17.
Do not force the 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.
18.
Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
19.
Disconnect the Power Cord 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.
20.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
22.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
23.
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
24.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
25.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ROUTERS
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2.
WARNING: Under no circumstance is the Router base ever to be removed from
the Router in order to use bits that are too large to use with the base assembly
attached. The removal of the Router base and using the Router “Free Hand” can lead
to SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.
3.
WARNING: This Router has sharp, fast-moving parts.
MISUSE CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
