Additional Safety Rules For Routers - Freud FT3000VCE Instrucciones De Operación

4. Tool Use and Care
a) Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Securing the work with a clamp or vise frees both hands to operate the tool.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
b) Do not force tool. The power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
c) Use the correct tool for your application. Do not use tools for purposes for which they were
not intended.
d) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized Freud service center.
e) Disconnect the plug from the power source when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally and causing personal injury.
f) Store idle tools when not in use. Tools should be stored in a dry, high, or locked-up place
and out of the reach of children.
g) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired by and authorized Freud service center.
Inspect extension cords regularly and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil or grease. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
h) Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully inspected to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, mounting, and other conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized Freud
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
i) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used with
another tool.
5. Service
a) Tool service must be performed only by an Freud authorized service center. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
b) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
