ALWAYS use hold-downs or featherboards
and push sticks when shaping small or nar-
row stock. These devices keep your hands
away from the spinning cutter and sufficient-
ly support the stock to allow a safe and effec-
tive cut, reducing the risk of personal injury.

Free-Hand Routing
Free-hand or irregular
routing greatly increases
the chance that the opera-
tor may lose control of the
workpiece. Therefore, a
pivot point MUST be used
to control the workpiece
while free-hand routing.
Loss of control of the
workpiece could result in
serious personal injury.
