“Climb-Cutting” may cause loss of control, possibly resulting in personal injury.
When “Climb-Cutting” is required (e.g., backing around a corner), exercise
extreme caution to maintain control of the router. The high speed of the cutter
bit during a proper feeding operation (left to right), results in very little kickback
under normal conditions. However, if the cutter bit strikes a knot, an area of hard
grain, or a foreign object, “kickback” may result. Kickback may damage your
workpiece and could cause you to lose control of the router, possibly causing
personal injury.
Kickback is always in the opposite direction of the clockwise cutter bit rotation,
or counter-clockwise. To guard against and help prevent kickback, plan your
set-up and direction of feed so that you’re always keeping the sharp edges of
the cutter bit biting straight into uncut wood. Always inspect your workpiece for
knots, hard grain, and foreign objects.
