WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions provided with
your Power Unit (BDCDMT112, BDCDMT120, or BDEDMT) before using
this attachment. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the tool.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason.
Keep the router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting. Hold the router
only by identified gripping surfaces as identified in this manual (see Using the Router).
These precautions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned router bit, causing an
uncontrolled router to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
• Keep your body positioned parallel to the direction of the cut, not behind the direction
of the cut. KICKBACK could cause the router to jump opposite the direction of the cut.
• Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the router to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the router down. If the
cutter head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.
• Be sure that the router bit is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is in contact
with the workpiece when the motor starts it could make the router jump, causing damage or injury.
• Only use router bits with a shank diameter of 1/4".
• Only use router bits rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
• Do not use router bits with a diameter greater than 1-3/8" (35mm). Use of larger than
recommended bits can result in a hazard.
• Not intended to be used with a router table. Do not use the tool in an inverted position.
• Do not attempt to use the tool in a stationary mode.
• Make sure collet nut is securely tightened to prevent router bit from slipping during use.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
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 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA approved
