Personal safety
Pay attention to what you are doing at all times, and use your common sense. Never use power
tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and how it is used, safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of
personal injury.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the cord and/or the battery, or
lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to
the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before starting the power tool.
Spanners or keys etc. left in a rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
Avoid unstable and awkward positions when working. Always maintain a firm footing and good
balance. This will ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is provided, this should be connected and used
correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related hazards.
Use and handling
Do not force the power tool. Always use the correct tool for the job.
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off using the power switch. Power tools that
cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the power cord and/or disconnect the battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or putting the power tool away.
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Individuals must not use the tool
unless they are familiar with these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if used by
inexperienced people.
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Make sure that moving parts are properly adjusted and
do not jam and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for any other factors that
could influence functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used
again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better, safer work. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use power tools, accessories, bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. Use the power tool only for its intended
purpose.
WARNING
Follow the safety instructions when working with power tools to safeguard against the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
Wear safety glasses. Wear a dust filter mask. Wear ear protection.
Secure the workpiece with a clamp, vice or clips.
Never use router bits that are warped, deformed or damaged in some other way. Only use bits with
a shank diameter of 6 or 8 mm, which can withstand the maximum speed of the tool.
Never use blunt bits.
Only use bits intended for wood and other similar materials.
Make sure the workpiece is free of nails and foreign objects.
Allow the motor to reach full speed before milling. Never start the tool when the bit is in contact with
the workpiece.
Do not press the tool forwards too hard. Smooth forward movements reduce the risk of problems
and will ensure the tool lasts longer.
For best results, work anticlockwise when working with outer contours and clockwise when working
with inner contours.
Machine in several stages when using large diameter bits, or when machining a lot of material.
Switch off and unplug the tool immediately in the event of abnormal noise or abnormal vibrations.
Do not put the tool down until it has completely stopped.
