• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, 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 operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ELECTRIC ROUTERS
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
• Use clamps or another practical way to support the workpiece and secure it 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.
• Only use cutters that are designed for this router. Never use router bits with
a diameter exceeding the maximum diameter specified in the technical data
section.
• Only use sharp cutters that are not chipped or cracked. Blunt cutters will
cause stalling.
• Secure small pieces of wood firmly before working. Never hold a workpiece in
your hand.
• Keep your hands away from the cutting area.
• Before starting the router, check that the cutter is firmly positioned and
secured in the collet.
• Do not exceed the maximum indicated rotation speed of the cutter.
• Routing operations must always be performed against the direction of
rotation (cutter-rotation) of the cutter.
• The cutter must be running at full speed before it is lowered to the workpiece.
