dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Always unplug your power tool when leaving
unattended. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally by untrained users.
f. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
g. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
h. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
ELECTRICAL ROUTERS
• Never start the router while the cutter is
touching the workpiece.
• Ensure the cutter has completely stopped
before plunging to the collet lock position.
• Do not handle cutters immediately after use -
they become very hot.
• Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when
using hand-held.
• Only use router cutters designed for
woodwork, suitable for use between 8,000
and 21,000rpm.
• Only use cutters with a shank diameter exactly
matched to the collet(s) supplied with this
router. (½" and ¼" for Australian, UK, USA,
Canadian & South African models. ½", ¼",
12mm, 8mm & 6mm for Japanese models.
12mm & 6mm for European & Korean models.)
• Extreme care must be taken not to overload
the motor when using cutters with a diameter
greater then 2" (50mm). Use very slow feed
rates and/or multiple shallow cuts to avoid

overloading the motor.
• Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must
ensure it has the right ampere rating for your
power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same
as your tool rating plate voltage.
• Your tool is double insulated for additional
protection against a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
• Always check walls, floors and ceilings to
avoid hidden power cables and pipes.
• After long working periods external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
• Handle router bits with care, they can be
extremely sharp.
• Check the bit carefully for signs of damage
or cracks before use. Replace damaged or
cracked bits immediately.
• Always use both handles and make that
you have a firm grip on the router before
proceeding with
any work.
• Keep your hands away from the rotating bit.
• Make sure that the bit is not in contact with
the work when you switch the machine on.
• Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on
and let it run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate an improperly
installed bit.
• Take notice of the direction of rotation of the
bit and the direction of feed.
• Always switch off and wait until the bit
has come to a complete stand still before
removing the machine from the work piece.
• Do not touch the bit immediately after
operation. It may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
• Ensure that you have removed foreign objects
such as nails and screws from the work
before commencing operation.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the
like should never be left around the work area.
• Use safety equipment including safety goggles
or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
