Dust Hazard: Routing generates wood dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection and dust extraction where possible.
Rotational Hazard: Keep hands away from rotating cutter. Never reach under the workpiece while the cutter is spinning. Ensure workpiece is securely clamped.
Kickback Hazard: Maintain firm grip and proper stance. Do not apply excessive pressure—allow the tool to do the work. Use the correct feed direction.
Maintenance: Unplug tool before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage, bit selection, and safety procedures. Supervisors should ensure all safety protocols are followed.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
