The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration

emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual. General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoorENGLISH

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 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. b) 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. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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. d) 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. e) Maintain power tools. 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. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for Compact Routers

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Hold power tools by recommended 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 some exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the tool.

• Maintain firm grip with both hands on router to resist starting torque.

• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under the workpiece for any reason. Keep the router base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting. These precautions will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of the router bases. The motor is not designed to be handheld.

• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.

• Check to see that the cord will not snag or impede the routing operation.

• 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 head 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.

• ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing cutters.

• Keep hands clear of cutter when motor is running to prevent personal injury.

• Never touch the cutter immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.

• 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 router cutters with a diameter in excess of 30 mm in this tool.

• Avoid Climb-Cutting (cutting in direction opposite that shown in fig. 12). 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.

• Always use straight-cutters, rabbet-cutters, profile cutters, slotter cutters or grooved knives with a shank diameter of 6–8 mm which corresponds to the size of the collet in your tool.

and marked accordingly.

WARNING: Never use cutters with

a diameter exceeding the maximum diameter indicated in the technical data. Residual Risks 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 flying particles. – Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation. – Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

NOTE: If additional clamping strength is required, press the lock lever further to tighten in the clockwise direction.

4. Depressing the plunge lock lever will disable the

locking mechanism allowing the router cutter to disengage from the work piece.

5. Turn the router off.

Operation: All Bases DIRECTION OF FEED (FIG. 12) The direction of feed is very important when routing and can make the difference between a successful job and a ruined project. The figures show the proper direction of feed for some typical cuts. A general rule to follow is to move the router in a counterclockwise direction on an outside cut and a clockwise direction on an inside cut. Shape the outside edge of a piece of stock by following these steps:

1. Shape the end grain, left to right

2. Shape the straight grain side moving left to right

3. Cut the other end grain side

4. Finish the remaining straight grain edge

CHOOSING ROUTER SPEED (FIG. 1) Refer to the Speed Selection Chart to choose a router speed. Turn the variable speed dial (c) to control router speed.

The compact routers are equipped with electronics to provide a soft start feature that minimizes the start up torque of the motor. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (FIG. 1) This router is equipped with a variable speed dial (c) with an infinite number of speeds between 16000 and 27000 RPM. Adjust the speed by turning the variable speed dial (c). NOTICE: In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent tool damage. The compact routers are equipped with electronics to monitor and maintain the speed of the tool while cutting.
