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, re 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.
1) Work area safety
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. Unmodied 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 outdoor 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.
3) Personal safety
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 offposition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
ROUTER 1250W TTB591ROU
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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.
5) Service
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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR ROUTER
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. Router bits must not be removed while the machine is running.
4. Protect router bits against shocks and impacts.
5. Only use properly sharpened router bits, otherwise increased cutting force could
damage the workpiece.
6. Before use inspect the router bits for any damage. Do not use router bits, which are
cracked chipped or otherwise damaged.
7. Make sure that the workpiece is sufciently supported or clamped. Keep your hands
away from the surface to be cut.
8. When tting a router bit ensure that it is securely engaged within the collet and fully
tightened before use!
9. Make sure that router bit has been mounted and fastened correctly. Do not use
reducing rings or adapters to make the router bits t properly.
10. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when the machine is switched on.
11. When working with the machine always hold the machine rmly with both hands and
provide for a secure stance.
12. Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use
another protection for example an apron or helmet.
13. Always disconnect the plug from the socket before you carry out any work on the
machine. Only plug-in when the machine is switched off.
14. Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always lead the cable away
behind you.
15. Do not stop the router bits by hand after switching off.
16. The base plate must not be clamped down while the router bits is extended. Lowering
and raising the blade must be a smooth operation.
17. Always use the appropriate safety equipment that is required for the product. E.G.
Goggles / Safety Spectacles, Ear defenders (essential with tools with a noise rating of
over 80 dB(A)), Gloves for handling router bits and face masks. In all cases ensure that
the safety equipment is in good condition.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October 2012
now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the dust that they
breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone and
granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as concrete and
mortar. The silica is broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable Crystalline Silica
or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting, drilling and grinding.
