tool and bit will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed,

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired_
4_ DISCONNECT the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally

comes to a complete stop.

tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

other condition that may affect the tool's operation, tf damaged, have the tool serviced
before using° Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

cord and grounded power supply system° Applicable only to Class II (double-insulated)
tools° This router motor is double insulated.
