Safety

• Always make sure the guide rail is properly supported along its full length before cutting or routing.

• Keep hands clear of the cutting or routing path at all times.
• Use suitable eye, ear and dust protection when cutting or routing.
• Use the correct blade, router bit or accessory for the material being worked.
• Do not force the tool along the rail; guide it steadily and allow the cutter or blade to do the work.

• Inspect the splinterguard and grip strips regularly and replace them when worn or damaged.
• Store the long guide rail carefully to avoid bending, twisting or damage to the working edge.
