SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Test Run
! | Disconnect power to the | |||
machine when perform- | ||||
ing | any | maintenance, | ||
| assembly | or | adjust- | |
| ments. Failure to do this | |||
| may | result in | serious | |
| personal injury. |

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire operation process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the switch, just in case there is a problem. The machine should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and cor- rected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.
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 forces, causing flying metal to be launched into the air like a bullet. Serious personal injury or death could result.
