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.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4. 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.

5. 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.

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

7. 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.

8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

9. 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.

10. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated

residual current of 30mA or less is always recommended.

Personal safety

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

16. 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.

17. 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.

Power tool use and care

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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.

23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

24. 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.

Service

25. 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.

26. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

GEB018-2

ROUTER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold power 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. 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.

3. Wear hearing protection during extended

period of operation.

4. Handle the bits very carefully.

5. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage

before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.

6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

7. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

9. Make sure the bit is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

10. 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.

11. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the

feed direction.

12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

13. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come

to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece.

14. Do not touch the bit immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with

thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base.

16. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the

correct shank diameter and which are suitable for the speed of the tool.

17. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator

for the material and application you are working with.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Adjusting the depth of cut

1 2

009857

Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock lever to lock the tool body. Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise. Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting bolt. Align the depth pointer with the "0" graduation. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by the depth pointer. While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the adjusting knob (1 mm per turn). By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you can fasten the stopper pole firmly. Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by loosening the lock lever and then lowering the tool body until the stopper pole makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt of the stopper block.

Nylon nut

009855

The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut.

CAUTION:

• Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The bit will

protrude dangerously.
