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.

walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.
Always make sure the work surface is
free from nails and other foreign objects.

the tool in the other hand when in use.

bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
Safety Rules for Routers
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material.
Always hold the tool with two hands
during start-up
The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates to
the direction of bit rotation. When viewing
the tool from the top, the bit rotates
clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counter-clockwise.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care.
