formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety information for routers
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, be-
u
cause the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by your hand or against the body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
The permitted speed of the application tool must be at
u
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. If accessories run faster than their rated
speed, they may break and fly off.
Routers and other accessories must be able to fit ex-
u
actly in the tool holder (collet) of your power tool. Ap-
plication 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 work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Never rout over metal objects, nails or screws. The
u
router could become damaged and cause increased vibra-
tion.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany 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 dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Do not use blunt or damaged routers. Blunt or damaged
u
routers cause increased friction, create imbalances and
may become jammed.
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 au-
thorised 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.
