Safety Warnings
for Routers
• KICKBACK RISK. We refer as kickback
WARNING
to the sudden and strong movement the tools have
outwards from the work piece that could make the user
loosing control or cause injuries. Usually is caused when
the cutting bit is stuck in the piece or due to an inefficient
operation. To prevent this the following cautions must be
followed:
• Use cutting bits in good repair and
CAUTION
double-check that they are properly installed. Wrongly
installed, damaged or dull or worn bits have a tendency to
get stuck into the material causing kickback.
• When operating the router hold it
CAUTION
firmly by its side handles. Keep your body well balanced
and good footing with both feet on the ground to resist
the force of a possible kickback.
• To make a cut wait for the bit to reach
CAUTION
its full speed before starting to cut. Do not start the tool
having the bit touching the work piece. It could cause
kickback.
• To restart the job inside the cut, center the bit into the
cut and check the teeth are not buried into the material.
CAUTION • If stopping the cut while the router is
being operated, turn off the switch and hold the tool
inside the work piece until the motor comes to a
complete stop. Do not try to remove the bit while the
motor is running. It could cause kickback.
• To minimize the risk of the bit getting
CAUTION
stuck and cause kickback, before cutting the piece remove
all nails. Damp, warped or pressurized woods need special
attention while cutting. Wood gum and resin hardens in the
cutting bits making the router work slow. Use gum and resin
remover, hot water or kerosene to remove the build up.
DO NOT use gasoline.
• Before starting to cut double-check all
CAUTION
the cutting depth adjusting knobs are tight and secured.
If the knobs move while cutting they can cause kickback.
CAUTION • Cuts with excessive depth and/or using
large diameter bits increase load on the unit and the
possibility of kickback. Make several passes with the
router using progressive depths when the job requires
removing a lot of material or when using large diameter
bits.
DANGER • Keep hands away from the cutting area
and from the cutting bit. When operating the tool hold it
firmly by both handles to prevent accidental loss of
control and getting injured.
• Accidental contact with a rotating
WARNING
cutting bit can cause severe personal injury.
DANGER • NEVER hold the piece about to be cut
with your hands or on top of your leg. Fasten the work
piece in a proper way to prevent the cutting bit to make
contact with your body, or to prevent the bit to get stuck
or loosing control over the tool or work piece.
DANGER • Do not try to remove debris while the
bit is turning.
• Never put your hand under the work
WARNING
piece while the tool is running.
CAUTION • Double check all the parts are working
properly before each use. If some part is malfunctioning
do service before operating the tool.
WARNING • Remove the cutting bit before
transporting the tool.
CAUTION • Holding the tool by the insulated parts
prevents electric shock to the user if the bit makes contact
with hidden power wiring.
WARNING • Disconnect the tool from the power
supply before maintenance, removing or installing bits,
the parallel guide or the dust-extractor adaptor.
• ALWAYS keep the power feed cable away from the
cutting area. The power feed cable shall NEVER hang on
top of the work piece when cutting.
• Always wear safety glasses with side protection. If the
job produces dust, wear also an anti-dust mask.
Toxic Materials
Dust originated when cutting materials containing
chemical substances are known to be harmful to your
health. To reduce exposure to these chemical substances
work in well-ventilated areas and wear the right safety
equipment such as anti-dust masks specifically designed
to filter microscopic particles.
