3.Under no circumstance is the Router base ever to be removed from the Router in order to use bits that are too large to use with the base assembly attached. Removal of the Router base, and using the Router “free hand” can lead to serious bodily injury.
4.Never touch the bit, collet, or any other moving parts while the Router is in operation.
5.Never lay the Router down until it has stopped rotating completely.
6.Hold the Router firmly when starting, as startup rotation creates significant torque.
7.Never hold workpiece by hand. Secure the workpiece by clamping, or with other holding devices.
8.Make sure the workpiece is free of nails and other obstacles. These can interfere with the cutting process, and possibly cause damage and injury.
9.Hold the tool firmly while cutting. The action of the bit against the workpiece can cause it to “kick out”, jumping rapidly away from the workpiece. This can be caused by an improper type, or dull bit being used.
10.Do not handle the Router bit immediately after cutting. It may be very hot, potentially causing burns or injury.
11.Avoid overloading the tool. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease the pressure on the bit immediately. Do not apply excessive pressure to the router while cutting.
12.Always use sharpened bits. If the bit stops abruptly, or the bit becomes blocked, remove the Router from the workpiece and shut it off.
13.Never start the Router while the bit is in contact with workpiece. Allow the tool to reach its normal operating speed before applying the bit to the workpiece.
14.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Router. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
15.Always wear
16.Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this tool in a damp or wet locations.
17.Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the Router.
