1. The speed range of the router is 8,000 - 23,000 RPM. Make sure that the router bit you wish to use is suitable
for your router. Check the router bit’s maximum speed rating specified by the manufacturer. It must be capable of
operating at the maximum rotation speed of 23,000 RPM.
2. Never use dull or damaged router bits. Damaged bits may break during use, and dull bits require additional force
to operate, which may cause you to lose control. Any cracked or broken bit must be replaced before operation.
3. Before installing a router bit, make sure the power cord plug is removed from the electrical outlet and the router
is switched to off.
4. The router bit shank must fit the size of the collet. If the router bit cannot be firmly gripped by the collet, it will
become loose during operation, resulting in serious personal injury.
5. Never start the tool when the router bit is touching the workpiece.
6. Make sure the collet nut and all adjustment knobs are securely tightened before operating the router. Loose ad-
justment knobs and collet nuts can cause unexpected shifts in momentum, increasing the chances of personal injury.
7. Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and hearing protection when operating the router.
8. Before operating the router, be sure to run the machine without load for some time to check for runnout due to
improper installation of the router bit.
9. Avoid cutting nails and staples with the router. Before operation, inspect the workpiece to make sure the work
surface is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into foreign objects can cause unexpected injury.
10. Always properly attach the workpiece to a stable platform using clamps or other securing devices. Never hold
the workpiece in your hands or across your leg during operation.
11. Hold the router handles firmly with both hands during operation.
12. Keep in mind the rotational direction of the router bit before attempting to operate. Always cut with the correct
direction of the feed in mind (see page 12, “Direction of Feed”).
13. Do not set the router down until the motor has come to a complete stop. The exposed spinning bit can cause
serious injury or cause the router to move unexpectedly.
14. Before removing the router bit from the workpiece, make sure that the power switch is turned off and the router
bit has come to a complete stop.
15. To reduce the risk of getting burned, do not touch the router bit immediately after use as it may get hot during
operation.
16. Always unplug the tool before changing bits or making adjustments. Failure to do so can result in the tool start-
ing unexpectedly.
