GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.

EN - T1
-12-
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power 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) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits,
etc. in accordance with these 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

Safety Instructions for Routers
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
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 electrical shock.
• 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.
• DO NOT cut metal.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. This will enable better control of the tool.
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the tool
to resist starting torque. Maintain a firm grip on the
tool at all times while operating.
• Always follow the router cutter manufacturer’s
speed recommendations as some cutter
designs require specific speeds for safety or
performance. If you are unsure of the proper speed
or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the
cutter manufacturer.
• Keep hands away from cutting area above
and below the base. Never reach under the
workpiece for any reason. Keep the router base
firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting.
• Never use the motor body when it is not inserted
in one of the router bases. The motor is not
designed to be handheld.
• Never touch the cutter immediately after use. It
may be extremely hot.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload
motor.
• Use sharp cutters. Dull cutters may cause the
router to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely
before you lay the router down. If the cutter is still
spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause
injury or damage.
• Be sure that the router cutter is clear of the
workpiece before starting the motor. If the cutter
is in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts,
it could make the router jump, causing damage or
injury.
• Provide clearance under workpiece for router
cutter when through-cutting.
• Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the cutter
from slipping.
• Never tighten collet nut without a cutter.
• Do not use cutters with a diameter in excess of
35mm in this tool.
• The permitted speed of the router cutter must
be at least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. If cutters run faster than their
rated speed, they may break and fly off.
• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction opposite
than shown in Fig 21). Climb-cutting increases the
chance for loss of control resulting in possible
injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing around
a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control
of router. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal
material with each pass.
• Do not hand-hold the router in an upside-down
or horizontal position. The motor can separate from
the base if not properly attached according to the
instructions.
• Always use cutters with a shank diameter that
corresponds to the size of the collet in your tool.
• Before starting the motor clear the work area of
all foreign objects.
RESIDUAL RISKS
WARNING: We recommend the use of
a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA or less.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety devices,
certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during
operation
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Safety

Dust Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead containing coatings
and some wood types, can be harmful to one’s health.
Breathing in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood
treatment additives.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material
being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental
to health or carcinogenic, use dust class M vacuum
cleaner.
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce
the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved
dust mask.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor
designed in compliance with the applicable directives
regarding dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum
hoses of most common vacuum cleaners will fit directly
into the dust extraction outlet.

Setting Depth of Cut on Plunge Base
- (Fig. 20)
The rotating turret stop screws can be used for pre-
setting up to three depths of cut. The height can be
adjusted using a screwdriver and an 8mm A/F spanner.
• Pre-set the 3-way turret stop as required
• Undo the thumb knob for securing the depth stop.
• Unlock the plunge locking lever and lower the machine
slowly until the cutter just touches the workpiece and
secure it with the plunge locking lever
• Raise the depth stop for the depth of cut required,
using the scale. Clamp in place with the thumb knob.
The gap between the depth stop and the turret stop
screw determines the depth of cut.
The depth stop includes a micro adjustment facility.
• For fine depth adjustment, turn the micro adjuster knob
at the top of the depth stop
• To increase the depth, turn the head anti-clockwise. To
decrease the depth, turn the head clockwise 1 rotation
= 1mm
WARNING: DO NOT change the turret stop
while the router is running. This will place your hands too
near the cutter head.
CAUTION: Ensure that the plunge locking
lever is unlocked. Never use unnecessary force to rotate
the fine height adjuster mechanism.
CAUTION: Turn the router on before plunging
the cutter head into the workpiece.
