SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING,
GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
· lead from lead-based paints,
· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
· 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 filter out microscopic particles.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
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 power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the
symbols listed below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these
sections.
SAFETY GUIDELINES / DEFINITIONS
Read Operator’s Manual. Do not operate equipment until you
have read Operator’s Manual for Safety
, Assembly, Opera-
tion, and Maintenance Instructions.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
907395 - 12-20-02.qxd 12/20/02 9:13 AM Page 2

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 qualified 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. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence
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. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
7. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with
ANSI S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with
MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.
TOOLS USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. 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.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
FOR ROUTERS
1. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOLS 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.
2. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT SECURELY to prevent the bit from slipping.
3. PROVIDE CLEARANCE under workpiece for router bit when through-
cutting.
4. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during operation.
5. CLEAR THE ROUTER BIT AREA before starting motor.
6. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP ON TOOL to resist starting torque.
7. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF BIT WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING to prevent
personal injury.
8. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the
tool down.
9. NEVER TOUCH ROUTER BITS AFTER USE. They may be extremely
hot.
