shocks.
8.2Useclampsoranotherpracticalwayto
securetheworkpiecefirmly.Holdingthe

7
workbyhandoragainstthebodyleavesit
unstableandmayleadtolossofcontrol.
8.3Routerbitsandotheraccessoriesmust
fitexactlyinthecolletofthepowertool.
Routerbitsthatdonotfitcorrectlyinthe
toolrotateirregularly,vibrateheavilyand
canshootout,leadingtopossiblelossoflife.
8.4Makesurethecuttingtoolisrotating
beforeitisappliedtotheworkpiece.
Otherwisethereisadangerofkickback
whenthecuttingtooljamsintheworkpiece.
8.5Keephandsawayfromtheroutingarea
andtherouterbitwhilstthemachineisin
operation.Whenbothhandsareholdingthe

8.6NevercutoverMetalobject,nailsor
screws.Therouterbitcanbecomedamaged
andleadtoincreasedvibrationsand
kickback.
8.7Usesuitabledetectorstodetermineif
anyutilitylinesarehiddenintheworkarea.
Contactwithelectriclinescanleadtofire
andelectricshock.Damagingagaslinecan
leadtoexplosions.Penetratingawaterline
causespropertydamageandmaycause
electricshock.
8.8Donotusebluntordamagedrouterbits.
Bluntordamagedrouterbitscauseincreased
friction,canbecomejammedandleadto
imbalance.
8.9Alwayswaituntilthemachinehascome
toacompletestopbyitselfbeforeplacingit
down.Thetoolinsertcanjamandleadto
lossofcontroloverthepowertool.If
anythingisusedtostopthecuttingtoolfrom
