Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly
causing the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill. The
spinning bit can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting
diameter greater than the opening in the
base.
Safety Rules for Router Table
Read and understand the tool manual and
these instructions for the use of this table
with your router. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
serious personal injury.
Unplug tool before setting up in table,
making adjustments or changing bits.
Accidental start-up of the tool can cause
injury.
Fully assemble and tighten all the
fasteners required for this table and
mounting the router. Also remember to
occasionally check the stand and make sure
it is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and
may shift in use and cause serious injury.
Before operating make sure the entire
unit is placed on a solid, flat, level
surface. Serious injury could occur if tool is
unstable and tips.
Never stand on the table or use as ladder
or scaffolding. Serious injury could occur if
the table is tipped or the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted.
materials on or near the table such that it is
necessary to stand on the table or its stand
to reach them.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the workpiece, possibly
causing the bit to break.

WARNING
!
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that
have a cutting diameter that exceeds the
capacity of the tool. Overloading the tool
can lead to personal injury or tool failure.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the workpiece.
Router bits are intended for wood, wood
products and plastic only. Be sure the
workpiece does not contain nails, etc.
before routing. Cutting a nail or the like will
cause the carbides to be dislodged, fly
toward the operator side, and possibly strike
you or bystanders.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation
of the bit. The bit rotates counter-
clockwise as viewed from the top of table.
Feeding the work in the wrong direction will
cause the workpiece to "climb" up on the bit
and may lead to loss of control during
operation.
Do not store
Never place hands near the spinning bit.
Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally
mounted feather boards (spring sticks)
and other jigs to hold down the workpiece
and keep your hands away from the
spinning bit. Router cuts are blind cuts but
the bit still protrudes through the table and
you must be aware of the position of your
hands relative to the spinning bit.
