SAFETY POINTS
1. Disconnect power tool and attachment
from power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when making
adjustments and when changing
accessories such as cutters. Ensure
switch is in “off” position. Always
ensure cutter has stopped rotating.
2. Read and understand instructions
supplied with power tool, attachment
and cutter.
3. Current Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) for eye, ear and respiratory
protection must be worn. Keep hands,
hair and clothes clear of the cutter.
4. Before each use check cutter is sharp
and free from damage. Do not use if
cutter is dull, broken or cracked or if
any damage is noticeable or suspected.
5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on
tool or in instructions or on packaging
shall not be exceeded. Where stated,
the speed range should be adhered to.
6. Insert the shank into the router collet
at least all the way to the marked line
indicated on the shank. This ensures at
least 3/4 of shank length is held in
collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are
clean.
7. Check all fixing and fastening nuts,
bolts and screws on power tool,
attachment and cutting tools are
correctly assembled, tight and to
correct torque setting before use.
8. Ensure all visors, guards and dust
extraction is fitted.
9. The direction of routing must always be
opposite to the cutter’s direction of
rotation.
10. Do not switch power tool on with the
cutter touching the workpiece.
11. Trial cuts should be made in waste
material before starting any project.
12. Repair of tools is only allowed
according to tool manufacturers
instructions.
13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass; take
several shallow passes to reduce the
side load applied to the cutter.
