h) ALWAYS use guards, fences, horizontal and vertical featherboards
etc., to guide the workpiece, counteract and avoid kickback, especially
when routing small or narrow workpieces. Vertical featherboards attached
to the fence also help prevent uncontrolled lift-up of the workpiece.
i) ALWAYS remove ALL loose objects from the table before operating.
Vibrations may cause loose objects to move and come into contact with the
cutter.
NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the cutter with
j)
your hands, whilst the router bit is spinning. ALWAYS switch the router off,
disconnect the machine from the power supply, and wait until the cutter has
come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when touching the cutter, to
avoid injury.
k) ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples and other metal objects
and foreign bodies. If the router cutter hits a concealed nail, the bit may be
destroyed, high-velocity projectiles may be produced, kickback can occur, all
of which can lead to serious injury.
l) WHEREVER possible, use blind cutting techniques, where the router bit
does not protrude from underneath the workpiece. Keeping the cutter on
the underside of the workpiece provides additional operator protection.
m) ONLY expose the smallest possible part of the cutter above the table
surface. Keep any unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.
n) ALWAYS test any new setup by rotating the spindle by hand, with the
machine disconnected from the power supply. Ensure proper cutter
clearance to the throat place, fence and guard, before starting the machine.
o) ALWAYS use suitable throat plates, providing optimum clearance around
the router bit.
p) ALWAYS use the router cutter guard, and adjust the guard to cover as much
of the router bit as possible, as close to the workpiece as possible. This not
only protects the user from accessing the revolving router cutter, it also
provides effective dust extraction
q) LIMIT the depth of cut; NEVER remove too much material in one pass.
Several passes with at smaller cutting depth are safer, and produce a better
surface finish.
r) ENSURE to adjust the router cutter speed, according to router cutter
diameter and material being cut. Use the speed selection dial on the plunge
router.
s) ALWAYS feed AGAINST the rotation of the cutter. Both feed direction and
rotation are indicated by arrows on the router table surface.
t) ALWAYS use the fence if using a cutter without bearing or pilot. ALWAYS
support the workpiece firmly against the fence. NEVER remove the retractable
guards on the fence. ALWAYS use a cutter with bearing or pilot for freehand
work.
Additional safety information
• ONLY use router cutters in perfect working condition compatible with the
specification of the router table and which are suitable for hand feeding
operation (marked 'MAN' for manual operation according to EN 847-1)
• The bit must not enter the workpiece in the same direction as the feed
direction, which is likely to cause the workpiece to climb (climb cutting) and
may lead to loss of control during operation with the workpiece pulled away
from the operator in a hazardous way
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen router cutters unless you specifically follow the
manufacturer's instructions and have the equipment to do so. The majority of
router cutters have blades that cannot be re-sharpened and must be replaced
immediately if dull
• Do not create fence traps caused by improper fence location. Fence traps
happen when the fence is positioned so far back that the front side of the
workpiece would be behind the router cutter. These are dangerous due to
the risk of climb cutting and the difficulty of keeping the workpiece against
the fence
• Ensure the correct table insert (table ring) is fitted that is the correct size for
the size of the router cutter fitted
• Never use a router table until fully assembled and always re-check fasteners
after re-assembly after storage
• Make certain the router is not plugged into the power outlet when installing
into the table or when making adjustments or changing accessories
• DO NOT plug the router into a standard mains wall socket. It must be
plugged into the router table switch box so can be switched off in emergency
situations
• The router table must be installed on a solid level surface and secured so the
table will not tip. Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed supports is necessary
for long or wide workpieces. Long workpieces without adequate support could
cause the table to tip towards the operator causing injury

• Routers create a lot of vibration and can work loose from their mountings.
Check the mountings frequently and re-tighten if necessary
• Never start the tool with the router cutter already engaged in the workpiece.
This can lead to a lack of control and possible injury
• The router table is designed to cut flat, straight and squared material only.
Do not cut material that is warped, uneven, weak or made from inconsistent
material. If necessary make sure material is correctly prepared before use.
Incorrect material can lead to a lack of control and possible injury
WARNING: Unmaintained tools can cause uncontrolled situations. ONLY use
router cutters that are correctly sharpened, maintained and adjusted in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: Seek professional training and assistance before attempting work that
require procedures you are not familiar with. STOP using the router table, if, at
any point during operation, you encounter difficulties or are uncertain how to
proceed safely.
