cause the bit to come loose during operation
and become a projectile.
Never operate router bits at speeds that
are higher than their maximum rated
speed. Router bits running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear
will further enhance your personal safety.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetra-
chloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic
parts.
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending 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.
