Read and understand instructions supplied
with power tool, attachment and cutter.
Always remove the plug from the socket
before making any adjustments to the
machine.
Disconnect power tool and attachment
from power supply when not in use, before
servicing, when making adjustments
and when changing accessories such as
cutters. Ensure switch is in ”off” position
and cutter has stopped rotating.
Do not wear loose clothing. Make sure
baggy sleeves are rolled up and ties are
removed. Ensure long hair is tied back.
Always trail the cable away from the
working area.
Always keep the area around the work
piece and the floor clear of obstacles.
The level of noise when routing may
exceed 85 dB(A) and ear defenders should
be worn.
Always wear eye protection in the form of
goggles, safety spectacles or a visor.
Always wear a respirator or dust protection
mask. Dust masks/filters should be
changed regularly. Fit dust extraction.
All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
must meet current UK and EU legislation.
Trial cuts should be made on waste
material before starting any project.
Always clamp securely the material being
machined.
Never leave the power tool unattended
when it is running.
Always wait until the spindle stops rotating
before making any adjustments.
Periodically check all nuts and bolts to
make sure they are tight and secure.
Always keep guards in place and in good
working order.
Only use cutting tools for woodworking that
meet EN847-1/2 safety standards and any
subsequent amendments.
Hand held power tools produce different
