PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
> To avoid serious injury, keep hands and fingers away from the
spinning router bit. Maintain awareness of the bit at all times.
> USE ONLY IN A VARIABLE-SPEED TABLE-MOUNTED
ROUTER WITH A WORKING FENCE. NEVER USE IN
A HANDHELD ROUTING APPLICATION.
> NEVER FEED YOUR WORKPIECE
BETWEEN THE BIT AND THE
FENCE. Because of the direction
of the bit’s rotation, the bit could
“grab” the workpiece and propel it
away from the table at a high velocity,
potentially resulting in property
damage and serious injury to
anyone in its path.
> Additionally, when the bit grabs the
workpiece, your hands could be drawn
into the bit, resulting in serious injury.
AVOID THIS SITUATION!

> Turn off and unplug your router before
installing the bit or adjusting the
cutter height.
> To avoid bit slippage during use, make
sure to install the bit properly in the
router. Insert the bit in the collet until it
bottoms out; then back it out 1/16" to
1/8" and tighten the collet.
> Never use a router bit that is
damaged or dull.
> This router bit requires the use of a
fence with split faces. The bit must be
partly “buried” in the fence between
the halves of the split fence.
> ALWAYS use table featherboards to
make sure the workpiece stays tight to
to the fence as you move it past the bit.
Always use a push stick to advance the
workpiece through the cut.
> Never postion a featherboard so
that it applies pressure into the cutter.
Use featherboards only on infeed
and outfeed sides of the cutter.
> Recommended operating speed for this
router bit is 18,000 rpm. Do not exceed
the recommended speed.
