17. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool
is used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.
18. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired.
19. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool,
check that there are no damaged parts. If a part is
slightly damaged, carefully determine if it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other
conditions that may affect the operation of the tool.
A part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service facility, unless
otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does
not turn the tool on and off correctly.
20. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
21. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other
than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.
Additional safety rules for router tables
• Fully assemble and tighten all fasteners required for
this table. Do not use the router table until it is fully
assembled. Check the table and the router to make sure
fasteners are still tight before each use.
• Make sure the router table is secured to a solid, flat and
level surface, and will not tip during use.
• Make sure the router is not plugged into a power outlet
when installing it on the table, making adjustments,
or changing accessories. The router could start
accidentally.
• Make sure the router is fully and securely attached to
the router table. Periodically check connections for
tightness. The router motor can vibrate loose during use
and fall from the table.
• Do not use the router table without the guard. The
guard assists in keeping hands away from unintended
contact with the rotating bit.
• Never place your fingers near a spinning bit or under
the guard when the router is plugged in. Never hold
the work piece on the outfeed side of the bit. Pressing
the work piece against the outfeed side can result in
material binding and possible kickback.
• Use the router to cut and shape wood. Do not cut or
shape metals. Make sure each work piece is free of nails
and other obstructions.
• Install the bit according to the instructions in the
router manual. Make sure the bit is securely sealed in
the collet before making any cuts. Do not use bits that
have a cutting diameter that exceeds the clearance hole
in the table insert.
• Do not use dull or damaged bits. Dull bits may cause
the bit to break or the material to kickback. Damaged
bits can snap during use.
• Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the
material. The cutting edge may grab the material and
cause you to lose control of the work piece.
• Use the router table to cut flat, straight, and squared
materials. Do not cut warped, wobbly, or otherwise
unstable material. If the material is slightly curved but
otherwise stable, cut the material with the concave side
against the table or fence. Cutting the material with
the concave side up or away from the table may cause
warped material to roll and kickback.
• Feed the material against the rotation of the bit. The
bit rotates anti-clockwise as viewed from the top of
the table. Feeding the work in the wrong direction
