SPECIFIC ROUTER SAFETY
!
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
SOME EXAMPLES OF THESE
CHEMICALS ARE:
• Lead from lead-based paint
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and Arsenic
and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
• Disconnect the power supply before
making any adjustments or changing bits.
Inspect bits carefully before installing
• Read, understand, and follow the
instructions packaged with the router
table and router lift. Do not plug in
Remote Power until Router Table Motor is
fully installed.
• Always make sure the work piece is free
from nails, screws, and other foreign
objects.
• Never start the tool when the bit is in
contact with the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss
of control of the work piece.
• Never place hands near the moving cutter
• Never touch the bit during or immediately
after use. After use the bit may be hot
enough to burn bare skin.
• Never use dull or damaged bits and sharp
bits must be handled with care.
• Dull bits require more force, which
could cause the bit to break.
• Damaged bits can throw carbide
pieces and burn the work piece
• Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face
shield (with safety glasses or goggles) and
appropriate hearing protection.
• Ensure that the bit is securely mounted
in the chuck and the Router Power Unit
is tightly clamped in the Router Lift
• Make sure that the bit can rotate freely
before reconnecting and switching
on the power.
• Keep all cords clear of cutting area.
• To reduce the risk of injury, avoid “climb
cutting.” Climb cutting can cause the
work piece to be thrown violently out
of your control. Even small router bits
can result in climb cutting. Always feed
the work piece against the cutter rotation.
