during start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
When routing or cutting, the direction of
feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the
material is very important. Always feed
the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material. When viewing the tool
from the top, the bit rotates clockwise. If the
tool is between the workpiece and you body,
then feed the tool to your right. If the
workpiece is between the tool and your body,
then feed the tool to your left. Feeding the
tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting
edge of the bit to climb out of the work and
pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

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 tool, possibly causing
the bit to break.

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.
