Specific Safety Rules - KNOVA KN RO-1321 Manual Del Usuario

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Maintain the power tool. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect the operation of the power tool.
If it is damaged, have it repaired before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Check for misalignment or bonding of moving parts,
breakage parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. If you find a damaged tool, take it to
service before use it.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer of your model. Suitable accessories for one
tool, may become hazardous when are used on another tool.
• Do not alter or misuse the tool. These tools have been
built by precision. Any alteration or modification not
specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
• Is recommendable to use a safety device suitable, such
a thermal and diferential switch when you are using an
electric equipment.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be perfomed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When tool service is required, use only identical replacement
parts and follow the instructions from Maintenance Section
in this manual. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may cause a risk of electric
shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

CAUTION
Cutting bits coast after the router is
switched off.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfac- es (handles)
when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
• Maintain a firm grip on the router with both hands to resist
torque upon starting the router.
• Never attempt to use the router motor with- out first
installing it in an approved base. Fail- ure to heed this
warning could result in per- sonal injury and damage to
the motor.
• Do not hold the router by hand for use in an upside-down
or horizontal position. The router motor can separate from
the base if it is not properly attached according to
the instructions.
• Tighten the collet/nut securely to prevent the cutting bit
from slipping. If the collet/nut is not securely tightened,
the cutting bit may detach during use, causing serious
personal injury.
• Never tighten the collet/nut without a cut- ting bit
installed in the collet /nut.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable plat- form, and hold the
workpiece rigidly in posi- tion. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across
your legs. It is important to support and clamp the
workpiece properly In order to minimize body exposure, bit
binding, and loss of control.
• Always keep the chip shield clean and in place.
• Stay alert and clear the router cutting-bit path of any
obstructions before starting the motor. Keep the cutting
area clear of all foreign ob- jects while the router motor is
running.
• Check to see that the cord will not "hang up" during rouing
operations.
• Make sure that the cutting bit is not in contact wlth the
workpiece before the switch is tumed on. The bit must
always be running at full speed before contacting
the workpiece.
• Keep hands clear of the cutting bit when the router motor
is running to prevent personal injury.
• Provide clearance under the workpiece for the router
cutting bit when through-cutting.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload
the motor.
• Use only sharp cutting blts that are not chipped or
cracked. Blunt cutting bits will cause stalling and can burn
the workpiece.
• Never use this router motor with a cutting bit larger than
3-1/2-inches in diameter.
• Always use cutting bits that are designed for this router.
Never use cutting bits that are larger in diameter than the
opening in the router subbase. Cutting bits that have
cutter diameters larger than the opening could cause
possible loss of control or create other hazardous
condition that could cause serious personal injury.
• The sub-base on this router has an opening of 1-1/4 inch.
To use cutting bits with a larger di- ameter, install and use
a sub-base with a larger diameter opening (sold
separately).
• Do not use large router cutting bits for freehand routing.
Use of large cutting bits when freehand routing could
cause loss of control or create hazardous conditions that
could result in serious personal injury. If using a router
table, large bits should be used for edging only.
• Be sure the cutting bit is centered.
• Do not remove more than 1/8 inch in a single pass.
Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of control that
could result in personal injury.
• Turn the router motor OFF after completing a cut, and let
it come to a complete stop before removing the router
from workpiece.
• Let the router motor come to a complete stop before
putting the router down. Cutting bits coast after
the power is turned off.
• Only use router tables that conform to safe wood working
practices and offer proper guarding for the cutting bit.
Use router tables that are UL classified and identified as
suitable for use with this specific router model. Failure to
comply could result in serious personal injury.
• Only use router tables with on-board, switchcontrolled
receptacles. Failure to use router tables with all the
appropriate safety features could result in serious
personal injury.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source before
ranking any adjustments or changing cutting bits.
• Be careful not to touch the collet/nut or cutting bit with
your hands or fingers if you are changing a bit immedlately
after use. The heat buildup from cutting could cause
severe burns. Always use the wrench provided.
