SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
5) Service
a) 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 Instructions
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR ELECTRICAL ROUTERS
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains
switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool
can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in
doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage
less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
• Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear
protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety
glove
• Cloths, cord, string etc. should never be left around the work
area
• Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool rating
plate voltage
• Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in a safe
electrical condition, and have the correct ampere rating for the
tool
• Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating
• Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power
cables and pipes
• Ensure that you have removed embedded objects such as nails
and screws from the workpiece before commencing operation
• Handle router bits with care, they can be extremely sharp
• Before use, check the bit carefully for signs of damage or
cracks. Replace damaged or cracked bits immediately
• Always use both handles and ensure that you have a firm grip
on the router before proceeding with any work
• Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for
a while. Vibration could indicate an improperly installed bit
• Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the
direction of feed
• Keep hands away from the rotating bit
• Never start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
• Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
• Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the
collet lock position
• Only use router cutters designed for woodwork, suitable for use
between 8,000 and 20,000rpm
• Do not handle cutters immediately after use - they become very
hot
• Only use cutters with a shank diameter exactly matched to the
collet(s) supplied with this router
• 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 power before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance
