ing 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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. 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 op-
erations 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 iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Router safety
warnings
Wear ear protectors with router. Expo-
sure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▪ Always use both handles during operation.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
During operation provide eye protec-
tion to prevent eyes from exposure to fly-
ing particles. Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against inha-
lation of dust. Some materials can contain
toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask and work
with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
Original instructions
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▪ Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
▪ Do not process materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
▪ Use of protective gloves is recommended.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source, ensure that the voltage
supply is the same as the one specified on
the name-plate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as 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.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you
must ensure that it has the right ampere rating
for your power tool and it is in safe electrical
condition.
WARNING: Always switch off and un-
plug the power tool prior to any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance or in case of mains
drop-out.
▪ Prior to operation remove all nails, screws
and other objects from the work piece. You
can damage the bit and the tool by cutting
into a nail or other metal. It can also present a
safety hazard.
▪ Never operate the router under load. Make
sure that the bit is not in contact with the work
piece when you switch the machine on.
▪ Always use both handles and make sure that
you have a good grip on the router before pro-
ceeding with any work.
▪ Always switch off and wait until the bit has
come to a complete standstill before remov-
ing the machine from the work piece.
▪ Do not touch the bit immediately after opera-
tion. It may be extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
