symbology
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac-
es, because the cutter may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
• Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
• Always wear safety goggles and dust mask.
Use only in a well ventilated area. Using per-
sonal safety devices and in a safe environment
reduce the risk for injury.
• Some woods contain preservatives that can be
toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and
skin contact when working with these materials.
Request, and follow, any safety information avail-
able from your material supplier.
• Always make sure the workpiece is free from
nails, screws and other foreign objects. Keep
the working edge away from the clamping
surface. Cutting these objects can cause loss
of control of the tool and damage to the bit.
• Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when using the
tool. Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding the
tool with both hands is safer.
• Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits can
break during use. Dull bits require more force to
push the tool, which could cause the bit to break.
Damaged bits can throw carbide pieces and burn
the workpiece.
• After changing the bit or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut and any
other adjustment devices are securely tight-
ened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpect-
edly shift, causing loss of control. Loose rotat-
ing components will be violently thrown. Watch
for vibration or wobbling that could indicate an
improperly installed bit.
• Maintain firm grip on router when starting
motor to resist starting torque.
• Always keep the power supply cord away from
moving parts on the tool. Keep the cord away
from the direction of the cut.
• Never start the tool when the bit is in contact
with the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the tool.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come
to a complete stop. The spinning bit can grab
the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
• Never touch the bit during or immediately after
use. After use the bit may be hot enough to burn
bare skin.
• Never clamp the workpiece to a hard surface,
such as concrete or stone. Contact with the bit
could cause the tool to jump and loss of control.
• Only operate the routers when held. Do not
clamp or secure the router to a surface and hold
the workpiece by hand.
• Never use bits larger than the smallest of the
openings in the base, sub-base, or dust collection
port.
• Do not loosen or remove the
plunge base caps. Internal
springs are under pressure.
If loosened or removed, the
plunge base caps and internal
springs will become projectiles,
which could cause injury.
• Maintain labels and name-
plates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or
missing, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for a free replacement.
• WARNING: 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 paint
• 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
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
* Also compatible with plunge base 48-10-5600,
