Router Table Safety
The following Skil Router Models may be used with the
router insert: 1810, 1815, 1820
Read and understand table and router manual and
accessory warnings. Failure to follow all instructions and
warnings may result in serious personal injury.
Fully assemble and tighten all fasteners required for this
table and for mounting the router to the plate. Do not use
the router table until all assembly and installation steps
have been completed. Check the stand and the router to make
sure fasteners are still tight before each use. A loose stand is
unstable and may shift in use.
Make certain the router is not plugged into a power outlet
when installing into the table, removing from table, making
adjustments or changing accessories. Router could
accidentally start.
Do not plug router motor power cord into standard wall
outlet. It must be plugged into the accessory power outlet.
Power tool switches and controls need to be within your reach in
emergency situations.
Before operating make sure the entire unit (table with
router installed) is placed on and secured to a solid, flat,
level surface and will not tip. Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-
feed supports is necessary for long or wide workpieces. Long
workpieces without adequate support can flip off the table or
cause the table to tip over.
Be certain router motor is fully and securely clamped in the
router base. Periodically check the base fastener clamping
tightness. Router motor can vibrate loose from the base during
use and fall from table.
Do not use the router table without the overhead guard or
auxiliary bit guard. Remove all dust, chips, and any other
foreign particles that can affect its function. Adjust the guard
height so that it clears the router bit and the workpiece. The
guard will aid in keeping hands from unintended contact with
rotating bit.
Never place your fingers near a spinning bit or under the
guard when router is plugged in. Never hold the
workpiece on the out-feed side of bit. Pressing the
workpiece against the out-feed side of the fence may cause
material binding and possible kickback pulling hand back into
bit.
Guide workpiece by fence or pin to maintain control of
workpiece. Do not place material between router bit and
fence while routing the edge. This placement will cause
the material to become wedged. making kickback possible.
Routers are intended for working with wood, woodlike
products and plastic or laminates, not for cutting or
shaping metals. Be sure workpiece does not contain nails,
etc. Cutting nails may cause loss of control.
Do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that exceeds
clearance hole in table top insert. Bit could contact insert ring,
throwing fragments.
Install bit in accordance with instructions in router manual
and securely clamp the router bit in the collet chuck before
making any cuts to avoid bit becoming loose during
operation.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled
with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to
break or the material to kickback.
The router table is designed to cut flat, straight and
squared materials. Do not cut material that is warped,
wobbly or otherwise unstable. If the material is slightly curved
but otherwise stable, cut the material with the concave side
against the table or fence. Cutting the material with the concave
side up or away from table may cause the warped or wobbly
material to roll and kick back and cause user to lose control.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material.
The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the workpiece.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation of the bit. The bit
rotates counter-clockwise as viewed from the top of table.
Feeding the work in the wrong direction will cause the
workpiece to "climb" up on the bit, pulling the workpiece and
possibly your hands into the rotating bit.
Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally mounted feather
boards (spring sticks) and other jigs to hold down the
workpiece. Push sticks, feather boards and jigs eliminate the
need to hold the workpiece near the spinning bit.
Do not use the table as workbench or worksurface. Using it
for purposes other than routing may cause damage and make it
unsafe to use in routing.
Never stand on the table or use as ladder or scaffolding.
Table could tip or the cutting tool could be accidentally
contacted.
Sander Safety
The following Skil Sander Models may be used with the
sander insert: Models 7313 & 7500.
Read and understand the manual for the tool and these
instructions for the use of this accessory with the tool.
Failure to follow important safety instructions can result in
serious personal injury.
Wear eye and dust protection equipment. Use in a well
ventilated area to minimize airborne dust or attach to a
vacuum cleaner. Do not use for sanding materials like
transite, asbestos, paint or other hazardous materials that
could create injurious dust. Particles are expelled from
workpiece during sanding operations which can irritate eyes and
lungs possibly causing injury.
Always clamp or secure sander and fixture when bench
mounted. Always use edge stop or guide when sanding short
or small workpieces. Securely lock all adjustable parts so they
cannot loosen while sanding. Fingers or clothing can be
dragged into pulley and housing area.
Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental
start-ups may occur if sander is plugged in while changing an
accessory.
Avoid awkward hand positions where the belt could pull
workpiece and your fingers into the belt or pulleys. Keep
your fingers and clothing away from the belt. They could get
cut or wedged between the pulley, belt and motor housing.
Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid it overhanging the
housing. A running belt overhanging its housing can cause
severe lacerations. If belt frays, trim frayed ends to prevent
distraction.
Keep the cord to the side away from pulleys. The cord can
be dragged into belt housing and become entangled with the
pulleys.
Do not wet sand. Water entering a power tool could result in
electrical shock hazard.
Do not sand magnesium. Magnesium dust is highly
flammable.
