Important Safety Precautions
Before operating any machinery or power tool, read and understand all safety
instructions in the owner’s manual for the tool or machine.
If you do not have a manual, contact the manufacturer and obtain one before
using any tool or machine.
Always wear eye protection in compliance with ANSI safety standards when
operating any power tools or machinery.
Always use proper guards and safety devices when operating power tools and
machinery.
Carefully check router bits before each use. Do not use if damage or defect is
suspected.
Do not exceed the recommended RPM for any router bit.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may catch on tools, machinery or
equipment.
Unplug the tool or machine when mounting or making any adjustments to
mechanical performance.
Routing Safety Precautions
Always make sure the fence on your router table is locked firmly into
position before each use.
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 bottom of
sank and bottom of collet.
Always rout in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be
removed.
Use reduced RPM speeds for larger diameter router bits.
