Bit Installation
Router bits are very sharp. Use care in
handling to prevent injury.
Always use bits that are rated for 20,000 R.P.M. or higher. Do not use bits that are designed for slow R.P.M. operation. If you do not know the maximum rated R.P.M. for a particular bit, do not use it in the overarm router. The bit could break apart under the high centrifical forces, causing flying metal to be launched into the air like a bullet. Serious personal injury or death could result.
The Model G8030 Overarm Router uses standard router bits.
