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, cement, and 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 fil ter out microscopic particles.

Manual Before Operating This Equipment

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working

order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. NEVER USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use power tools

in damp or wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7. NEVER FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. DO NOT force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair cov ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

cating and changing accessories.

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with magnetic

contact starting switches there is a risk of

starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO

NOT leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running a machine.

20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any instruc

tions you give in regards to machine opera tion are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubri

Additional Safety Instructions

For Router Tables

1. HAND POSITIONING. Never pass your

hands directly over or in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches cutter, move it in an arc motion away from the cutter to the outfeed side and reposition that hand beyond the cutter.

2. STOCK LENGTH. Do not rout stock shorter than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs. Where practical, rout longer stock and cut to size.

3. BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This keeps the cutters on the underside of the workpiece and provides a distance guard for the operator.

4. TEST ROTATION. Always rotate the spindle by hand, with the machine unplugged, to test any new setup to ensure proper cutter clear ance before starting the machine.

5. KEEP ANY UNUSED PORTION OF THE CUTTER BELOW THE TABLE SURFACE.

6. DEPTH OF CUT. Never remove too much

material in one pass. Several light passes are safer and give a cleaner finish.

7. IF AT ANYTIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING THE ROUTER TABLE! Then contact our

service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

8. SAFETY DEVICES. The use of push sticks as safety devices in some applications is smart; in others it can be quite dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your hand like a bullet, potentially causing serious injury.

We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alterna tive. Use a guard or other type of protective device at all times.

9. ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER.

10. DO NOT REMOVE THE RETRACTABLE GUARD ON THE FENCE.

11. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION

in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to, the possibility of a allergic reaction and always wear an approved respirator.

12. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH THE ROUTER TO BE INSTALLED IN THIS TABLE.

13. DO NOT REACH UNDER THE ROUTER TABLE WHILE THE ROUTER IS PLUGGED IN OR RUNNING.

Unfamiliarity with this manual could result in serious personal injury. Read and become familiar with the contents of this manual, including all the safety warnings.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

General

If the machine is wired incorrectly a fire could result. Make sure your wiring, recep tacle, plug, and circuit breaker can handle the current draw of the machine. If you are not sure that your electrical circuit can han dle the current draw, get a qualified electri cian to test your electrical system and do any required upgrades. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by only replac ing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage draw than the wiring, receptacle, and plug are rated for.

The Model G0528 power switch (page 16, Figure

13) is designed to accept 2-prong DOUBLE

INSULATED plugs or 3-prong grounding type plugs. The power switch provides the conve nience of switching power to the router at the front of the router table instead of having to reach under the table and locate the switch. The power switch also allows multiple devices such as lights or vacuums to be powered when the router is turned ON.

Electrical

The power switch plugs into a wall outlet that is properly grounded as shown in Figure 1
