b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Routers
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
•
only because the cutter may contact hidden wiring or
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.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Compact Routers
For personal protection, ALWAYS wear a dust mask.
•
DO NOT cut metal.
•
Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and
•
free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of
the tool.
Maintain firm grip with both hands on router to resist
•
starting torque.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under
•
the workpiece for any reason. Keep the router base firmly in
contact with the workpiece when cutting. These precautions
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of
•
the router bases. The motor is not designed to be handheld.
Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.
•
Check to see that the cord will not snag or impede the
•
routing operation.
Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the router to
•
swerve or stall under pressure.
Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before
•
you lay the router down. If the cutter head is still spinning
when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.
Be sure that the router cutter is clear of the workpiece
•
before starting the motor. If the cutter is in contact with
the workpiece when the motor starts it could make the router
jump, causing damage or injury.
ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before
•
making adjustments or changing cutters.
