Special Safety Instructions for Routers
1.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter
may contact its own cable. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece
that you are working on to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your
hand or against your body will render it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3.
Always wear a dust mask and ear protection when using this power tool.
4.
Use only bits, which are designed for this router.
5.
Use only sharp bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt bits will cause
stalling.
6.
Secure small pieces of wood firmly before working. Never hold them in your
hand.
7.
Danger: Keep hands away from the cutting area.
8.
Before starting up, check that the bit is firmly positioned and secured into
the collets.
9.
The maximum indicated limit rotation speed of the milling bit must not be
exceeded.
10. Routing must always be carried out against the direction of rotation of the
bit.
11. The bit must be running at full speed before lowering into the workpiece.
12. When operating the machine, take great care and always hold the router
handles firmly with both hands. Always provide for a secure footing when
working.
13. Beware of the reaction torque of the machine, particularly if the bit becomes
jammed in the workpiece.
14. On completion of work, allow the machine to slide back to its initial position
by releasing the handle.
15. Make yourself familiar with your working area and be alert for possible
hazards, which you might not hear due to machine noise.
16. Caution: Allow for the run down time of the bit after turning router off. Wait
for the machine to come to a complete stop before removing from the
workpiece.
17. Never slow the router down with your hands.
18. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and
could burn you.
19. Never stop the router by applying lateral pressure to the bit.
