Safety Instructions for Cordless Routers
Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or
If cutting into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects. Cut-
ting into a nail can cause the bit and the tool
to jump and damage the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard sur-
faces, like concrete, stone, etc. Protruding
cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask.
Use only in well ventilated area. Using per-
sonal safety devices and working in safe en-
vironment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any ad-
justments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is en-
gaged in the material. The bit cutting edge
may grab the material causing loss of control
of the cutter.

against the body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates
to the direction of bit rotation. When view-
ing the tool from the top, the bit rotates
clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counter-clockwise.
NOTE: Inside and outside cuts will
require different feed direction, refer to
section on feeding the router. Feeding
the tool in the wrong direction, causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out
of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
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 tool, possibly causing the
bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor has
come to a complete standstill. The spinning
bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out
of your control.
Do not use Cutter diameter larger than
1-1/2". Using cutter larger than 1-1/2" may
result in personal injury.
Use only router bits that have shank diam-
eters that match the installed collet. Using
a router bit that has a smaller shank could
