Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, 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 engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
cutter.
Always hold the tool with two hands during
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
When routing or cutting, the direction of
feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the
material is very important. Always feed the
bit into the material in the same direction
as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material. When viewing the tool from the top,
the bit rotates clockwise. If the tool is between
the workpiece and your body, then feed the
tool to your right. If the workpiece is between
the tool and your body, then feed the tool to
your left. 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 the tool for drilling purposes.
This tool is not intended to be used with drill
bits.
Always use the tool with the depth guide
securely attached and positioned flat
against material being cut. The guide
securely positioned on the material improves
the stability and control of your tool.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known 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 and
other masonry products, and
• 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.
