GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate the Router in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
equipment creates sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating power
equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed. Children and visitors should never be in the work area.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the
tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering power equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull
the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating the Router. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Use the right product for the job. Do not attempt to force small equipment
to do the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications
for which this product was designed. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate and capacity for which it was designed. Do not modify this product,
and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not designed.
4. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Plugging in power equipment with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
5. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the Router may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the Router in unexpected situations.

7. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact
eye goggles. Dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the Router. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use the Router if the Power Switch does not turn
it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Router. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools and equipment out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools and equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain this product with care. Keep the Router and its Table clean
and in proper working order. Properly maintained tools and equipment
are easier to control. Do not use damaged tools and equipment. Tag
damaged tools and equipment “Do not use” until repaired.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the Router’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product
may become hazardous when used on another product.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
