base. Cutting bits that have cutter diameters
larger than the opening could cause possible
loss of control or create other hazardous con-
dition that could cause serious personal injury.
• The sub-base on this router has an opening of
1-1/4 inch. To use cutting bits with a larger di-
ameter, install and use a sub-base with a larger
diameter opening (sold separately).
• Do not use large router cutting bits for free-
hand routing. Use of large cutting bits when
freehand routing could cause loss of control or
create hazardous conditions that could result in
serious personal injury. If using a router table,
large bits should be used for edging only.
• Be sure the cutting bit is centered.
• Do not remove more than 1/8 inch in a single
pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of
control that could result in personal injury.
• Turn the router motor OFF after completing a
cut, and let it come to a complete stop before
removing the router from work piece.
• Let the router motor come to a complete stop
before putting the router down. Cutting bits
coast after the power is turned off.
• Only use router tables that conform to safe
wood working practices and offer proper
guarding for the cutting bit. Use router tables
that are UL classified and identified as suitable
for use with this specific router model. Failure
to comply could result in serious personal injury.
• Only use router tables with on-board, switch-
controlled receptacles. Failure to use router
tables with all the appropriate safety features
could result in serious personal injury.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments or changing cut-
ting bits.
• Be careful not to touch the collet/nut or cut-
ting bit with your hands or fingers if you are
changing a bit immediately after use. The heat
buildup from cutting could cause severe burns.
Always use the wrench provided.
• Avoid "climb cutting." See the Operation sec-
tion In this manual. "Climb cutting" increases
the chance for Ioss of control resulting in pos-
sible serious injury.
