Do not plug the router power cord into a wall outlet. It must be plugged into the router table switch. Power tool switches and controls need to be
within your reach in emergency situations°
Before operating, make sure that the entire unit (table with router installed) is placed on and secured to a solid, flat, level surface and that it will not tip.
Use of auxiliary infeed and ouffeed supports is necessary for long or wide work pieces. Long work pieces without adequate support can flip off the table or cause the table to tip over.
Do not use the router table without the bit guard. Remove all dust, chips, and any other foreign particles that can affect its function. Adjust the guard height so that it clears the router bit and work piece. The guard will aid in keeping hands from unintended contact with the rotating bit.
Never place your fingers near a spinning bit or under the guard when the router is plugged in.
Never hold the work piece on the ouffeed side of the bit. Pressing the work piece against the
Guide the work piece against the fence to maintain control of the work piece. Do not place material between the router bit and the fence while rout- ing the edge. This placement will cause the material to become wedged, possibly causing kickback.

Be sure the work piece does not contain nails, etc. Cutting nails may cause loss of control.
Do not use bits with cutting diameters that exceed the clearance hole in the tabletop insert. The bit could contact the inset ring, throwing fragments.
Install the bit in accordance with the instructions in the router manual and
securely clamp the router bit in the collet chuck before making any cuts.
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 work piece, possibly causing the bit to break or the material to kickback.
The router table is designed to cut flat, straight, and squared material. Do not cut material that is warped, wobbly, or otherwise unstable. If the material is slightly curved, but otherwise stable, cut the material with the concave side against the table or fence. Cutting the material with the concave side up or away from the fence may cause the warped or wobbly material to roll and kick back, causing the user to lose control.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The cutting edge may grab the material, causing loss of control of the work piece.
