4. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
5. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before
turning on the Plunge Router.
6. Do not force the Plunge Router. This tool will do the work better and safer at the
speed and capacity for which it was designed.
7. Always unplug the Plunge Router from its electrical outlet before performing
and inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
8. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement
or other masonry products, arsenic and 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 those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5,
et seq.)
9. PACEMAKER SAFETY WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult
their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity
to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to, or failure of the pacemaker. In
addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:
- Avoid operating power tools alone.
- Don't use a power tool with the power switch locked on.
- If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground
fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a
good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
- Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
10. Never leave the Plunge Router unattended while running. Turn power off if you
have to leave the Plunge Router.
11. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during
mixing may cause these to loosen.
12. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water.
13. Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected electrical outlet.
14. Do not set the Plunge Router down until the motor comes to a complete stop.
15. Keep fingers, clothing, and hair away from the moving router bit.
