invite accidents.

® Don’t use in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or

wet locations or expose them to rain. Don’t operate power tools in potentially explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

® Operate the tool in well-ventilated areas, and provide proper dust removal.

Dust generated from some materials can be hazardous to your health. Use dust-collection systems whenever possible.

« Keep children and bystanders away. All visitors should be kept a safe dis

tance away from the work area.

® Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it

was not designed.

e Make the workshop kid-proof with padlocks, master switches, or by remov

ing starter keys.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY Grounded tools

e 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 router table is equipped with an electrical cord having an equipment-ground ing conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a match ing outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

o Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit into the outlet, have the proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

» improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a

risk of electric shock. The conductor with a green-colored outer insulation cover, with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor if repair or replacement is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

» Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel If the grounding in

structions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

is not available. The tempo

rary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connect ed to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Use the proper extension cord.

® Make sure that your extension cord is in good condition

e When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the

current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
