•Hold the tool firmly when starting, as start up rotation creates significant torque. This can cause you to drop the tool if you are not holding it firmly.
•Secure the object being routed by clamping, or holding in a vise. Never hold by hand.
4.Make sure the workpiece is free of nails or other debris. These can interfere with the cutting process, and possibly cause damage or injury.
5.Be careful to use the Power Switch properly. Be aware that the trimmer will continue to operate while the Power Switch is ON. You must manually turn the switch to OFF to stop the motor.
6.Hold the tool firmly while cutting. The action of the blade against the workpiece can cause it to “kick out,” jumping rapidly away from the workpiece. If you experience excessive “kick out” check your blade to assure that it is the proper type for the material being cut, and that it is sharp.
7.Do not handle the router bit immediately after use; it may be very hot, potentially causing burns or injury.
8.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.
9.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are: A) Lead from
B) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products C) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq. )
10.Avoid overloading the tool.
•If the speed drops abnormally, decrease the pressure on the bit immediately.
•Do not apply excessive pressure to the trimmer while cutting.
•Always use sharpened bits. If the bit stops abruptly, or the bit becomes blocked, release the trigger switch immediately.
•Never start the trimmer while the bit is in contact with any material. Allow the tool to reach its normal operating speed before applying it to the workpiece.
Warning: The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
