n) Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed
o) Keep your hands away from the routing area and router bit cutter.
Hold the auxiliary handle or an
insulated gripping surface with your second hand
p) NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
q) Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
r) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock position
s) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least as high as the maximum speed of the
power tool
t) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation.
Do not handle immediately after use to
avoid risk of burns
u) Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible materials
v) The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched to the exact same size
collet fitted to the router.
Incorrectly fitted router cutter/bits will rotate irregularly and have increased
vibration that could lead to loss of control
w) DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch the tool into bit change mode while the
router is operating
x) Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece, allowing the router bit cutter to dictate
the speed of cut.
DO NOT force the tool and overload the motor
y) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain clear to read and are replaced if
marked or damaged
z) When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit cutter stalling in the workpiece and
causing loss of control.
Always ensure the router is firmly held and the on/off switch is immediately
released in such circumstances
• After switching on the router, check the router bit is rotating evenly (not ‘wobbling’) and there is no
additional vibration due to the router bit being incorrectly fitted. Operating the router with an incorrectly
fitted router bit can lead to loss of control and severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a diameter greater than 2" (50mm).
Use very
slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow cuts to avoid overloading the motor
• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete standstill before removing the
machine from the workpiece
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic.
Some materials may be chemically
treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials may contain toxic chemicals.
Some older paints may contain lead and other chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from
operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth
to prevent absorption of harmful chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust
mask and dust extraction system where possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more
critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of personal protection is used.
