Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following
safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or physical injury:
Make sure the voltage corresponds to the type label on the unit.
Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities or lack of know-
how and/or lack of knowledge are not allowed to use the unit, unless they
are supervised for their safety by a qualified person or are briefed by the
responsible person how to use the unit.
Before starting up, make sure the milling cutter (12) is firmly positioned
and secured into the collets.
Do not wear gloves while working with the machine; gloves may be caught
in the milling cutter and lead to severe injuries.
The maximum indicated limit rotation speed of the milling cutter must not
be exceeded.
Milling must always be carried out against the direction of rotation (cutter-
rotation) of the milling cutter.
The milling cutter must be running at full speed before lowering into the
work piece.
When operating the machine, take great care and always hold the router
handles firmly with both hands. Always provide for a secure footing when
working.
Beware of the reaction torque of the machine, particularly if the milling
cutter becomes jammed in the work piece.
On completion of work, allow the machine to slide back to its initial position
by releasing the retaining lever.
Make yourself familiar with your working area and be alert for possible
hazards, which you might not hear due to machine noise.
Caution: Allow for run down time of cutter after turning router off. Wait for
the machine to come to a complete stop before removing from the work
piece.
Never attempt to slow the router down with your hands.
Do not touch the cutter immediately after operation; it may be extremely
hot and could burn you.
Never stop the router by applying lateral pressure to the cutter.
