To reduce the risk of injury, avoid “climb cutting.”
Climb cutting can cause the workpiece to be thrown
violently out of your control. Even small router bits can
cause damage or injury if climb cutting.
Maintenance
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool
before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s electrical
system.
Tool Maintenance
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use,
examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, power cords and
extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving
parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool.
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage
to the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a
liquid to flow inside the tool
Cleaning Your Tool
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool. Never use cleaning agents and
solvents such as: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia, household detergents containing ammonia, flammable or combustible
solvents around tools. These are harmful to your tool, plastics and insulated parts.
