WARNING:
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust
masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t
make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.
2. Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this machine.
3. Using Quality Stock. Inspect the stock over carefully that you intend to route. NEVER route
a board that has loose knots, staples, or nails in it. Warped stock should be run through a
jointer before running it through the router table. DO NOT route a piece of stock if you have
any doubts about its structural integrity.
4. Preventing Piece Part Kickback. ALWAYS feed the piece part against the rotation of the
cutter. NEVER force the piece part into the cutter, let the cutter do the work. Excessive force
can result in dangerous kickback situations and poor cutting results.
5. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.
6. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
7. Secure Levers and Knobs.NEVER operate the sliding router table without tightening all
lock levers and knobs. Secure the fence and guide rails so the piece part does not slip out
of alignment and cause serious injury due to kickback.
8. Testing Cutter Rotation. With the machine disconnected from power, rotate the spindle to
test a new setup and to ensure proper cutter clearances.
9. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.

Connections
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. If an extension cord is used, use
only 3-wire extension cords, which have grounding type plugs and receptacles, which accept
the tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
“OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as
indicated on the tool.
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN
QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
