SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTERS

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves It unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tcH)l to twist.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

• Some woods contain preservatives that can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier. •Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when using the tool. Never place hands near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with hands is safer.

• Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must handled with care. Damaged bits can break during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, which could cause the bit to break. Damaged bits can throw carbide pieæs and burn the workpiece.

• After changing the bit or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. I-ck)se adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control. Loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate an improperly installed bit.

• Never start the tool when the bit is in contact with the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the tool.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. The spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

• Never touch the bit during or immediately after use. After use the bit, collet, and collet nut may be hot enough to burn bare skin.

• Never clamp the workpiece to a hard surface, such as concrete or stone. Contact with the bit could cause the tool to jump and loss of control.

• Only operate the router when held. Do not clamp or secure the router to a surface and hold the workpiece by hand.

• Never use bits larger than the smallest of the openings in the base, sub-base, or dust collection port.

• Do not loosen or remove the plunge base caps. Internal springs are under pressure. If loosened or removed, the plunge base caps and internal springs will become projectiles, which could cause in- jury.

• Never use the router with a router table or router lift. Serious in •ury or product damage may occur. To reduce the risk of injury,

Holding the Tool

• Keep hands and body away from the bit and all moving parts.

• Sharp bits must be handled with care. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

• Fixed Base
  Hold the tool using the body grip and handle or both handles. The body grip features an adjustable strap.

• Accessory Plunge Base
  Hold the tool with both hands on the handles at all times for maximum control.

Slide Switch Operation

• To lock on the switch, slide the switch to ON and press down on the front of the switch.

• To stop the tool, press and release the switch.

• Make sure the tool comes to a complete stop before laying down the tool.

Making the Cut

• Before cutting, check that the collet nut and all adjustments are tight. Verify that the locking lever is fully closed and secure.

• Set the speed and depth of cut for the material being worked. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not use excessive force on the router so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods, problem materials, or extreme cuts to make more than one pass to get the desired depth of cut.

• When using a dust collection hose, place the hose out of the path of the router.

• Before beginning the cut on the workpiece, make a sample cut on a scrap piece of lumber to check the settings and dimensions. Always be sure the workpiece is secure before routing. When routing edges, the router should be held firmly down and against the workpiece.

• Since the cutter rotates clockwise, more efficient cutting will be obtained if the router is moved from left to right as you stand facing the work. The arrows on the base of the tool indicate the direction of bit rotation. When working on the outside of an edge, move the router in a counterclockwise direction.

• When working on an inside edge, move the router in a clockwise direction.

• Moving the router in the opposite direction is known as “climb cutting”.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid “climb cutting”. Climb cutting increases the potential for loss of control of the tool and damage to the workpiece. If climb cutting can not be avoided, use extreme caution.

Fixed Base with an Edge Guide
To obtain a straight cut, use the edge guide, or clamp a piece of scrap lumber to use as a guide.

1.  To adjust the straight edge guide, loosen the Wing nuts and adjust the distance between the bit and the edge guide. Tighten the wing nuts securely.
2. To use the édge guide, move the tool with the edge guide flush With the side of the workpiece.
3. To use a piece of scrap lumber as a guide (when the distance between the side of the workpiece and the cutting position is too wide for the edge guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, securely clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide against the router base.

Plunge Cutting

Always hold the handles firmly with both hands during operation. Do not use a plunge base if the console does not rise automatically when the plunge release lever is pressed. Never use the router with a router table or router lift. Serious injury or product damage may occur.
