The term “power tool”
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)
a) Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)
flammable liquids,P
fumes.
c) Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2)
a)
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) W
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
device (RCD) protected supplyUse of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools tha
switch on invites accidents.
d) A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Keep your hair,
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
moving parts.
g)
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4)
a) The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) An
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
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.
WARNING: When used in
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
5) Service
a)
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Routers
WARNING!
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only
contact its own cord. Cutting a
tool “live”
• 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 the replacement of the supply cord is necessary,
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual current
device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
a)
and protective clothing including safety gloves
b)
c)
d)
have the correct ampere rating for the tool
e)
f) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or pipes are below the surface
of the work area. Consult utility companies for assistance if necessaryContact
with electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire. Damaging a gas pipe can lead to
explosion. Contact with water lines can lead to major property damage

h)
i) Before use,Replace damaged or
cracked bits immediately
j) Ensure router cutters/bits are sharp and maintained correctly Dull cutting edges can
lead to uncontrolled situations including stalling, increased heat and possible injury
k)
with any work
l) Keep handles and gripping surf
the tool can be securely held in use
m)
could indicate an improperly installed bit
n)
o) Hold the auxiliary
handle or an insulated gripping surface with your second hand
p)
q)
r) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock position
s) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least as high as the maximum
speed of the power tool
t) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation. Do not handle immediately
after use to avoid risk of burns
u)
v) The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched to the exact same size collet
fitted to the router Incorrectly fitted router cutter/bits will rotate irregularly and ha
increased vibration that could lead to loss of control

x)
cutter to dictate the speed of cut. DO NOT force the tool and overload the motor
y) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain clear to read and are
replaced if marked or damaged
z) When operating the router
workpiece and causing loss of control. Always ensure the router is firmly held and the
on/off switch is immediately released in such circumstances
• After switching on the router
and there is no additional vibration due to the router bit being incorrectly fitted.
Operating the router with an incorrectly fitted router bit can lead to loss of control and
severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a diameter greater than 2”
(50mm). Use very slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow cuts to avoid overloading the
motor
