while the locking mechanism is engaged. Do not lay the router down or hand it to another person while the
locking mechanism is engaged.
19. Before Routing, run the tool for about 10 seconds to ensure that all moving parts are running smoothly and
there are no loose parts, rattles, or sparking that would indicate damage.

missing, contact Elite Tools for a replacement.
21. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
22. When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
23. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it
from its electrical outlet before leaving.
24. Only use accessories rated to the speed of the tool. Other accessories may fly apart, causing severe
personal injury.

26. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be
implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
27. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] 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 or other masonry products
• 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. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
28. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then
have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related
to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
