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 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 material to kick back.
The router table is primarily designed to cut
flat, straight and squared materials, we do
not recommend cutting material that is
warped, wobbly or otherwise unstable. If
the material is slightly curved 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 and may
lead to loss of control during operation.

Use push sticks and other jigs to hold
down the workpiece and keep your hands
away from the spinning blade. 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 work, the fence and adjustable
support wedge 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.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after 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.
Use only Dremel replacement parts and
accessories. Any others may create a hazard.
If you own a Type II or Type III rotary tool,
call Dremel Customer Service and request a
free housing cap #2610913684 to adapt your
tool. T1, T5 and T6 rotary tools may be used
with their standard housing cap.
