WARNING!
If any part of the digital plunge router is missing or damaged, do not plug the tool in or use it
until the part has been repaired or replaced. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
injury.
• Only use router tables with on-board-switch controlled receptacles.
Failure to use router
tables with all the appropriate safety features could result in serious personal injury.
• If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful not to touch the collet/nut or
cutter bit with your hands or fingers.
The heat buildup from cutting could cause severe burns.
Always use the wrench provided.
• Avoid “climb cutting.” See the “OPERATION” section in this manual. “Climb cutting”
increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible serious injury.
Additional safety instructions for operation
WARNING!
Be sure to read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• Know your power tool. Read the Owner’s Manual carefully.
Learn the applications and the
specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire or serious injury.
• Protect your hearing.
Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
• All visitors and bystanders must wear the same safety equipment as the operator wears.
• Inspect the tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by a qualified
service technician. Be aware of the cord location.
• Always check the tool for damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified service technician.
• Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently, and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have these instructions, also.
• Use the appropriate extension cord if operating a power tool outdoors. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one sturdy enough for the amperage drawn by your tool. An undersized cord will produce a drop
in line voltage, resulting in reduced power and overheating. The following table illustrates the correct
cord size, depending on cord length and the tool’s ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge, the heavier the cord.
