FEATURES

KNOW YOUR ROUTER

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use your router, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your router to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

CHIP SHIELD

A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of your router for protection against flying dust and chips. The shield is designed to fit the front opening of the router base. See Figure 1. If necessary to remove chip shield, squeeze the tabs on each end and pull outward. To replace, squeeze the tabs at each end, fit into opening, then release.

Note: For your protection, do not use router without chip shield properly in place.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating your router. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, loose particles or foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, causing possible serious injury.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

The switch of your router is equipped with a "lock-on" feature which is convenient when operating for extended periods of time. To lock on, depress the trigger, push in the lock button located on the side of the handle, then while holding the lock button pushed in, release the trigger. To release the lock, depress the trigger and release it. See Figure 1.
