Safety Tips:

Dust and chips generated when routing laminate and composite materials can be hazardous to your health and safety. Always wear appropriate eye protection and a properly rated dust mask or respirator when routing.

Safety Precautions:

• Never use router bits that are damaged, cracked, excessively worn, or otherwise compromised.
• Always operate the router bit at the manufacturer's recommended speed and feed rate.
• Do not force the bit through the material. Allow the cutting edges to do the work.
• Use particular care when making the initial cut, especially when working with smaller-diameter bits.
• Ensure the bit is properly secured in the router collet before operation.
