• Routing operations must always be performed against the direction of rotation of the
cutter bit (cutter rotation).
• The router must be running at full speed before it is lowered to the workpiece.
• Always hold the handles firmly with both hands, and always ensure that your footing is
secure when operating the router.
• Be prepared for the reaction torque of the router, particularly if the cutter bit becomes
jammed in the workpiece.
• Become familiar with the working area, and be alert for possible hazards that cannot be
heard due to the noise of the router.
CAUTION!
Allow sufficient run-down time for the cutter bit after turning the router off. Wait for it to
come to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.
• Never slow the router down with your hands.
• Do not touch the cutter bit immediately after operation. It may be extremely hot, and
could burn.
• Never stop the router by applying lateral pressure to the cutter bit.
• Do not force the router. It will do a better job if it is allowed to work at its intended speed.
• Avoid cutting nails and screws. Inspect timber before cutting, and remove all nails and screws.
• In the event of an electrical or mechanical malfunction, switch the router off immediately
and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
• Never use router bits with a diameter exceeding the maximum diameter specified in the technical
data section.
• Always use cutter bits that are designed for this router. Never use cutter bits which are larger in
diameter than the opening in the router base. Cutter bits that have cutter diameters larger than the
opening could cause possible loss of control or create other hazardous condition that could cause
serious personal injury.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Specific safety rules for electric routers
• Hold a power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the tool or accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitionsare as follows:
V ..................... Volts
A ..................... Amperes
Hz ................... Hertz
W .................... Watts
min ................. Minutes
............... Alternating current

.............. WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
• Always wear a dust mask and ear protection when using this power tool. Use only cutter
bits that are designed for this router.
• Use sharp cutter bits that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt cutter bits will cause stalling.
• Secure small pieces of wood firmly before working. Never hold a workpiece by hand.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area. Secure the workpiece with appropriate clamping equipment.
• Before starting the router, check that the cutter bit is firmly positioned and secured in the collet.
