Before each use check cutter is sharp and
free from damage. Do not use if cutter is
dull, broken or cracked or if any damage is
noticeable or suspected. Only use tools for
woodworking to EN847 safety standard.
Ensure cutting tool is suitable for application.
5.
The maximum speed (nmax) marked on
tool or in instructions or on packaging shall
not be exceeded. Where stated, the speed
range should be adhered to.
6.
Insert the shank into the router collet at
least all the way to the marked line indicated
on the shank. This ensures at least 3⁄4 of
the shank length is held in collet. Ensure
clamping surfaces are clean.
7.
Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts
and screws on power tool, attachment and
cutting tools are correctly assembled, tight
and to correct torque setting before use.

touching the workpiece.
11. Trial cuts should be made in waste material
before starting any project.
12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to
