USING THE ROUTER WITH DUST EXTRACTION
•When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum cleaner is out of the way and secure so that it will not tip over or interfere with the router or workpiece. The vacuum hose and power cord must also be positioned so that they don't interfere with the router or workpiece. If the vacuum cleaner or vacuum hose cannot be positioned properly, it should be removed.
•Turn on vacuum cleaner before router.
•Empty the vacuum cleaner as necessary.
