| General Safety ||
*Unplug before making any adjustments
*There are 3 places that the electrical supply to the router can be switched from
#The wall socket - This is your main safety method, unplug when adjusting!
#The push switch on the front of the tale - This is the main way to control the router in normal use
#The red switch on the router it's self - This is only for changing bits
*Handle router bits with care, they can be extremely sharp
*Examine your work piece before routing it, defects and knots in the wood are likely to result in more difficult cutting and increased risk of material breakage when they meet the cutter. It will be necessary to either avoid them or cut much more slowly and carefully when going through them.
Line 50 ⟶ 54:
*Keep hands away from the rotating bit! Pay attention to where your hands are in relation to the bit when feeding material, use push-sticks and the combs if needed. Remember that the router has been known to fling work away from the cutter or cause it to break so consider how you're pushing on the work and where your hands will wind up if the work suddenly moves or breaks.
*Never start the router while the cutter is touching the work piece
*The cutter must always approach from the side of the work piece, never the center as it's likely to catch and get flung around. If you need to start in the center then consider if you can drill a hole for the bit to start
*Do not handle cutters immediately after use - they become very hot
*Only use router cutters designed for woodwork, suitable for use between 8,000 and 20,000rpm

FITTING A COLLET AND ROUTER BIT
#Ensure the power switch is OFF and the router disconnected from mains
#Ensure the retracting shutter is
#Check the depth stop lock knob (11) is fully retracted and release the Plunge Lock Lever (7)
#Plunge the router to its maximum depth (raise the spindle all the way) using the micro winder (8) and engage the plunge lock lever (7) [[File:LabeledRouterFront.jpg|thumb|200px|]]
#Rotate the spindle (careful not to cut yourself on the bit) to engage the spindle lock
#Remove the green circle and use the spanner to loosen and remove the collet (5)
#Check that the collet in the router head is suitably sized for the new bit and change if needed. Be especially careful not to confuse 1/4"(6.35mm) with 6mm collets, or 1/2"(12.7mm) with 12mm collets.
#Insert the new router bit into the collet (5) with a small gap from the painted section make sure it's not too far out as this will make it unstable, then use the spanner to tighten the collet (5) so that it holds the bit firmly [[File:RouterBitPlacement.jpg|thumb]]
#Disengage the plunge lock lever (7).
#Check once again that power is off and turn the switch(3) back on
