Be certain router motor is fully and securely
clamped in the router base, periodically
check the base fastener or clamping
tightness. Adjustment devices must be
securely tightened. Tighten as necessary as the
tool can loosen from the base due to vibration
and may drop or fall unexpectedly when
positioned upside down in a table.
Do not use the router table without the
overhead guard or auxiliary bit guard. The
guards will aid in keeping your hands away from
the bit in case of unintended contact with bit.
Never place your fingers under the guard or
near the spinning bit. Never hold the
workpiece on the out-feed side of bit.
Pressing the workpiece against the out-feed
side of the fence may cause material binding
and possible kickback pulling your hand back
into the bit.
Router bits are intended for wood, woodlike
products and plastic e.g. Corian or
laminates. Not for cutting or shaping metals.
Be sure the workpiece does not contain
nails, etc. before routing. Cutting a nail or the
like will cause the carbides to be dislodged, fly
toward the operator side, and possibly strike
you or bystanders.
Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that have a
cutting diameter that exceeds the capacity
of the tool. Overloading the tool can lead to
personal injury or tool failure.
Position and securely clamp the router bit in
the collet chuck before making any cuts. If
the bit becomes loose during operation it may
fly up and away from table possibly striking you
or bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits can
snap during use. Dull bits require more force to
push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to
break or the material to kickback.
We do not recommend cutting material that
is warped, wobbly or otherwise unstable. If
the material is slightly curved but otherwise
stable cut the material with the concave side
against the table or fence. Cutting the material
with the concave side up or away from table
may cause the warped or wobbly material to
roll; causing you to lose control, kickback and
serious personal injury may result.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
workpiece.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation of
the bit. The bit rotates counter-clockwise as
viewed from the top of table. Feeding the work
in the wrong direction will cause the workpiece
to "climb" up on the bit pulling the workpiece
and possibly your hands into the rotating bit.
Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally
mounted feather boards (spring sticks) and
other jigs to hold down the workpiece and
keep your hands away from the spinning bit.
Router cuts are blind cuts but the bit still
protrudes through the table and you must be
aware of the position of your hands relative to
the spinning bit.
Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed
supports is strongly suggested for long or
wide workpieces. Long workpieces can flip off
the table or cause the table to tip over if not fully
supported.
Use the adjustable fence in straight cutting
applications. When routing along an entire
edge of the workpiece the fence will help
maintain stability.
Do not place material between router bit and
the fence while routing the edge. This
placement may cause the material to become
wedged making kickback possible.
Piloted bits along with the starter pin are
used when routing internal and external
contours on the workpiece. Use the auxiliary
bit guard when shaping material with the
starter pin and piloted bits. The starter pin
and bearing of the piloted bit assist in
maintaining control of the workpiece.
Do not place material between piloted router
bit and starter pin while shaping contours.
This placement will cause the material to
become wedged making kickback possible.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. Contact with a spinning bit will
cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Do not use the table as workbench or
worksurface. The table is not intended to be
used as a workbench or work surface other
than for routing material. Using it for purposes
other than routing may cause damage and
make it unsafe to use in routing.
Never stand on the table or use as ladder or
scaffolding. Serious injury could occur if the
table is tipped or the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted. Do not store materials on or near the
table such that it is necessary to stand on the
table or its stand to reach them.
