Safety information for routers
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting 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.
- The permitted speed of the cutting bit must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. If cutting bits run faster than their rated speed, they may break and fly off.
- Routers and other accessories must be able to fit exactly in the tool holder (collet) of your power tool. Application tools that do not fit exactly in the tool holder of the power tool will turn unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause a loss of control.
- Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
- Do not put your hands in the routing area or close to the router. Grip the auxiliary handle with your other hand. Holding the router with both hands avoids injury.
- Never rout over metal objects, nails or screws. The router could become damaged and cause increased vibration.
- Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
- Do not use blunt or damaged routers. Blunt or damaged routers cause increased friction, create imbalances and may become jammed.
- Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
- Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
WARNING
Ensure that the coin cell is kept out of the reach of children. Coin cells are dangerous.
- Coin cells must never be swallowed or inserted into any other part of the body. If you suspect that someone has swallowed a coin cell or that a coin cell has entered the body in another way, seek medical attention immediately. Swallowing coin cells can result in severe internal burns and death within 2 hours.
- Ensure that coin cell replacement is carried out properly. There is a risk of explosion.
- Only use the coin cells listed in this operating manual. Do not use any other coin cells or other forms of electrical power supply.
- Do not attempt to recharge the coin cell and do not short circuit the coin cell. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
- Remove and dispose of drained coin cell correctly. Drained coin cell may leak and damage the product or cause personal injury.
- Do not overheat the coin cell or throw it into fire. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
- Do not damage the coin cell and take the coin cell apart. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
- Do not allow damaged coin cells to come into contact with water. Leaking lithium may mix with water to create hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an explosion, or personal injury.
- Stop using the power tool if the battery compartment cover no longer closes; remove the coin cell and have the power tool repaired.
