the power switch and remove the router plug from the power source and have the missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation_

2.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTERS

CAUTION:

Cutter bits coast after router is switched off.

]

 

1.HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator

2.Maintain a firm grip on the router with both hands to resist starting torque°

3.NEVER attempt to use the router motor without first installing it in an approved fixed base. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury and damage to the motor.

4.MAKE SURE the motor housing does not move up or down when clamped in the

fixed base. If motor is not securely clamped in base, adjustments will not be accurate.

5.DO NOT HAND-HOLDTHE ROUTER IN AN UPSIDE DOWN OR HORIZONTAL

POSITION. The motor can separate from the base if not properly attached according to the instructions.

6.TIGHTEN COLLET / NUT securely to prevent the cutter bit from slipping. If the collet/nut is not securely tightened, the cutter bit may detach during use, causing serious personal injury.

7o NEVER tighten coilet/nut without a cutter bit installed in the collet/nut.

8.USE CLAMPS or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform and hold the workpiece rigidly in position. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control

9.NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs. It is important to support and clamp the workpiece properly in order to minimize body exposure,

bit binding, or loss of control.

10.ALWAYS keep chip shield clean and in place.

11.STAY ALERT and clear the Router cutter bit path of any obstructions BEFORE starting the motor. Keep cutting area clear of all foreign objects while motor is running.

12.CHECKTO SEE that the cord will not "hang up" during routing operation.
