GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to

your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)

power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are

tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected

situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage 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. Properly

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 instructions,

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

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR

ROUTER AND TRIMMER

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, because the cutter may contact

its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”

and shock the operator.

2. Use clamps or another practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by your

hand or against the body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

3. Draw attention to the necessity for using

bits of the correct shank diameter suitable

for the speed of the tool.

4. Recommendation that the tool always be

supplied via a residual current device with a

rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

both hands.

5) Slowly move the tool into an upright position and allow the

bit to move downwards while cutting into the material.

6) After the bit penetrates the material fully, gently move the

tool in a clockwise direction. Use slow and constant pressure

as you cut and let the tool do the work. (See Fig. K2)

NOTE: Always cut in a clockwise direction, except when

cutting drywall/plasterboard.

7) Switch off the tool after finished cutting. Wait until the tool

stopped completely, remove it from the workpiece.

3. CUT PLUG SOCKET OPENINGS IN DRYWALL/

PLASTERBOARD

WARNING:

• Do not make cuts around openings or installations that

contain live cables or in walls which may contain cables in.

• Make sure the circuit breakers have been switched off

or the fuses have been removed in order to disconnect the

electrical circuit for the area you are working in.

1) Insert all the cables into back boxes before installing

drywall/plasterboard. Keep the cables as far back as possible

in order to avoid being cut while the tool is working.

2) Mark the center of the plug socket in the side of the sheet

of drywall/plasterboard that is facing you.

3) Insert the cutting bit, adjust the depth of the cutting bit.

Make sure the bit will protrude 4mm plus the thickness of the

drywall/plasterboard.

4) Hold the tool with both hands and switch it on.

5) Cut into the drywall/plasterboard at the point marking the

center of the plug socket.

6) Gentle move the bit towards the right until you feel and

hear it touch the inner edge of the back box.

7) Follow the inner edge of the box and move your tool

upwards. Keep a gentle pressure on the edge of the box.

When you feel the bit reaches the top-right corner, move the

tool to the left.

8) Keep a gentle pressure on the edge of the box and follow

the edge anti-clockwise until you have cut out the opening.

9) Switch off the tool after finished cutting. Wait until the tool

stopped completely, remove it from the workpiece.

4. USE THE CIRCULAR CUTTER

Use the circular cutter to cut circulars.

1) Mark the center of the circle you are going to cut and make

a Ø4.76mm guide hole for the center guide pivot.

2) Insert the cutting bit, adjust the depth of the cutting bit.

Make sure the bit will protrude 4mm plus the thickness of the

workpiece.

3) Loosen the pivot locking screw and slide it to adjust the

radius of the circle, tighten the screw again.

Fig.K2

Fig.L

4) Position the edge of the cutting base above the workpiece

at a 45°angle.

5) Switch on the tool.

6) Slowly move the tool into an upright position and allow the

bit to move downwards while cutting into the material. Make

sure the pivot is inside the guide hole.

7) After the bit penetrates the material fully, gently move the

tool in a clockwise direction. Use slow and constant pressure

as you cut and let the tool do the work. (See Fig. L)

8) Cut out the circle, keeping the tool in an upright position

and the control handle flat above the workpiece. Carefully

rotate the circular cutter and the tool around the center

guide pivot.

9) Switch off the tool after finished cutting. Wait until the tool

stopped completely, remove it from the workpiece.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR TOOL

Always use both hands on the tool for greater control and to

prevent the bit from dropping off the workpiece.

The thickness of the workpiece should never exceed the

length of the cutting grooves.

When cutting a hole in a vertical surface, always start and

end the cutting process at the top of the hole, not the bottom.

It will prevent the material you cut out from fall away from the

rotating bit.

Always cut in a clockwise direction except when cutting

drywall/plasterboard. Cutting in anti-clockwise direction may

lose control of the tool.

You can use the 1/4” wood and multi-purpose bit to cut

wood up to 20mm thickness. Do not force the tool while

cutting. It can help to prolong the lifetime of the bits.

You can use the smaller wood and multi-purpose bits for

thinner materials, up to 8mm thickness.

When cutting in wood, there will be a slight pull to the left

because of the rotating bit. If you apply too much force, the

deviation will be more obvious.

When you are using the tool to carve glass, place the

workpiece on a sack of wheat in order to obtain a stable work

platform.

If the tool overheats, it may stop automatically to avoid being

damaged. Allow it to cool down for 30 minutes before re-

starting.
