Disabling Switch
The switch can be disabled by removing the key,
as shown below. Disabling the switch in this man-
ner can prevent unauthorized operation of the
machine, which is important if it is not kept inside
an access-restricted building or in a location
where children may be present.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the switch only restricts
its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting
machine from power when adjusting or servicing.

Children or untrained people can be
seriously injured by this machine. This
risk increases with unsupervised operation.
To help prevent unsupervised operation,
always disable switch before leaving
machine unattended. Make sure to place
key in a well-hidden or secure location!

Stock Inspection
Requirements
Always follow these rules when choosing and
routing stock:
•
DO NOT cut stock that contains large or
loose knots. Injury to the operator or dam-
age to the workpiece can occur if a knot
becomes dislodged during the cutting opera-
tion.
DO NOT cut against the grain direction.
•
Cutting against the grain increases the like-
lihood of kickback, as well as tearout on the
workpiece.
Routing with the grain produces a better
•
finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting
with the grain is described as feeding the
stock on the router table so the grain points
down and toward you as viewed on the edge
of the stock (see Figure below).
Note: If the grain changes direction along the
edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth
and make additional passes.

Only process natural and man-made wood
•
products. Your router is designed to cut
only natural wood fiber products. It is NOT
designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile,
products with lead-based paint, or products
that contain asbestos. Cutting these materi-
als with a router may lead to injury.
