STATUS RH750CE [6/40] Safety instructions for routers

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTERS

• 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 op-erations dierent from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

• Only hold the power tool by the insulated handle areas as the router may touch the

tool’s mains cable. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the device to

become live and lead to electric shock.

• Fix and secure the work piece to a stable surface using clamps or other means. When

only securing the work piece by hand or against your body it will remain unstable,

which could lead to loss of control.

• Wear a dust mask.

• The permissible rotational speed of the router tool must be at least as high as the

maximum speed indicated on the electrical power tool. Parts used at higher than

permissible speeds may be ruined.

• The router or other parts must t precisely in the collet (shaft diameter 6/8/12) of your

electric power tool. Cutting tools which do not t precisely in the collet of the electric

power tool turn unevenly, vibrate strongly and can lead to a loss of control.

• Always switch on the electrical power tool before placing it against the workpiece.

There is also the risk of kickback if the electric power tool becomes caught in the work-

piece.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the router. Keep your second hand

on the additional handle or on the engine housing. If you hold the router with both

hands, they cannot be injured by the router.

• Never use on metal objects, nails or screws. The router can become damaged and this

may lead to higher vibrations.

• Use suitable detectors in order to look for hidden supply lines, or consult your local

power authority. Contact with electric lines can lead to re and electric shocks. Damage

to a gas line can lead to explosions. Breaking a water line can cause damages.
