6) Additional Safety Rules for the Precision Benchtop Router Table
a)

Keep hands away from the rotating bit when using the router

table.

Always use the bit guard. Use push sticks and push blocks

when routing narrow workpieces.

b)

Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could

cause contact with the rotating bit. Never overreach.

c)

Make sure the bit is clear of the workpiece and comes to a

complete stop before adjusting the workpiece position.

d)

Place the router table on a fl at, sturdy surface to prevent

tipping or sliding. Never stand on the router table.

e)

Avoid kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds

while being routed, causing it to twist, jump, and possibly

become

airborne. To avoid kick-backs and potential injury, never

trap a workpiece between the bit and the fence, use sharp bits, keep

the machine aligned and maintained properly, and adequately support

the

workpiece.

f)

Feed the workpiece against (not with) the bit rotation. The bit

can grab a workpiece fed with the rotation of the bit and cause your

hand to contact the bit.

g)

Always support the workpiece with the fence or starter pin.

Only use the starter pin with router bits that have a guide bearing.

h)

Disconnect the router from power before making adjustments.

Never adjust the fence, plate, reducing rings, or any part of the router

or router table while the router is running.

i)

This router table is designed for a specifi c application.

Do not modify and/or use it for any other application. If you

have questions relative to the application of the machine, DO NOT

use it until you have contacted Kreg Tool Company and have been

advised

accordingly.

Guidelines for extension cord use
Extension cords are only to be used for temporary purposes. They do
not replace the need for installation of outlets and proper wiring where
necessary.

In the shop and on construction sites:
1. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor must be used at
all

times.

2. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not run through
doorways or windows where the doors or windows may close, causing
damage to the cord.
3. Extension cords should be a minimum of 16 AWG and be rated for the
equipment in use.
4. Extension cords must be periodically inspected to ensure that the
insulation and conductivity of the wires are not compromised.
5. Extension cords should not be run through water or allowed to have
connections that may be exposed to accumulated water.

WARNING!

Dust created by sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities may contain chemicals known to the

c) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals depends on how often you do
