SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8. Only use sharp cutters that are not
chipped or cracked. Blunt cutters will cause
stalling.
9. Secure small pieces of wood rmly
before working. Never hold a workpiece by
hand.
10. Secure the workpiece using clamping
equipment.
11. Before starting the router, check that
the cutter bit is rmly positioned and
secured in the collet.
12. Do not exceed the maximum indicated
rotation speed of the cutter bit.
13. Routing operations must always be
performed against the direction of rotation
of the cutter bit (cutter rotation).
14. Note that the direction of rotation is
reversed when the router is installed in the
router table: when installed in the router
table, the cutter rotates counter-clockwise.
15. The cutter bit must be running at full
speed before it is lowered to the workpiece.
16. Be prepared for the reaction torque
of the router, particularly if the cutter bit
becomes jammed in the workpiece.
17. Become familiar with the working area,
and be alert for possible hazards that
cannot be heard due to the noise of the
router.
18. Never slow the router down with your
hands.
19. Do not touch the cutter immediately
after operation. It may be extremely hot,
and could burn.
20. Never stop the router by applying
lateral pressure to the cutter.
21. Do not force the router. It will do a better
job if it is allowed to work at its intended
speed.
22. Avoid cutting nails and screws. Inspect
timber before cutting, and remove all nails
and screws.
23. In the event of an electrical or
mechanical malfunction, switch the router
off immediately, and disconnect the power
cord from the outlet.
24. Wear eye protection. Feed work piece
against rotation of cutter. Do not use
awkward hand positions. Keep fingers away
from revolving-use fixtures when necessary.
Use overhead guard when adjustable fence
is not in place. Do not expose to rain or use
in damp locations. Risk of fire or electric
shock. Do not exceed 15A max load for
receptacles. Risk of fire or injury.
