GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Read and understand the tool manual and
these instructions for the use of the table
with your tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in serious personal
injury.
Fully assemble and tighten all the fasteners
required for the table and mounting the tool.
Do not use the router table until all assembly
and installation steps have been completed.
Also remember to occasionally check the
stand and tool to make sure it is still tight. A
loose stand is unstable and may shift in use and
cause serious injury.
Make certain the tool is not plugged into a
power outlet when installing into the table,
making adjustments or changing bits.
Accidental start-up of the tool can cause injury.
Do not plug router motor power cord into
standard wall outlet instead it must be
plugged into the router table switch. Power
tool switches and controls need to be within
your reach in emergency situations.
Additional Safety Warnings
Safety Rules for Router Table
-4-
Some dust created by power
W RNING
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
Before operating make sure the entire unit is
placed on a solid, flat, level surface. Serious
injury could occur if table with the tool is
unstable and tips.
Be certain router motor is fully and securely
clamped in the router base, periodically
check the base fastener or clamping
tightness. Adjustment devices must be
securely tightened. Tighten as necessary as the
tool can loosen from the base due to vibration
and may drop or fall unexpectedly when
positioned upside down in a table.
Do not use the router table without the
overhead guard or auxiliary bit guard. The
guards will aid in keeping your hands away from
the bit in case of unintended contact with bit.
Never place your fingers under the guard or
near the spinning bit. 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 your hand back
into the bit.
