facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 and/or the battery pack 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. 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.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
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.
Additional Safety for Routers
a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces to prevent electric shock if
the tool cuts through its own power cord or other power cable
b) Clamp the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or
against the body may lead to loss of control
c) Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust
mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
d) Cloths, cord, string etc should never be left around the work area
e) Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool rating plate voltage
f) Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in a safe electrical
condition, and have the correct ampere rating for the tool
g) Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating
h) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or pipes are below
the surface of the work area. Consult utility companies for assistance if
necessary. Contact 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
i) Ensure embedded objects such as nails and screws have been removed
from the workpiece before commencing operation
j) Handle router bits with care as they can be extremely sharp
k) Before use, check the bit carefully for signs of damage or cracks. Replace
damaged or cracked bits immediately
l) Ensure router cutters/bits are sharp and maintained correctly. Dull cutting
edges can lead to uncontrolled situations including stalling, increased heat
and possible injury
m) ALWAYS use both handles and maintain a firm grip on the router before
proceeding with any work
n) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease to
ensure the tool can be securely held in use
o) Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for a while.
Vibration could indicate an improperly installed bit
p) Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed
q) Keep your hands away from the routing area and router bit cutter. Hold the
auxiliary handle or an insulated gripping surface with your second hand
r) NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
s) Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
t) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock
position
u) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least as high as the
maximum speed of the power tool
v) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation. Do not handle
immediately after use to avoid risk of burns
w) Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible materials
x) 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 have increased vibration that could lead to loss of control
y) DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch the tool into bit
change mode while the router is operating
z) Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece, allowing the router
bit cutter to dictate the speed of cut. DO NOT force the tool and overload the
motor
aa) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain clear to read and
are replaced if marked or damaged
bb) When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit cutter stalling in the
workpiece and causing loss of control. Always ensure the router is firmly held
and the on/off switch is immediately released in such circumstances
cc) After switching on the router, check the router bit is rotating evenly (not
'wobbling') 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
dd) 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
ee) ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete standstill
before removing the machine from the workpiece
ff) Disconnect from power before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic. Some materials may be
chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials
may contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other chemicals.
Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to
get onto skin or eyes and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption
of harmful chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust
mask and dust extraction system where possible. Where there is a higher frequency of
exposure, it is more critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of
personal protection is used.

Intended Use

Hand-held plunge router for use with ¼", ½", 8mm, 10mm and 12mm shank router bits
(depending on the collet installed). Used for cutting profiles, grooves, edges and elongated
holes in natural and composite wood. Also used with guide bushes and templates for
cutting of shapes, following patterns, as well as for stationary installation in suitable router
table systems.
