IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! Before operating any router read and
understand all safety instructions in the
owner’s manual that came with the router.
! If you do not have a manual, contact the
manufacturer and obtain one before using
any power tool.
! Always wear eye protection in compliance
with ANSI safety standards when operating
any power tool.
! Always use proper guards and safety
devices when operating power tools and
machinery.
! Carefully check router bits before each use.
Do not use if damage or defect is
suspected.
! Do not exceed the recommended RPM for
any router bit.
! Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that
may catch on tools or equipment.
! Unplug the tool or machine when mounting
or making any adjustments to mechanical
performance.
DO NOT USE A CORDLESS DRILL TO
RAISE AND LOWER THE LIFT CARRIAGE.
THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION WILL CAUSE
PREMATURE WEAR OF THE THREADS
AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
ROUTER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
! Never force the bit or overload the router
beyond the expectations of the tool.
! Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shank
length is inserted securely in the router
collet.
! Never bottom out the bit in the collet. Allow
1/8” clearance between shank and bottom
of collet.
! Always make sure the fence on your router
table is locked into position before each
use.
! Always rout in two or more passes when
large amounts of stock must be removed.
! Use reduced RPM speeds for large
diameter bits.
