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.
EN - T1
• 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:
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
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage
only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Your tool is double insulated in accordance with
EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only
by Trend Tool Technology ltd. or an authorised service
organisation.
WARNING:
the earth terminal. Follow the fitting instructions supplied
with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse for 230V
U.K. plug: 13A
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
if an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool
(see Technical Data).The minimum conductor size is
-13-
We recommend the use of
