e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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. Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions, 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 quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
The allowable speed of the router bit must
be at least as high as the maximum speed
listed on the power tool. Accessories that
rotate faster than permitted can be destroyed.
Router bits or other accessories must fit
exactly in the tool holder (collet) of your
machine. Routing bits that do not fit precisely in
the tool holder of the machine rotate irregularly,
vibrate heavily and can lead to loss of control.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback when the cutting tool jams in the work-
piece.
Keep your hands away from the routing area
and the router bit. Hold the auxiliary handle
or the motor housing with your second hand.
When both hands hold the machine, they cannot
be injured by the router bit.
Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws.
The router bit can become damaged and lead to
increased vibrations.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting tool may contact hid-
den wiring or its own power cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes prop-
erty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not use blunt or damaged router bits.
Blunt or damaged router bits cause increased fric-
tion, can become jammed and lead to imbalance.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide for
a secure stance. The power tool is guided more
secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materi-
als are particularly dangerous. Dust from light
alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.

warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for routing grooves, edges,
profiles and elongated holes as well as for copy rout-
ing in wood, plastic and light building materials, while
resting firmly on the workpiece.
With reduced speed and with appropriate routing
bits, non-ferrous alloys can also be machined.
