Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. SAFETy Service Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Router Safety Warnings SETUp OpERATION 1. 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. 2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. 3. Let bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically while in use, and can burn you. 4. DO NOT OpERATE WITH THE BASE OR ANy OTHER GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Any moving guards must move freely and close instantly. 5. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 6. Avoid unintentional starting.

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should: • Avoid operating alone. • Do not use with Trigger locked on. • Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. • Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented - it prevents sustained electrical shock. 13. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and 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 or other masonry products • 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. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 14. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 15. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
