cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury
to persons.
16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position when connecting to a mains socket or inserting
a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor
use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on and off. The switch must be repaired before the
tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the
user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of
electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)"
or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual
Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
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.
Workcentre Safety
WARNING: If the workcentre is fitted with a router module, the following safety instructions should be
considered.
WARNING: This is a complex device that combines multiple tools into one workshop machine system. It may
only be used for the applications described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to mount accessories or power tools
other than those specified. DO NOT use this device for purposes for which it was not designed. This could be highly
dangerous and could lead to severe injury, even death, or substantial property damage.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment, including eye protection and cut-proof gloves when
fitting power tools to Workcentre modules.
WARNING: DO NOT use this device with inserts for unfamiliar power tools. Seek professional training and advise
prior to working with unfamiliar tools.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc) be sure
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.
1. ALWAYS avoid positioning hands or fingers where they could be 'pinched', during assembly/folding or when
changing module inserts.
2. NEVER load the Workcentre chassis with weights beyond the safe max load capacity listed in
'Specification'.
3. DO NOT sit, stand on, or climb onto the clamping table. DO NOT use this tool as a work platform or scaffolding.
4. DO NOT use in wet or damp environments. The Workcentre, its modules and components are designed for
indoor use only, and must remain dry at all times.
5. ALWAYS ensure power tools are correctly and securely mounted when using modules powered by hand-held
power tools.
6. ALWAYS fully read and understand the instruction manual supplied by the power tool manufacturer. Follow
all safety advice and usage procedures.
7. ALL hand-held power tools used with Workcentre modules MUST be connected over the switchbox of the
Workcentre. DO NOT connect power tools directly to the power supply, as this would disable important safety
features of the Workcentre system.
8. ALWAYS disconnect the Workcentre from the power supply before changing power tools, accessories or
making adjustments. ALWAYS switch the Workcentre off before disconnecting from the power supply, to prevent
accidental activation when the tool is reconnected to power.
9. ALWAYS disconnect the Workcentre from the power supply when work is completed for the day, or when
leaving the unit unattended.
10. ALWAYS use the push stick when adequate, as outlined in the instructions of applicable Workcentre
modules. Store the push stick with the Workcentre when not in use.
11. ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the router table, and where
necessary, also to the sides. Use roller supports or saw horses wherever possible.
12. LIMIT the workpiece weight and dimension to a size that can safely be cut without jeopardising the
stability of the Workcentre. NEVER attempt to cut a workpiece that cannot be safely handled by the operator, or
that cannot be supported, in-feed and/or out-feed.
Clamping Table Safety
WARNING: NEVER load your clamping table with weights beyond the safe max load capacity listed in 'Specification'.
1. ALWAYS ensure even clamping of your workpiece. NEVER apply an unbalanced load, which could result in the
table tipping over.
2. ENSURE the workpiece is securely clamped or secured before using a hand-held power tool (e.g. drill,
sander, planer etc.).
3. ALWAYS support long or wide workpieces by using suitable side supports.
4. ONLY use compatible bench dog clamps with the correct diameter to achieve reliable clamping results.
5. DO NOT mount stationary power tools (e.g. mitre saws, planer thicknessers etc) on top of the clamping
table, which exceed the maximum 150kg load capacity of the workcentre. This could cause severe injury.
6. DO NOT cut or drill into the clamping table surface. Place a piece of sacrificial timber under the workpiece to
avoid damage to the module and Workcentre chassis.
7. Remove wood glue, stain or other residues immediately, using a slightly damp cloth. DO NOT wait until the
compounds have dried, and DO NOT use solvents.
