SECTION 1: HEALTH WARNING AND SAFETY
HEALTH WARNING
Sanding, sawing, routing, drilling, and other activities may create airborne dust particles containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and other health complications. For example: lead from paints, crystalline silica in masonry products like brick and cement, arsenic and chromium from treated lumber.
Level of risk varies depending on frequency of exposure. To help mitigate detrimental effects, always work in an area with adequate ventilation using approved safety equipment, such as dust masks specifically rated to filter out microscopic particles.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH
POWER TOOLS
Make sure all guards are properly positioned and working correctly.
Be sure that all adjusting wrenches and keys have been removed prior to turning on your machine.
Maintain a clean work area. Clutter can lead to unsafe conditions and accidents.
Only use power tools in a safe environment. Never operate in damp conditions or in unventilated areas where noxious or flammable fumes may collect. Always work in a well-lighted area.
All visitors and children should be kept away from the work area.
Childproof your work area using locks, master switches, remove starter keys, and other devices.
Don’t force a tool beyond its capabilities. Use a tool for the job in which it was
designed and do not exceed the proper rate of use.
Wear proper clothing. NEVER wear dangling or loose clothing, necklaces, bracelets, neckties, or other articles that could be caught in moving parts. Likewise, cover long hair. Non-slip footwear also increases safety.

Wear safety glasses and face or dust mask. Remember: eyeglasses do NOT provide the same protection as safety glasses.
Extension Cord Safety: Extension cord should be in good condition and meet the minimum wire gauge requirements listed below:
LENGTH AMP RATING
25ft
50ft
100ft 0-61616
16 7-10
161614 11-12
161614 13-16
141212 17-20
121210 21-30
1010No
WIRE GAUGE
An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.
Secure Your Work. When possible, use a clamp or a vise for added safety. This keeps both hands free to operate your tool more securely.
Never Over-Reach. Proper footing and balance must be kept at all times to avoid a dangerous fall.
Keep Your Tools Well-Cared For. Tools that are kept sharp and clean work best and safest. Lubricate tools and change out accessories as instructed by the tool manual.
Use Approved Accessories Only. Using accessories other than those recommended in the Owner's Manual can cause damage and injury.
Avoid Unintentional Starts. To reduce the risk of accidental starts, machinery should ALWAYS be unplugged prior to making adjustments or performing service. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before reconnecting the power.
Inspect Damaged Parts. Any damaged parts must be thoroughly inspected before continued use to ensure proper functioning. Pay close attention to alignment and binding of moving parts, breakage, mounting and other potentially problematic conditions. Promptly repair and replace any damaged parts.

Shut Off Your Tool Before Leaving. A running tool should NEVER be left unattended. Wait for the machine to come to a COMPLETE stop before leaving.
Stay Alert! Machinery should not be used without full mental alertness. For example, never use machinery while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If you have a problem, stop using the tool immediately and contact service for further instructions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTER TABLE USE
Keep your hands safe.
Do not place hands in front of or over the cutter. As your hand moves toward the cutter, you should arc it away toward the out feed side and then place it back behind the cutter.
Use Long Enough Stock to Keep Hands from Blades
. Special jigs or fixtures, such as a Safety Small Parts Holder, should always be used when routing stock less than 12 inches. If you can, rout stock before cutting and then cut to size.
Keep the cutters below the workpiece whenever practical for added safety.
Check Rotation First.
Whenever you adjust your set-up, remove the machine from the power supply and rotate the collet by hand to ensure that the cutters can spin freely before starting the machine.
If not using the full depth of the cutter be sure to keep any excess cutting height below the table surface.
Watch your depth of cut.
Removing too much material is dangerous and makes a rougher cut. Using multiple light passes enhances safety and improves the quality of the finished cut.
Stop when You Encounter Difficulty.
Any time you have a problem; you should stop work immediately and contact service or check with a qualified expert for additional instruction.
Choose the Right Safety Tools.
Often, push sticks are helpful safety devices. However, they can also be dangerous. If a push stick touches a cutter on the end grain, it can be forcefully ejected from your hand, causing possible serious injury. Fixtures, jigs, and hold-downs are often better options. Always use a guard or protective device of some sort.
