SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all instructions in this manual
before using this router. Failure to follow all instructions may result electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered workbenches and dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock
tools away when they are not in use.
• Make sure that the work area has ample lighting so you can see the
work and that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation
before using your router.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Know your power tool. Read this operator’s manual carefully. Learn the
router’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific, potential hazards
related to this tool.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool.
• Do not use the 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing
or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging the tool into an electric socket. Do not carry tools with your finger
on the switch. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch in the “ON” position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool “ON.”
A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
