Throughout this manual, we list WARN-
INGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES. We advise
that when you come to one of these listings,
please read and understand it fully. Their
meanings are:
WARNING
A WARNING is given when failure to
follow the directions is likely to result
in injury, loss of limb, or life.
CAUTION
A CAUTION is given when failure to fol-
low the directions is likely to result in
damage to the equipment.
NOTE
A NOTE is used to highlight an important
procedure, practice or condition.
EYE PROTECTION
Always wear eye protection when you use
power tools. Use goggles, safety glasses or a
face shield to protect your eyes.
• Goggles completely surround and protect
your eyes. Many goggles will also fit over
regular glasses. Be sure your goggles fit
closely, but comfortably.
• Safety glasses don’t fog as easily as
goggles and can be worn all the time.
Regular glasses normally have only im-
pact resistant lenses. They are not safety
glasses.
• A face shield protects your entire face, not
just your eyes.
HEARING PROTECTION
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
from high speed power tools will damage
your hearing.
• Hearing protectors screen out certain fre-
quencies and noise levels that can dam-
age your hearing. For that reason, we
recommend that you ALWAYS wear hear-
ing protection when using your Overarm
Pin Router.
GUARDING FOR ROUTING
Most shop accidents happen to woodwork-
ers who fail to follow instructions, or fail to
use guards and safety devices. Although
proper use of guards and safety devices of-
ten requires additional setup, the protection
for you and your family is well worth the
effort.
DRESS
Loose hair and clothing which could be en-
tangled in rotating bits are very hazardous.
• Tuck long hair under a hat or tie it up. Do
not wear ties, gloves, loose clothing, rings
or other jewelry. Roll sleeves up above
your elbows.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Follow the electrical requirements that ap-
pear in the Owners Manual that came with
your router. Do not overload your electrical
circuits.
