11 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12 Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13 Do not overreach. Stand on both feet an keep pro-
per footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
14 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool use and care
15 Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
16 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
17 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.
18 Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19 Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
20 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
22 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 on
another tool.
Service
23 Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorised
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
Specific Safety Rule for Routers
25 Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
”live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ”live”
and shock the operator.
