1 Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose tools to rain
Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
Keep work area well lit
Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work
touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area
5 Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach
of children
6 Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended
7 Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool
Do not use tools for purposes for which they are not intended; for example do not use circular
saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 Dress appropriately
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in moving parts
Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 Use protective equipment
Use safety glasses
Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal injury or
increase the severity of an injury.
10 Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used
11 Do not abuse the power cable - Never pull the power cable to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables
increase the risk of electric shock
12 Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your
hands
13 Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 Maintain tools with care
Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to bind or
lock in the workpiece
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
Inspect tool power cables periodically and have them repaired by an authorised service facility if
damaged
Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 Disconnect tools - Disconnect tools from the power supply when not in use, before servicing and
when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off" position when connecting to a mains
socket, inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for outdoor use and so marked . Use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock

19 Stay alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired
Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
20 Check damaged parts
Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect its operation
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not switch the tool on and off. The switch
must be repaired before the tool is used .
21 Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the relevant
safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts .
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre .
22 Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23 If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
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.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor .
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. 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 the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Router Table Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment;
• Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss
• Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of harmful dust
• Cut-proof no-fray gloves to avoid possible injuries when handling router cutters and rough
material due to sharp edges. Any gloves where fabric material can work loose with the possibility
of fabric strands MUST not be used when operating the router table
• Safety glasses to avoid eye injury caused by flying particles
Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area use adequate protection. Keep bystanders a safe
distance away.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the router cutter guard to
a suitable vacuum dust extraction system. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause
allergic reactions in people and animals, especially when exposed to very fine dust. ALWAYS wear
appropriate respiratory protection in addition to vacuum dust extraction .
a) ONLY fit plunge routers that are listed as compatible in 'Specification' to the Router Table.
Only fit router bits that are suitable for the installed plunge router, with shanks compatible with
the collet installed .
b) NEVER reach to the underside of the router table when the router is connected to the
power supply.
c) ALWAYS remove the router plunge spring and plastic base plate, before fitting the tool to
the router table. This enables easy router bit change and height winder adjustment from above
the table .
d) Keep your hands away from the cutting area. NEVER pass your hands directly over, or in front
of, the revolving cutter. As one hand approaches the router bit, move it AWAY from the cutter, in
an arc motion over the top of the router bit, to the out-feed side beyond the cutter . NEVER trail
your fingers behind the workpiece and DO NOT use awkward hand positions. Use push sticks and
blocks where necessary.
e) Do not attempt to perform tasks on workpieces shorter than 300mm (12") in length
without using special fixtures or jigs. It is recommended to make work pieces oversize then
cut to finished length.
f) ASSESS risks, benefits and alternatives BEFORE using push sticks, push blocks or other
jigs and safety devices. In many applications the use of such contraptions is useful and safe,
however, in others it can be dangerous. Push sticks can fly out of the operator's hand, when they
come into contact with the revolving router bit, potentially causing serious injuries.
