General safety advice for electrical power tools
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand. The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only. This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Safety notices specific to routers
Only hold the power tool by the insu-
lated handle areas as the router may
touch the tool’s mains cable. Contact
with a live wire could cause metal parts of the
device to become live and lead to electric shock.
Fix and secure the work piece to a
stable surface using clamps or other
means. When only securing the work piece
by hand or against your body it will remain
unstable, which could lead to loss of control.
Supplementary Instructions
The permissible rotational speed of the
router tool must be at least as high as
the maximum speed indicated on the
electrical power tool. Parts used at higher
than permissible speeds may be ruined.
The router or other parts must fit pre-
cisely in the collet (shaft diameter 6/8)
of your electric power tool. Cutting tools
which do not fit precisely in the collet of the
electric power tool turn unevenly, vibrate strong-
ly and can lead to a loss of control.
Always switch on the electrical power
tool before placing it against the work-
piece. There is also the risk of kickback if the
electric power tool becomes caught in the
work-piece.
Keep your hands away from the cut-
ting area and the router. Keep your
second hand on the additional handle
or on the engine housing. If you hold the
router with both hands, they cannot be injured
by the router.
Never use on metal objects, nails or
screws. The router can become damaged
and this may lead to higher vibrations.
Use suitable detectors in order to look
for hidden supply lines, or consult your
local power authority. Contact with elec-
tric lines can lead to fire and electric shocks.
Damage to a gas line can lead to explosions.
Breaking a water line can cause damages.
Original accessories / tools
Use only the accessories and attachments
detailed in the operating instructions,
or those which are compatible with
the device.
