KNOW YOUR ROUTER
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use your router, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your router to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of your
router for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield
is designed to fit the front opening of the router base. See
Figure 1. If necessary to remove chip shield, squeeze the
tabs on each end and pull outward. To replace, squeeze the
tabs at each end, fit into opening, then release.
Note: For your protection, do not use router without chip
shield properly in place.
