SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1.Work Area

(1)Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

(2)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 of fumes.

(3)Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.Electrical Safety

(1)Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

(2)Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

(3)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

(4)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

(5)When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W- A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal Safety

(1)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tires or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

(2)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

(3)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.

4

English

(4)Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(6)Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

4.Tool Use and Care

(1)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.

(2)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.

(3)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.

(4)Disconnect the plug form 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.

(5)Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6)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.

(7)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.

(8)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 with another tool.

5.Service

(1)Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2)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 Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1.Hold tools 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.

2.ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods.

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

5

English

3.Handle the bits very carefully.

4.Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.

5.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.

6.Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

7.Keep hands away from rotating parts.

8.Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

9.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.

10.Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction.

11.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

12.Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece.

13.Do not touch the bit immediately after operation: it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

14.Always lead the power supply cord away from the tool towards the rear.

15.Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted in one of the router bases.

SECURITE

REGLES GENERALE DE SECURITE

AVERTISSEMENT: Lire et coxmprendre toutes les instructions.

Un non respect de toutes les instructions ci-dessous peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie et/ou de sérieuses blessures personnelles.

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

1.Zone de travail

(1)Garder la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les établis mal rangés et les zones sombres invitent aux accidents.

(2)Ne pas utiliser les outils motorisés dans une atmosphère explosive, telle qu’en présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussières. Les outils motorisés créent des étincelles qui risquent d’enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

(3)Tenir les spectateurs, les enfants et les visiteurs éloignés, lors de l’utilisation de l’outil motorisé. Une distraction peut faire perdre le contrôle de la machine.

2.Sécurité électrique

(1)Brancher les outils mis à la terre dans une prise correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux codes et ordonnances. Ne jamais retirer la lame de terre ni modifier la fiche de quelque façon que ce soit. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateurs de fiche. Si l’on n’est pas sûr que la prise soit correctement mise à la terre, consulter un électricien qualifié. Si les outils présentent un mauvais fonctionnement électrique ou tombent en panne, la mise à la terre offre un chemin de faible résistance qui permet d’éloigner l’électricité de l’utilisateur.

(2)Eviter tout contact corporel avec les surfaces mises à la terre telles que les canalisations, les radiateurs, les réchauds et les réfrigérateurs. Il y a un risque accru d’électrocution si son corps est mis à la terre.

(3)Ne pas exposer les outils motorisés à la pluie ou à l’humidité. De l’eau pénétrant à l’intérieur de l’outil motorisé augmente le risque d’électrocution.

(4)Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d’alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour porter les outils ou tirer sur la fiche du réceptacle. Garder le cordon à l’écart de la chaleur, de l’huile, des arêtes coupantes ou des pièces en mouvement. Remplacer les cordons endommagés immédiatement. Des cordons endommagés augmentent le risque d’électrocution.

(5)Lors de l’utilisation d’un outil motorisé, utiliser un cordon de rallonge extérieur marqué “W-A” ou “W”. Ces cordons sont prévus pour une utilisation extérieure et réduisent les risques d’électrocution.

3.Sécurité personnelle

(1)Rester sur ses gardes, regarder ce que l’on fait et utiliser son sens commun lors de l’utilisation d’un outil motorisé. Ne pas utiliser un outil en état de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention lors de l’utilisation de l’outil motorisé peut entraîner de sérieuses blessures personnelles.

(2)S’habiller correctement. Ne pas porter des vêtements larges ou des bijoux. Attacher les cheveux longs. Tenir ses cheveux, vêtements et ses gants éloignés des parties mobiles. Les vêtements larges, les bijoux et les cheveux longs peuvent se prendre dans les parties mobiles.

(3)Eviter tout démarrage accidentel. S’assurer que le l’interrupteur d’alimentation est sur la position d’arrêt avant de brancher la machine. Transporter l’appareil avec les doigts sur l’interrupteur d’alimentation ou brancher un outil avec l’interrupteur sur la position marche invite aux accidents.

(4)Retirer les clefs d’ajustement ou les commutateurs avant de mettre l’outil sous tension. Une clef qui est laissée attachée à une partie tournante de l’outil peut provoquer une blessure personnelle.

(5)Ne pas trop présumer de ses forces. Garder en permanence une position et un

équilibre correct. Une position et un équilibre correct permettent un meilleur contrôle de l’outil dans des situations inattendues.

(6)Utiliser un équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter une protection pour les yeux.

Utiliser un masque à poussière, des chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, un casque dur et une protection pour les oreilles dans les conditions appropriées.

4.Utilisation de l’outil et entretien

(1)Utiliser un étau ou toutes autres façons de fixer et maintenir la pièce à usiner sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre son corps est instable et peut conduire à une perte de contrôle de l’outil.

(2)Ne pas forcer sur l’outil. Utiliser l’outil correct pour l’application souhaitée. L’outil correct réalisera un meilleur et plus sûr travail dans le domaine pour lequel il a été conçu.

(3)Ne pas utiliser un outil s’il ne se met pas sous ou hors tension avec un interrupteur.

Un outil qui ne peut pas être commandé avec un interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

(4)Déconnecter la fiche de la source d’alimentation avant de réaliser tout ajustement, changement d’accessoires ou pour ranger l’outil. De telles mesures de sécurité réduisent le risque que l’outil ne démarre accidentellement.

(5)Ranger les outils inutilisés hors de la portée des enfants et des autres personnes inexpérimentées. Les outils sont dangereux dans les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.

(6)Entretenir les outils avec soin. Maintenir les outils de coupe affûtés et propres.

Des outils correctement entretenus, avec des tranchants bien affûtés, sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

(7)Vérifier les défauts d’alignement ou grippage des parties mobiles, les ruptures des pièces et toutes les autres conditions qui peuvent affecter le fonctionnement des outils. En cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil avant de l’utiliser. Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par des outils mal entretenus.

(8)Utiliser uniquement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant pur le modèle utilisé. Des accessoires qui peuvent convenir à un outil, peuvent devenir dangereux lorsqu’ils sont utilisés avec un autre outil.

5.Réparation

(1)La réparation de l’outil ne doit être réalisée uniquement par un réparateur qualifié.

Une réparation ou un entretien réalisé par un personnel non qualifié peut entraîner des risques de blessures.
