Read and understand the tool manual and these instructions for the
use of this table with your router. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in serious personal injury.
Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.)
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug 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. Double Insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system. Before
plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage
supplied is within the voltage marked on the
nameplate. Do not use "AC only" rated tools
with a DC power supply.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded. If operating the power tool in damp locations
is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must
be used to supply the power to your tool. Electrician's
rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your
personal safety.
3. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock. Refer to "Important Infornation
about Extension Cords" on page 4.
Power Tool Safety Rules
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Keep guards in place. Maintain the guards in working
order and in proper adjustment and alignment.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is "OFF"
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
"ON" invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool "ON". A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety goggles (head protection). Wear safety
goggles (must comply with ANSI Standard Z87.1) at
all times. Wear non-slip footwear and a hard hat, if
appropriate. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs)
during extended periods of operation.
Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "ON" or
"OFF". Any tool that cannot be 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.
5. Keep guards in place. Maintain the guards in working
order and in proper adjustment and alignment.
6. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
