Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
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.
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.
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.
Router Safety
WARNING 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 gloves
• 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
