MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER

Throughout this manual, we list WARN- INGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES. We advise that when you come to one of these listings, please read and understand it fully. Their meanings are:

WARNING

A WARNING is given when failure to follow the directions is likely to result in injury, loss of limb, or life.

CAUTION

A CAUTION is given when failure to fol- low the directions is likely to result in damage to the equipment.

NOTE

A NOTE is used to highlight an important procedure, practice or condition.

EYE PROTECTION

Always wear eye protection when you use power tools. Use goggles, safety glasses or a face shield to protect your eyes.

•Goggles completely surround and protect your eyes. Many goggles will also fit over regular glasses. Be sure your goggles fit closely, but comfortably.

•Safety glasses don’t fog as easily as goggles and can be worn all the time. Regular glasses normally have only im- pact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

•A face shield protects your entire face, not just your eyes.

HEARING PROTECTION

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise from high speed power tools will damage your hearing.

•Hearing protectors screen out certain fre- quencies and noise levels that can dam- age your hearing. For that reason, we recommend that you ALWAYS wear hear- ing protection when using your Overarm Pin Router.

GUARDING FOR ROUTING

Most shop accidents happen to woodwork- ers who fail to follow instructions, or fail to use guards and safety devices. Although proper use of guards and safety devices of- ten requires additional setup, the protection for you and your family is well worth the effort.

DRESS

Loose hair and clothing which could be en- tangled in rotating bits are very hazardous.

•Tuck long hair under a hat or tie it up. Do not wear ties, gloves, loose clothing, rings or other jewelry. Roll sleeves up above your elbows.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Follow the electrical requirements that ap- pear in the Owners Manual that came with your router. Do not overload your electrical circuits.
