General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
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.
5) Service
a) 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.
Additional Safety for Routers
WARNING!
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
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.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual current
device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
a) Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask
and protective clothing including safety gloves
b) Cloths, cord, string etc should never be left around the work area
c) Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool rating plate voltage
d) Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in a safe electrical condition, and
have the correct ampere rating for the tool
e) Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating
f) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or pipes are below the surface
of the work area. Consult utility companies for assistance if necessary. Contact
with electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire. Damaging a gas pipe can lead to
explosion. Contact with water lines can lead to major property damage
g) Ensure embedded objects such as nails and screws have been removed from the
workpiece before commencing operation
h) Handle router bits with care as they can be extremely sharp
i) Before use, check the bit carefully for signs of damage or cracks. Replace damaged or
cracked bits immediately
j) Ensure router cutters/bits are sharp and maintained correctly. Dull cutting edges can
lead to uncontrolled situations including stalling, increased heat and possible injury
k) ALWAYS use both handles and maintain a firm grip on the router before proceeding
with any work
l) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease to ensure
the tool can be securely held in use
m) Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for a while. Vibration
could indicate an improperly installed bit
n) Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed
o) Keep your hands away from the routing area and router bit cutter. Hold the auxiliary
handle or an insulated gripping surface with your second hand
p) NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
q) Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
r) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock position
s) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least as high as the maximum
speed of the power tool
t) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation. Do not handle immediately
after use to avoid risk of burns
u) Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible materials
v) The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched to the exact same size collet
fitted to the router. Incorrectly fitted router cutter/bits will rotate irregularly and have
increased vibration that could lead to loss of control
w) DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch the tool into bit change
mode while the router is operating
x) Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece, allowing the router bit
cutter to dictate the speed of cut. DO NOT force the tool and overload the motor
y) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain clear to read and are
replaced if marked or damaged
z) When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit cutter stalling in the
workpiece and causing loss of control. Always ensure the router is firmly held and the
on/off switch is immediately released in such circumstances
• After switching on the router, check the router bit is rotating evenly (not 'wobbling')
and there is no additional vibration due to the router bit being incorrectly fitted.
Operating the router with an incorrectly fitted router bit can lead to loss of control and
severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a diameter greater than 2"
(50mm). Use very slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow cuts to avoid overloading the
motor
