ROUTER  SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS 

Never force the bit or overload the router beyond
the expectations of the tool.

Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shank length

is

 

inserted securely in the router collet.

Never bottom out the bit in the collet. Allow 1/8”

clearance between shank and bottom of collet.

Always make sure the fence on your router table

is locked into position before each use.

 

Use reduced RPM speeds for large diameter bits.

Always rout in two or more passes when

large

 

amounts of stock must be removed.
