2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. USE CLAMPS OR ANOTHER PRACTICAL WAY TO SECURE 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.
• Always wear a dust mask and ear protection when using this power tool.
• Use only bits, which are designed for this router.
• Use only sharp bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt bits will cause
stalling.
• Secure small pieces of wood firmly before working. Never hold them in your
hand.
• Danger. Keep hands away from the cutting area.
• Secure the workpiece by means of the clamping equipment.
• Before staring up, check that the bit is firmly positioned and secured into the
collets.
• The maximum indicated limit rotation speed of the milling bit must not be
exceeded.
• Routing must always be carried out against the direction of rotation (bit-
rotation) of the bit.
• The bit must be running at full speed before lowering into the work-piece.
• When operating the machine, take great care and always hold the router
handles firmly with both hands. Always provide for a secure footing when
working.
• Beware of the reaction torque of the machine, particularly if the bit becomes
jammed in the workpiece.
• On completion of work, allow the machine to slide back to its initial position
by releasing the handle.
• Make yourself familiar with your working area and be alert for possible hazards,
which you might not hear due to machine noise.
• Caution: Allow for run down time of bit after turning router off. Wait for the
machine to come to a complete stop before removing from the work piece.
• Never slow the router down with your hands.
• Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn you.
