WORK AREA:
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
•
Do not operate the router in an environment where explosive or corrosive
gases could be present. Power tools create sparks which may ignite fumes. and
avoid areas where there is excessive dampness or humidity.
•
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the router.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
•
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a fit outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation
cord and grounded power supply system.
•
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
•
Do not expose the router to wet conditions. Water entering the router will increase
the risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•
Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the cord to carry the router or to pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord intended
for outdoor use. It reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY:
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
the router. Do not use the router while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the router may
result in serious personal injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in
the router with the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove the spanner before turning the router on. A spanner left attached to a
rotating part may result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the router in unexpected situations.

may lead to loss of control.
•
Do not force the router. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
Do not use the router if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. If there appears to be
a problem refer to the "Trouble-shooting" and if necessary contact a repair centre.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the router. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store the router in a dry location, out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. This tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
•
Check for misalignment (ie. excessive vibration), binding of moving parts, or any
damage that may affect the routers operation. If damaged have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Do not exceed the cutter manufacturers' rpm specifications.
•
Never start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece.
•
Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock
position.
•
Do not handle cutters immediately after use - they become very hot.
•
Ensure the removable plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held.
•
Only use cutters and accessories specified as suitable for this router.
•
Use only shank cutters with collet adaptor supplied.
SERVICE:
•
Any damage to the router should be repaired and carefully inspected before
use, by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•
Servicing should only be carried out by authorised CMT Repair Centres using
original CMT replacement parts. Follow instructions carefully and refer to "Trouble-
shooting" for problem identification and advice. Use of unauthorised or faulty parts
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS:
Hold the router by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
