SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to router safety rules. If
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
2. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
3. Handle the bits very carefully.
4. Check the bit carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged bit immediately.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece
before operation.
