Safety Rules for Router Table

BM 2610943371 07-06.qxp 7/24/06 9:03 AM Page 4

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Never touch the bit during or immediately after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill. The spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

Never use bits that have a cutting diameter greater than the opening in the base.

!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•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.

Read and understand the tool manual and these instructions for the use of this table with your router. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious personal injury.

Unplug tool before setting up in table, making adjustments or changing bits. Accidental start-up of the tool can cause injury.

Fully assemble and tighten all the fasteners required for this table and mounting the router. Also remember to occasionally check the stand and make sure it is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and may shift in use and cause serious injury.

Before operating make sure the entire unit is placed on a solid, flat, level surface. Serious injury could occur if tool is unstable and tips.

Never stand on the table or use as ladder or scaffolding. Serious injury could occur if the table is tipped or the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near the table such that it is

necessary to stand on the table or its stand to reach them.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to break.

Match the appropriate bit and its speed to your application. Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that exceeds the capacity of the tool. Overloading the tool can lead to personal injury or tool failure.

Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the workpiece.

Router bits are intended for wood, wood products and plastic only. Be sure the workpiece does not contain nails, etc. before routing. Cutting a nail or the like will cause the carbides to be dislodged, fly toward the operator side, and possibly strike you or bystanders.
