SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was
designed.
2.
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.
3. D
isconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack 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.
4.
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.
5.
Maintain power tools. 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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories,
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.
SERVICE
1.
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 GUIDELINES FOR
ROUTERS
1.
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the cutter
may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDE-
LINES FOR ROUTERS
1.
Always make sure the work surface is
free from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage the bit.
2.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand
and the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface.
Clamping the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer.
3.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to
jump.
4.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working
in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
5.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
6.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened.
Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
7.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material.
The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.
8.
Always hold the tool with two hands
during start-up.
The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
