Black & Decker BDCMTR Instruction Manual page 17

router base firmly in contact with the workpiece
when cutting. Hold the router only by identified
gripping surfaces as identified in this manual (see
Using the Router). These precautions will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
f Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned router bit, causing an
uncontrolled router to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator.
f Keep your body positioned parallel to the
direction of the cut, not behind the direction
of the cut. KICKBACK could cause the router to jump
opposite the direction of the cut.
f Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the router
to swerve or stall under pressure.
f Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may
be extremely hot.
f Be sure that the motor has stopped completely
before you lay the router down. If the cutter head
is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could
cause injury or damage.
f Be sure that the router bit is clear of the
workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is in
contact with the workpiece when the motor starts it
could make the router jump, causing damage or injury.
f Only use router bits with a shank diameter of 1/4".
f Only use router bits rated at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the tool.
f Do not use router bits with a diameter greater
than 1-3/8" (35mm). Use of larger than recommended
bits can result in a hazard.
f Not intended to be used with a router table. Do not
use the tool in an inverted position.
f Do not attempt to use the tool in a stationary
mode.
f Make sure collet nut is securely tightened to
prevent router bit from slipping during use..
Warning! Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if drilling operation is dusty. Always wear certified
safety equipment:
f ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3),
f ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
f NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
f lead from lead-based paints,
f crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
f 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.
f Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay
on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
Warning! Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body Always operate tool in well-ventilated area
and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible.
Warning! Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
