Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before routing. Before rout- ing, inspect all workpieces for the following:

•Material Type: The router is intended for cut- ting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.

•Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embed- ded in wood. While routing, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause kickback, or break the bit, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.

•Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots may dislodge during a cutting operation. Knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have large/ loose knots or plan ahead to avoid shaping through them.

•Wet or "Green" Stock: Routing wood with a moisture content over 20% causes unneces- sary wear on the cutters, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

•Excessive Warping: Workpieces with exces- sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are danger- ous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being shaped. DO NOT process workpieces with these charac- teristics unless you properly square up the stock with a jointer and planer.

•Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cup- ping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table or the fence. A workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock during a cut and could cause kickback or severe injury.

NOTICE

If you are using a mobile base with the table saw, use one of the options below when moving the saw and the router table attach- ment:

•Attach an extension to the mobile base that will provide support for the router table leg.

•Install a locking caster onto the bottom of the router table leg.

•Adjust the router table leg foot up, move the unit, then re-adjust the foot to provide proper support to the router table.
