Tool Use And Care; Specific Safety Rules For Routers - Surtek RR612 Manual De Instrucciones

TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will do
the job better and more safely at the rate that it
was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing the tool. This preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of accidental starting
of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in work pieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE: tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
ROUTERS
CAUTION: cutting bits coast after the router
is switched off.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
(handles) when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
16
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
the exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Maintain a firm grip on the router with both
hands to resist torque upon starting the router.
• Never attempt to use the router motor with-
out first installing it in an approved base. Failure
to heed this warning could result in personal in-
jury and damage to the motor.
• Do not hold the router by hand for use in an
upside-down or horizontal position. The router
motor can separate from the base if it is not
properly attached according to the instructions.
• Tighten the collet/nut securely to prevent the
cutting bit from slipping. If the collet/nut is not
securely tightened, the cutting bit may detach
during use, causing serious personal injury.
• Never tighten the collet/nut without a cutting
bit installed in the collet /nut.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform,
and hold the work piece rigidly in position.
Holding the work piece by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Never hold the piece being cut in your hands
or across your legs. It is important to support
and clamp the work piece properly In order to
minimize body exposure, bit binding, and loss
of control.
• Always keep the chip shield clean and in place.
• Stay alert and clear the router cutting-bit path
of any obstructions before starting the motor.
Keep the cutting area clear of all foreign objects
while the router motor is running.
• Check to see that the cord will not "hang up"
during routing operations.
• Make sure that the cutting bit is not in contact
with the work piece before the switch is turned
on. The bit must always be running at full speed
before contacting the work piece.
• Keep hands clear of the cutting bit when the
router motor is running to prevent personal in-
jury.
• Provide clearance under the work piece for the
router cutting bit when through-cutting.
• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not over-
load the motor.
• Use only sharp cutting bits that are not
chipped or cracked. Blunt cutting bits will cause
stalling and can burn the work piece.
• Never use this router motor with a cutting bit
larger than 3-1/2 inches in diameter.
• Always use cutting bits that are designed for
this router. Never use cutting bits that are larger
in diameter than the opening in the router sub-
