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.

Page 4

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.

GEB018-4

ROUTER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power 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 your hand or

against the 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.

Page 5

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. Use bits of the correct shank diameter

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

4 5

013291

Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. Press the lock lever down to lock the tool body. While pressing the fast-feed button, move the stopper pole up or down until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm per turn).

CAUTION:

• The depth of cut should not be more than 20 mm

at a pass when cutting grooves. For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.

Nylon nut

For tool without the knob

The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The bit will protrude dangerously.

For tool with the knob

013292

By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is retracted more than required in relation to the base plate surface, turn the knob to lower the upper limit. Do not lower the knob too low. The bit will protrude dangerously.

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete. When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

001984

NOTE:

• Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor

quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to check dimensions.

001985

NOTE:

• When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide,

be sure to install it on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
