Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
▶ 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
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because 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 support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it 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.

power
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
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.
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, 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
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.
Safety Rules for Routers
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
