Additional safety rules
for routers
Operating with unsecured work piece or touching the
moving parts of the router could cause severe physical
injuries, and noise loading could damage the operator's
hearing if the below-mentioned instructions and those in
the enclosed Safety Instructions are not observed.
▪ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting 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.
▪ Always wear eye and ear protection and use a dust
mask.
▪ Always switch the machine off and remove the plug
from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
▪ Never operate the router under load.
▪ Always keep the cord away from the working area of
the router.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid poten-
tial overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure it has the right ampere rating for your power tool
and is in a safe electrical condition.
▪ After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
▪ Handle router bits with care, they can be extremely
sharp.
▪ Check the bit carefully for signs of damage or cracks
before use. Replace cracked or damaged bits imme-
diately.
▪ Use only router bits with proper shank diameter and
suitable for the power tool speed.
▪ Prior to operation remove all nails, screws and other
objects from the work piece. You can damage the bit
and the tool by cutting into a nail or other metal. It can
also present a safety hazard.
▪ Always use both handles and make sure that you
have a good grip on the router before proceeding
with any work.
▪ Keep your hands away from the rotating bit.
▪ Make sure that the bit is not in contact with the work
piece when you switch the machine on.
▪ Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate an improperly installed bit.
▪ Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and
the direction of feed.
Original instructions
▪ Do not leave the machine running unattended. Oper-
ate the tool only when controlled by both hands.
▪ Always switch off and wait until the bit has come to
a complete standstill before removing the machine
from the work piece.
▪ Do not touch the bit immediately after operation. It
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never
be left around the work area.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury re-
sulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such
changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not pos-
sible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construc-
tion and design:
▪ Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not
worn.
▪ Harmful emissions of wood dust when the machine
is used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary
dust extraction.
▪ Contact with the bit.
▪ Reaching into the housing whilst the tool is running
and making contact with the bit.
▪ Kickback of work piece and parts of work piece.
▪ Bit fracture.
▪ Catapulting of faulty pieces from the bit.
▪ Do not use bits that are deformed or cracked.
▪ Always remove the plug from the mains socket be-
fore making any adjustments or maintenance, includ-
ing changing the bit and setting the depth of cut.
