Additional Safety Instructions for Overarm Routers

SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.READ THE ROUTER MANUAL. Read and understand the instruction manual that was included with the router you intend to install. If you do not understand the safety and operation instructions for your router, do not install it on the Model W1736.

2.ROUTER INSTALLATION. Make sure the installed router is tightly secured in the housing before turning it ON.

3.PLUNGE DEPTH. Always check the plunge depth with the router turned OFF to make sure that an installed router bit will not contact the table when the foot switch is pressed and the router is running.

4.GUARDS. Make sure all guards are in place during operation. If you remove them for cleaning, replace them immediately. If guards become cracked, replace them immediately before operating the Model W1736 again.

5.AVOIDING CONTACT WITH ROUTER BIT.

•Never place your hand under the router while the router is ON or when plunging the router.

•Never attempt a routing operation that will bring any part of your hand/fingers within 12" of the spinning router bit.

•If the workpiece is too small, build a clamping jig to hold in place, or use a longer workpiece and cut to size after routing.

•Use the table pin. The table pin guides the workpiece in a predictable manner and greatly increases operator control in the event of a kickback or climb cut.

6.PATTERN ROUTING. Test all patterns with the table pin to make sure that the pattern template works before attempting to rout your workpiece.
