SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY
CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a
“live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
2. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.
3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-
cutting.
4. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during
operation.
5. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.
6. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.
7. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent
personal injury.
8. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.
9. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely
hot.
10. AVOID “CLIMB-CUTTING”. (See section “USING THE ROUTER” in this
manual). “Climb-cutting” increases the chance for loss of control
resulting in possible personal injury.
11. DO NOT HAND-HOLD THE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN OR
HORIZONTAL POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if
not properly attached according to the instructions.
12. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE
TOXIC. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when
working with these materials. Request and follow any safety
information available from your material supplier.
19. Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do
not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
