2. Specific Safety Regulations for Routers
1. Always unplug the mains lead before attaching the router to a table or workbench.
2. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
3. Do not wear any loose-fitting clothing, gloves, necklaces, bracelets or other
jewellery that can get caught in moving parts.
4. Make sure that the workpiece is securely fastened with clamps, etc before
using the router.
5. Hold the router firmly in both hands and always feed the router against the
direction of rotation.
6. Do not touch the router cutter straight after cutting; it gets very hot during use.
7. Make certain that the cutter has come to a complete stop before releasing the
spindle lock.
8. Do not force the router. Balance the router feed rate to the spindle speed, do
not exert too much pressure on the cutter or too little as this could leave burn
marks on the wood.
9. Keep the ventilation grille free from debris and dust to prevent the motor
from overheating.
10. Always wear a dust mask when using the router.
11. Always wear a visor or safety glasses. The router can eject wood chips into
eyes and cause permanent eye damage.
12. Always wear ear defenders when working with routers; otherwise you will risk
permanent hearing impairment.
13. Use a dust extractor.
