25. Do not touch a bit immediately after use; it will
be hot and may cause skin burns.
26. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
27. Maintain tools with care. Do not use dull or
damaged cutters. Keep cutting tools clean and
sharp for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use your hands.
29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.
30. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
31. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.
32. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
33. Keep electrical cord away from sharp edges,
heat or moving parts. Position cord so it will not
become a trip hazard.
34. Do not plug router directly into wall outlet.
Connect it to the provided cable receptacle on
the router table, so that all machine movement
can be regulated by the single controller.
35. Before using the PM-2X2R routing machine,
read and become thoroughly familiar with all
manufacturer’s operating and safety
instructions that accompanied the router you
will be using.
36. Always secure workpiece to spoil board using
clamps or double-sided tape. Never hold
workpiece down by hand while operating.
37. Make sure workpiece is free from nails or other
foreign objects.
38. After installing a bit, make sure collet is securely
tightened. An unsecured bit may fly loose from
the collet and cause injury.
39. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 (sect. 8.2) shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
40. This machine is intended for cutting wood,
acrylics and certain plastics only. Do not use it
to cut metal.
