OPERATION
WARNING:
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the bit may detach during use, causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never use bits which are larger in diameter than the open- ing in the router subbase. These situations could cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous condi- tions that could cause possible serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging the spindle lock.
WARNING:
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or fingers. You will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
WARNING:
Bit continues to rotate after the router has been turned off. To avoid injury, wait until the bit has come to a complete stop before removing router from the workpiece.
