Standing on the tool to reach materials couldresult in serious injury if it tips or is accidentallycontacted.

SPECIAL SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTER TABLES

WARNING! Do not use or plug in your router table until itis completely assembled and installed according to theinstructions. Read and understand the following operatinginstructions and safety warnings in the manual and on therouter table.

Before Operating Your Router Table● Fully assemble and tighten all fasteners required for

this table. Do not use the router table until it is fullyassembled. Check the table and the router to makesure fasteners are still tight before each use.

● Make sure the router table is secured to a solid, flatand level surface, and will not tip during use.

● Make sure the router is not plugged into a poweroutlet when installing it on the table, makingadjustments, or changing accessories. The routercould start accidentally.

● Make sure the router is fully and securely attachedto the router table. Periodically check connectionsfor tightness. The router motor can vibrate looseduring use and fall from table.

● Do not use the router dust collecting attachmentwhen installing the router on the router table.

Avoid contact with rotating equipment● Do not use the router table without the guard. The

guard aids in keeping hands from unintendedcontact with the rotating bit.

● Never place your fingers near a spinning bit orunder the guard when the router is plugged in.Never hold the workpiece on the out-feed side of abit. Pressing the workpiece against the out-feedside may cause material binding and possiblekickback.

When Operating Your Router Table● Ensure the collet, with the bit fully installed, is

thoroughly tightened before operating the router.● Use the router to cut and shape wood, wood-like

products, and plastic or laminates. Do not cut orshape metals. Make sure each workpiece is free ofnails or other obstructions.

● Install the bit according to the instructions in therouter manual. Make sure the bit is securely seatedin the collet chuck before making any cuts. Do notuse bits that have a cutting diameter that exceedsthe clearance hole in the table insert or router subbase.

● Do not use dull or damaged bits. Dull bits maycause the bit to break or the material to kick back.Damaged bits can snap during use.

● Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in thematerial. The cutting edge may grab the materialand cause you to lose control of the workpiece.

● Use the router table to cut flat, straight, andsquared materials. Do not cut warped, wobbly, orotherwise unstable material. If the material isslightly curved but otherwise stable, cut the materialwith the concave side against the table or fence.Cutting the material with the concave side up oraway from the table may cause warped material toroll and kick back.

● Feed the material against the rotation of the bit. Thebit rotates counter-clockwise as viewed from the topof the table. Feeding the work in the wrong directionwill cause the workpiece to “climb” up on the bitpulling the workpiece and possibly your hands intothe rotating bit.

● Guide the workpiece by the fence to maintaincontrol. Do not place material between the router bitand fence while routing the edge. This will causethe material to become wedged, making kickbackpossible.

● Use push sticks, vertical- and horizontally-mountedfeather boards (spring sticks), and other jigs to holddown the workpiece. Push sticks, feather boardsand jigs eliminate the need to hold the workpiecenear the spinning bit.

● Do not use the table as a workbench or worksurface. Using it for purposes other than routingmay cause damage and make it unsafe to use forrouting. Do not stand on the table.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!• Use only manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts, or

equivalent, when servicing this tool.• Do not touch the metal blades on the power cord plug when

removing or installing the plug into an electrical outlet.• To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool,

use proper circuit protection.This tool is wired at the factory for 120V operation.Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp time delayed fuse orcircuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace powercord immediately if it is worn, cut, or damaged in anyway.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools.This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire andshould be protected with a 15 Amp time delayedfuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,make sure the switch is in the OFF position and theelectric current is rated the same as the currentstamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lowervoltage will damage the motor.

DO NOT modify thepower cord plug. If itdoes not match theelectrical outlet, have theproper outlet installed by aqualified electrician.

This tool has a plug thatlooks like the one shownin Fig. A.

This tool is double insulated to provide a doublethickness of insulation between you and the tool’selectrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolatedfrom the internal metal motor components withprotective insulation.

WARNING! Double insulation does not take the place ofnormal safety precautions when operating this tool.

WARNING! This tool is for indoor use only. Do notexpose to rain or use in damp locations.

Guidelines for Extension Cords

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle inquestion is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have acertified electrician check the receptacle.

Use proper extension cord. Make sure yourextension cord is in good condition. When using anextension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough tocarry the current your product will draw. An undersizedcord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in lossof power and cause overheating. The table belowshows the correct size to use depending on cordlength and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, usethe next heavier gauge. The smaller the gaugenumber, the heavier the cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired.Always replace a damaged extension cord or have itrepaired by a qualified person before using it. Protectyour extension cords from sharp objects, excessiveheat, and damp or wet areas.

WARNING! Although this tool is double insulated, theextension cord and receptacle must still be grounded while inuse to protect the operator from electrical shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,grounding provides the path of least resistance forelectric current and reduces the risk of electric shock.This tool is equipped with an electric cord which hasan equipment grounding conductor and a groundingplug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matchingreceptacle that is properly installed and grounded inaccordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment groundingconductor can result in risk of electric shock. Theconductor with the green insulation (with or withoutyellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor.If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug isnecessary, DO NOT connect the equipment groundingconductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnelif you do not completely understand the groundinginstructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properlygrounded.
