Additional Safety Instructions
for Laminate Trim Routers
1.READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL: This manual contains proper operating instructions for this router.
2.SAFETY EQUIPMENT: Wear safety glasses, respirator, and hearing pro- tection when operating a router.
3.POWER SOURCE: Unplug the router and make sure the switch is OFF before inserting or removing bit, making adjustments, or performing maintenance or service. DO NOT make adjustments while the router is running.
4.ROUTER BITS: Inspect router bits before use. DO NOT use router bits that have been dropped, cracked, or damaged. The router bit may shatter, causing serious injury.
5.INSTALLING BIT: Insert the bit all the way into the collet and tighten firmly. If the bit is not inserted far enough, the bit may slip or come out, causing injury. DO NOT use bits with a diameter larger than 11⁄8".
6.COLLET WRENCHES: Make sure the collet wrenches are removed from the router before turning it ON.
7.WORKPIECE: Check the workpiece for nails or other foreign objects which may cause the router to kick- back or damage the bit, possibly causing injury to the operator.
8.HOLDING THE WORKPIECE: Secure the workpiece with clamps or attach it to an immovable object. DO NOT hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs.
9.HOLDING THE ROUTER: Hold the router with both hands to control torque twist and kickback. Keep hands away from the spinning bit. Make sure the bit has come to a complete stop before setting the router down.
10.ROUTING: Always route with the base flat upon the workpiece. DO NOT start the router with the bit in contact with the workpiece.
11.FEED DIRECTION: Always feed the router against the cutter rotation. DO NOT start routing at a corner. Starting at a corner may cause the router to grab, damaging the workpiece, and possibly causing personal injury.
12.REMOVING THE BIT: The bit is sharp and will be hot after use. Use gloves when removing.
13.WORK AREA: DO NOT use the router in an area that may contain hidden live wires. Disconnect all power leading to the work area.
14.TOOL SERVICE: If the router is damaged, or not working correctly, repair it before use.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
