h) ALWAYS use guards, fences, horizontal and vertical
featherboards etc., to guide the workpiece, counteract and
avoid kickback, especially when routing small or narrow
workpieces. Vertical featherboards attached to the fence also
help prevent uncontrolled lift-up of the workpiece.
i) ALWAYS remove ALL loose objects from the table before
operating. Vibrations may cause loose objects to move and
come into contact with the cutter.
j) NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the
cutter with your hands, whilst the router bit is spinning.
ALWAYS switch the router off, disconnect the machine from the
power supply, and wait until the cutter has come to a standstill.
ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when touching the cutter, to avoid
injury.
k) ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples and
other metal objects and foreign bodies. If the router cutter
hits a concealed nail, the bit may be destroyed, high-velocity
projectiles may be produced, kickback can occur, all of which can
lead to serious injury.
l) WHEREVER possible, use blind cutting techniques,
where the router bit does not protrude from underneath
the workpiece. Keeping the cutter on the underside of the
workpiece provides additional operator protection.
m) ONLY expose the smallest possible part of the cutter above
the table surface. Keep any unused portion of the cutter below
the table surface.
n) ALWAYS test any new setup by rotating the spindle by
hand, with the machine disconnected from the power
supply. Ensure proper cutter clearance to the throat place, fence
and guard, before starting the machine.
o) ALWAYS use suitable throat plates, providing optimum
clearance around the router bit.
p) ALWAYS use the router cutter guard, and adjust the guard
to cover as much of the router bit as possible, as close to the
workpiece as possible. This not only protects the user from
accessing the revolving router cutter, it also provides effective
dust extraction.
q) LIMIT the depth of cut; NEVER remove too much material in
one pass. Several passes with at smaller cutting depth are safer,
and produce a better surface finish.
r) ENSURE to adjust the router cutter speed, according to
router cutter diameter and material being cut. Use the
speed selection dial on the plunge router.
s) ALWAYS feed AGAINST the rotation of the cutter. Both feed
direction and rotation are indicated by arrows on the router table
surface.
t) ALWAYS use the fence if using a cutter without bearing or
pilot. ALWAYS support the workpiece firmly against the fence.
NEVER remove the retractable guards on the fence. ALWAYS use
a cutter with bearing or pilot for freehand work.
Additional safety information
• ONLY use router cutters in perfect working condition
compatible with the specification of the router table and which
are suitable for hand feeding operation (marked 'MAN' for
manual operation according to EN 847-1).
• The bit must not enter the workpiece in the same direction as
the feed direction, which is likely to cause the workpiece to
climb (climb cutting) and may lead to loss of control during
operation with the workpiece pulled away from the operator in
a hazardous way.
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen router cutters unless you
specifically follow the manufacturer's instructions and have
the equipment to do so. The majority of router cutters have
blades that cannot be re-sharpened and must be replaced
immediately if dull.
• Do not create fence traps caused by improper fence location.
Fence traps happen when the fence is positioned so far back
that the front side of the workpiece would be behind the router
cutter. These are dangerous due to to the risk of climb cutting
and the difficulty of keeping the workpiece against the fence.
• Ensure the correct table insert (table ring) is fitted that is the
correct size for the size of the router cutter fitted.
• Never use a router table until fully assembled and always
re-check fasteners after re-assembly after storage.
• Make certain the router is not plugged into the power outlet
when installing into the table or when making adjustments or
changing accessories.
• DO NOT plug the router into a standard mains wall socket. It
must be plugged into the router table switch box so can be
switched off in emergency situations.
• The router table must be installed on a solid level surface and
secured so the table will not tip. Use of auxiliary in-feed and
out-feed supports is necessary for long or wide workpieces.
Long workpieces without adequate support could cause the
table to tip towards the operator causing injury.
• Routers create a lot of vibration and can work loose from their
mountings. Check the mountings frequently and re-tighten if
necessary.
• Never start the tool with the router cutter already engaged in
the workpiece. This can lead to a lack of control and possible
injury.
• The router table is designed to cut flat, straight and squared
material only. Do not cut material that is warped, uneven, weak
or made from inconsistent material. If necessary, make sure
material is correctly prepared before use. Incorrect material can
lead to a lack of control and possible injury.
WARNING: Unmaintained tools can cause uncontrolled
situations. ONLY use router cutters that are correctly sharpened,
maintained and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: Seek professional training and assistance before attempting
work that require procedures you are not familiar with. STOP using
the router table, if, at any point during operation, you encounter
difficulties or are uncertain how to proceed safely.
