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 or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
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.

EN - T18S/R14
-13-
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 and/or battery pack, 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 powersource and/
or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool 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) Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,

EN - T18S/R14
-14-
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid maybe
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Compact Routers
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• DO NOT cut metal.
• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. This will enable
better control of the tool.
• Maintain 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 bit manufacturer’s speed
recommendations as some bit 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 bit manufacturer.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
under the workpiece for any reason. Keep the
router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when
cutting.
• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted
in one of the router bases. The motor is not
designed to be handheld.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload
motor.
• Use sharp bits. Dull bits 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 bit is still
spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause
injury or damage.
• Be sure that the router bit is clear of the
workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is
in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts it
could make the router jump, causing damage or injury.
• ALWAYS remove the battery before making
adjustments or changing bits.
• Keep hands clear of bits when motor is running
to prevent personal injury.
• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may
be extremely hot.
• Provide clearance under workpiece for router bit
when through-cutting.
• Tighten collet nut securely to prevent the bit
from slipping.
• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
• Do not use router bits with a diameter in excess
of 35 mm in this tool.
• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction opposite
than shown in Figure 20a). 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.
• Always use straight-cutters, rabbet-cutters, profile
cutters, slotter cutters or grooved knives with a shank
diameter that corresponds to the size of the collet in
your tool.
• Always use bits suitable for a speed of min. 30000
min-1 and marked accordingly.
• 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.
• Before starting the motor clear the work area of all
foreign objects.
• Always keep the chip shield (if included) clean
and in place.
• Do not press spindle lock button while the motor
is running. Doing so can damage the spindle
lock.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from
nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail
can cause the bit and the tool to jump.

buildings in winter), or reach or exceed 40ºC
(104ºF) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs
are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the
skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and
water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water
over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery
electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do
not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged
battery packs should be returned to service centre for
recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or
carry the battery pack so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example,
do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knocked over.
Battery Operation
Charge Status
To display the amount of charge left in the battery, press
the charge level indicator button, (Fig.2). Fig. 2a shows
the relation between the LED indication and charge left.

EN - T18S/R14
-18-
NOTE: The battery charge level indicator is only an
indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does
not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation
based on product components, temperature and end-
user application.
Self-Discharge
A lithium battery can self discharge and lose its stored
charge. Typically it can lose approximately 5% of its
charge in the first month after fully charging (when stored
at room temperature), and then loses it by a further 3%
per month. When stored at higher temperatures the self-
discharge rate will be accelerated.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials.
When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
Trend batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards
which include UN Recommendations on the Transport
of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport
Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations,
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)
Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been
tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on
the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and
Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a Trend battery pack will
be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated
Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments
containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating
greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being
shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating
marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation
complexities, Trend does not recommend air shipping
lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour
rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can
be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the
battery pack is no greater than 100 Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper’s
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labelling/marking and documentation
requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual
is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate
at the time the document was created. However, no
warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the
applicable regulations.
Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store battery
packs at room temperature when not in use.
For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the
labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the
following pictographs: -
Read instruction manual before use.
