the work by your hand or against the body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
The permitted speed of the cutting bit must be at least
u
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. If cutting bits run faster than their rated speed, they
may break and fly off.
Routers and other accessories must be able to fit ex-
u
actly in the tool holder (collet) of your power tool. Ap-
plication tools that do not fit exactly in the tool holder of
the power tool will turn unevenly, vibrate heavily and may
cause a loss of control.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Never rout over metal objects, nails or screws. The
u
router could become damaged and cause increased vibra-
tion.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
u
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
Do not use blunt or damaged routers. Blunt or damaged
u
routers cause increased friction, create imbalances and
may become jammed.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products.
u
This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
