RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■ Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make
sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging in
the tool.
■ Us e only the manufacturer’s recommended
accessories. Consult this operator’s manual for
recommended accessories. Using improper accessories
may cause risk of injury.
■ Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally
contacted.
■ Periodically check for worn or damaged parts.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, loose mounting
brackets and any other conditions that may affect
operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced. Before the
tool is used again, make sure that the repaired or
replaced part is operating properly and performing its
intended function.
■ Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
■ Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
■ Do not abus e cord. Never yank the cord to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
■ Keep bits clean and sharp. Sharp bits minimize
stalling. Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment of
the material and possible operator injury.
■ Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands
away from the bit. Do not reach underneath table or
in the cutting path with your hands or fingers at any
time while tool is connected to power source.
■ Firmly clamp or bolt your router table to a
workbench so the router table surface is at
approximately hip height.
■ Keep tool dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, petrol, petroleum-based products or any
solvents to clean tool.
■ Stay alert. Never operate a power tool when tired
or while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
■ Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and
off. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service centre.
■ Always turn switch off before disconnecting it to
avoid accidental starting.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
■ lead from lead-based paints.
■ crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
masonry products.
■ chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
