Power tool use and care

18.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.

19.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.

20.Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.

21.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.

22.Maintain power tools. 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.

23.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

24.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.

Service

25.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.

26.Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.

27.Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

ROUTER SAFETY WARNINGS

1.Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

2.Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

3.Wear hearing protection during extended period of operation.

4.Handle the bits very carefully.

5.Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.

6.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.

7.Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

8.Keep hands away from rotating parts.

9.Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

10.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.

11.Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction.

12.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

13.Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece.

14.Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

15.Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base.

16.Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and which are suitable for the speed of the tool.

17.Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
