alcohol or medication . A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury .
• Use personal protective equipment . Always wear eye pro-
tection . Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries .
• Prevent unintentional starting . Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool . Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents .
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on . A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury .
• Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at all
times . This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations .
• Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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 extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used . Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards .
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 the
battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools .
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing 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 . Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation . If dam-
aged, 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 ac-
cordance 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 in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation .
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 .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ROUTERS
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because
the cutter may contact its own cord . Cutting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and shock the operator .
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform . Holding the work
by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control .
• The allowable speed of the router bit must be at least as
high as the maximum speed listed on the power tool .
Accessories that rotate faster than permitted can be de-
stroyed .
• Router bits or other accessories must fit exactly in the tool
holder (collet) of your machine . Routing bits that do not
fit precisely in the tool holder of the machine rotate ir-
regularly, vibrate heavily and can lead to loss of control .
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched
on . Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cut-
ting tool jams in the workpiece .
• Keep your hands away from the routing area and the
router bit . Hold the auxiliary handle or the motor hous-
ing with your second hand . When both hands hold the
machine, they cannot be injured by the router bit .
• Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws . The router
bit can become damaged and lead to increased vibra-
tions .
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion . Penetrating a water line causes property
damage .
• Do not use blunt or damaged router bits . Blunt or dam-
aged router bits cause increased friction, can become
jammed and lead to imbalance .
• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance . The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands .
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool .
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying
out maintenance work on the motor .
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come off use a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water . Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc . These sol-
vents may damage the plastic parts .
• The machine requires no additional lubrication .
• Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local BORT GLOBAL LIMITED dealer .
