SAFETY GUIDELINES
· WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
· Woodworking machines are dangerous, and can cause personal injury
if not used properly.
· Read safety instructions and operating instructions for your machine
completely, before using products. Using this system before
understanding its safe and proper use could result in serious injury
to the operator.
· Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
· For your own safety, read instruction manual before operating the tool.
Learn the tools application and limitations as well as the specific hazards
distinctive to it.
· Keep all guards and safety devices in proper place while using
these products.
· Always wear safety glasses.
· Keep hands well away from the rotating bit when operating machine.
· Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause contact
with the rotating bit.
· This system was designed for certain applications only. Kreg strongly
recommends that this system NOT be modified and/or used for any
application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions
relative to its application, DO NOT use the tool until you have written,
phoned, or e-mailed Kreg Tool and have been advised accordingly.
· Be aware of kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds-up
while being routed, causing it to twist, jump, and possibly become airborne.
To avoid kickbacks (and potential injury) always use sharp bits, keep the
machine aligned and maintained properly, and adequately secure/support
the workpiece.
· Turn machine off before adjusting. Never adjust the fence, plate level,
reducing rings, or any other part of the tool while the machine is running.
· Wait for the machine to stop. Make sure the router comes to a complete
stop before adjusting the workpiece or workpiece-angle.
· Ground electric machines. If your machine is equipped with a three-prong
plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle only. If the
proper outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualified electrician
before use. Never remove the third prong, and never modify the provided
plug in any way.
· Don’t operate in a dangerous or unclean environment. Don’t use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area
well-lit, un-cluttered, and clean.
· Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept
a safe distance from the work area, and should not operate the tool under
any condition.
· Make your workshop “child-proof”. Use padlocks, master switches, or any
other means necessary to make your work area safe for children.
· Use the right tool. Never ‘force’ the tool to do work for which it was not
intended. If used properly, the tool will produce better results in less time,
under safer conditions.
· Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or any other jewelry that could possibly get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is highly recommended, as is protective hair
covering. Remember to always use safety glasses, specifically designed
as safety wear.
· Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when it is
practical and safe. Using the proper tool may allow you to free both
hands for tool operation. Also, be sure to never overreach.
· Secure your tools. In the event of the machine tipping or sliding, it is
always recommended to secure your tools to the machine during use.
· Keep the proper footing and balance. Ensure that you are in no danger of
slipping or sliding once you turn the machine on. Once again, non-slip
footwear is highly recommended.
· Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp, clean, and properly
maintained for the highest quality and safest performance. Remember to
properly follow all lubrication and accessory maintenance practices, as
detailed in this Instruction Manual.
· Disconnect tool before servicing. When changing accessories such as
bits, clamps, etc., making any sort of physical assessment of the tool, or
when motor is being mounted/connected, remember to disconnect the
machine from its power source. This will reduce the possibility of
accidentally engaging the machine.
· Check for damaged parts. Before use of the tool, a careful assessment of
all guards and other parts should be made to ensure that it will operate
properly, and perform as intended. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced as soon as possible,
preceding any additional use. Do not use the tool if you are not qualified to
make these sorts of assessments.
· Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn the machine’s
power “OFF” after operation. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
· Drugs, alcohol, medication warning. Do not operate tool while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medications.
