SKIL RT1323-00 10 Amp Fixed Base Corded Router Owner’s Manual

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better  
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing  
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving  
parts.  
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,  
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-  
related hazards.  
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent  
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction  
of a second.  
Power tool use and care  
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct  
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that  
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if  
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,  
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the  
power tool accidentally.  
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar  
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained power tools.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting  
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,  
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the  
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.  
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.  
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool  
in unexpected situations.  
Battery tool use and care  
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable  
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.  
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery  
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.  
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,  
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection  
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a  
fire.  
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If  
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek  
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.  
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified  
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.  
4
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or  
temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.  
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the  
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures  
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.  
Service  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical  
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed  
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.  
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS  
Cutting procedures  
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second

saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.  
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the  
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade  
below the workpiece.  
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the  
blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.  
Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the  
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body  
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.  
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation  
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make  
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.  
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy  
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.  
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.  
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of  
control.  
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were  
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.  
Kickback causes and related warnings  
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an  
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;  
when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and  
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;  
if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade  
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump  
back toward the operator.  
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and  
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.  
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist  
kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with  
the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be  
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
