WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the bit may
detach during use, causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
:
Never use bits which are larger in diameter than the open-
ing in the router subbase. These situations could cause
possible loss of control or create other hazardous condi-
tions that could cause possible serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
the spindle lock.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful
not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or
fingers. You will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
WARNING:
Bit continues to rotate after the router has been turned off.
To avoid injury, wait until the bit has come to a complete
stop before removing router from the workpiece.
