RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

WARNING:

Means that failure to follow this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

WARNING:

Read all safety instructions before using

Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its applica- tions and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards.

Ground all tools (unless double insulated)

If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle, the green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

Keep away from hazardous materials

Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes, flammable liquids, or combustibles.

Protect yourself against personal injury

DO NOT operate any tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

Dress for safety

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry, as these items can get caught and draw you into moving parts. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear. Tie back long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Avoid accidental starting

Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position before plugging in.

Never stand on tool

Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. DO NOT store materials above or near the tool, making it necessary to stand on the tool to reach them.

Protect and use suitable cords

NEVER carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Protect cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. For outdoor operation, use extension cords intended for outdoor use.

Avoid a dangerous environment

DO NOT use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit and provide an adequate surrounding work space.

Check direction of feed

Feed workpiece against the router bit’s direction of rotation.

Check damaged parts

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, broken parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

Never leave tool running unattended

Turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Secure router table

DO NOT attempt to use your router table unless it is fastened firmly to your workbench or floor.

Disconnect tools before servicing

When changing bits, make sure router is unplugged.

Keep guards in place

Be sure guards are in working order, properly adjusted, and aligned.
