Drywall Router Safety Rules

Hold tool 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.
Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to

loss of control.
If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas

where electrical wiring may exist is

unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit

breakers feeding this worksite.

Always make sure the work surface is free

from nails and other foreign objects.

Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the

tool to jump and damage the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and

the tool in the other hand when in use.

Never place hands near or below cutting

surface. Clamping the material and guiding

the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard

surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...

Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust

mask. Use only in well ventilated area.

Power tool use and care

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.
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.
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.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tools operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for

the particular type of power tool, 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.
Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to

loss of control.

Service

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.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule

for your tool. When cleaning a tool be

careful not to disassemble any portion of

the tool since internal wires may be

misplaced or pinched or safety guard

return springs may be improperly mounted.

Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,

carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may

damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user, power cord must only be

serviced by a Rotozip/Bosch Factory Service

Center or Authorized Rotozip/Bosch Service

Station.
