WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.

4. Special safety instructions
4.1 Safety instructions for routers
a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metalparts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
4.2 Additional safety instructions
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Wear ear protectors.
Wear protective goggles.
Use an extraction unit!
Disconnect from the mains power before any
maintenance or service work!
The knob handle must always be tightened well
when working with the router.
Smaller workpieces must be secured in such a way
that they do not get loose when working with the
router (e.g. using screw clamps).
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Keep your hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove debris and similar material only when the
machine is at a standstill.
Press the spindle locking button only when the
motor is at a standstill.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When
working, always make sure that no nails or other
similar materials are being cut into.
Do not try to machine extremely small workpieces.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. Do the
following to reduce exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials, such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
