and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling  
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

qualified repair person using only identical  
replacement parts. This will ensure that the  
safety of the power tool is maintained.  
• Properly ground power cord.  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
should also be implemented – it prevents

Safety instructions for routers  
1. 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 electric shock.  
Power tool use and care  
1. 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.  
2. 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.  
2. 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.  
3. Let bit cool before touching, changing  
or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically  
while in use, and can burn you.  
4. Verify that the work surface has no  
hidden utility lines before cutting.  
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/  
or remove 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.  
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may  
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,  
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.  
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:  
4. 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.  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an  
extended period should first be examined by a  
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to  
ensure medical problems are not being caused or  
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who  
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past  
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,  
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.  
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such  
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),  
seek medical advice as soon as possible.  
5. 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.  
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges  
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces  
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,  
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.  
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the  
vibration effects on the user.
