NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The vibration emission during actual
WARNING:
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
Be sure to identify safety measures
WARNING:
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Router safety warnings
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
1.
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
2.
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
The cutter bit shank must match the designed
3.
collet chuck.
Only use a bit that is rated at least equal to the
4.
maximum speed marked on the tool.
Wear hearing protection during extended
5.
period of operation.
Handle the router bits very carefully.
6.
Check the router bit carefully for cracks or
7.
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged bit immediately.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
8.
nails from the workpiece before operation.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Make sure the router bit is not contacting the
11.
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wob-
bling that could indicate improperly installed bit.
13. Be careful of the router bit rotating direction
and the feed direction.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15. Always switch off and wait for the router bit to
come to a complete stop before removing the
tool from workpiece.
16. Do not touch the router bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
17. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with
thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.
18. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
19. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
20. Place the tool on stable area. Otherwise falling
accident may occur and cause an injury.
21. Keep cord away from your foot or any objects.
Otherwise an entangled cord may cause a falling
accident and result in personal injury.
