Product Familiarisation - GMC GER1800 Manual Del Usuario

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
• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete standstill before
removing the machine from the workpiece
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any adjustment, servicing
or maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic. Some materials may be
chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials
may contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other chemicals. Avoid
prolonged exposure to dust generated from operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to get onto
skin or eyes and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption of harmful
chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust mask and
dust extraction system where possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is
more critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of personal protection
is used.
