Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
In this manual, on the labeling,
and all other information provided with this product:
This is the safety alert
symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates
a hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
indicates a
hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used
with the safety
alert symbol, indicates a
hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the
warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools in ex-b.
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the a.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
SKU 67119 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain c.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool e.
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a f.
damp location is unavoidable, use
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are a.
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equip-b.
ment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. c.
Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger
on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or d.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear f.
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the g.
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Only use safety equipment that h.
has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unap-
proved safety equipment may not
provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be
NIOSH-approved for the specic
hazards in the work area.

Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use a.
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Do not use the power tool if the b.
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the c.
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the d.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for e.
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Service5.
Have your power tool serviced by a.
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Plunge Router Safety Warnings
Hold power tool by insulated grip-1.
ping surfaces when performing an
operation where cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a ″live″ wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool
″live″ and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical 2.
way to secure and support the
work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Use only accessories rated at least 3.
equal to maximum speed marked on
Router.
Only use router bits with a shank di-4.
ameter equal to the size of the tool’s
collet. The collet size is 1/4”.
Keep cutting tools sharp and f.
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories g.
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking

ately after cutting. It may be very hot,
potentially causing burns or injury.
Avoid overloading the tool. If the 15.
speed drops abnormally, decrease
the pressure on the bit immediately.
Do not apply excessive pressure to
the router while cutting.
Always use sharpened bits. If the bit 16.
stops abruptly, or the bit becomes
blocked, remove the Router from the
workpiece and shut it off.
Do not start the Router while the bit 17.
is in contact with the workpiece. Allow
the tool to reach its normal operating
speed before applying the bit to the
workpiece.
Use caution when setting the Lock-18.
