Ready2Lift Operations Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all safety and operating instructions before using the Ready Lift (R L). This
includes reading the manual(s) for the router and router table that you’ll be using the
Ready Lift with. Take the time to orient yourself to the R L and the workflow steps.
. Take small steps early in use – this will enable you to use the R L safely and effectively.
Practice each step a few times early on without running the router for example. Again, this
orientation process will help you to use the R L safely and effectively.
3. Ensure that you have a positive system in place to make sure that power is not applied to
the router while testing the initial position of a work piece, adjusting the position of the tool,
changing a bit, or setting up associated clamps, hold downs, or jigs.
4. Ensure that the material or work piece is firmly secured before starting any cutting
operation. Also be sure that all clamps, hold downs, and jigs are not in the path of the cutter –
and do not interfere with the movement of the R L.
5. Always wear eye and ear protection while operating your Ready Lift.
6. Keep miscellaneous equipment off of the router table and the R L. This includes areas on
top and underneath the R L.
7. Never leave the router table and R L unattended while it is running. A work piece slippage,
unexpected cutting error or other unexpected event might occur. This could result in injury as
well as damage to the Ready Lift.
8. Never attempt to remove chips, dust or debris from the machine while it is running with
your hands or fingers, or by placing a vacuum device into the field of operation – near the
cutter.
9. Maintain your router, router table and R L. Keep the work area clean and debris free.
Follow the recommended maintenance practices for the router and table.
Ready2Lift Hardware and Pro ect Safety Instructions
Your Ready Lift is a component of a system – the Ready Lift, the Ready Rout (if applicable),
the router table, and the router.
The Ready Lift is connected to an electronics control unit and display, either through a
Ready Rout or Ready interface. It is controlled by a stepper motor, and external ports that
connect to the electronics control unit. These are all precision electronic devices and are
susceptible to damage from power surges, static discharges, inappropriate power supply, and
other unexpected electrical events. It is recommended that the R L power supply be plugged
