including the following should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Also observe
any applicable additional safety rules.
Read the following safety instructions
before attempting to operate this product.
PLEASE KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.
Users must be competent with
woodworking equipment before using our
products.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Residual Risk. Although the safety
instructions and operating manuals for
our tools contain extensive instructions on
safe working with power tools, every
power tool involves a certain residual risk
which cannot be completely excluded by
safety mechanisms. Power tools must
therefore always be operated with
caution!
General
1. Disconnect power tool and attachment
from power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when making
adjustments and when changing
accessories such as bits. Ensure
switch is in “off” position. Always
ensure bit has stopped rotating.
2. Always mount the power tool,
accessory or attachment in conformity
with the instructions. Only use
attachment and accessories specified
in the power tool manual. The tool or
attachment should not be modified or
used for any application other than
that for which it was designed. Do not
force tool.
3. Keep children and visitors away. Do
not let children or visitors touch the
tool, accessory or attachment. Keep
children and visitors away from work
area. Make the workshop child proof
with padlock and master switch.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellry, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear is
recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
5. Consider working environment. Do
not use the product in the rain or in a
damp environment. Keep work area
well lit. Do not use power tools near
gasoline or flammable liquids. Keep
workshop at a comfortable
temperature so your hands are not
cold. Connect machines that are used
in the open via a residual current
device (RCD) with an actuation
current of 30 mA maximum. Use only
extension cords that are approved for
outdoor use.
6. The accessory or attachment must be
kept level and stable at all times.
7. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
workshops and benches can cause
injuries. Ensure there is sufficient
room to work safely.
8. Secure idle tools. When not in use,
tools should be stored in a dry and
high or locked up place, out of reach
of children.
9. For best control and safety use both
hands on the power tool and
attachment. Keep both hands away
from cutting area. Always wait for the
spindle and bit to stop rotating before
making any adjustments.
10. Always keep guards in place and in
good working order.
11. Remove any nails, staples and other
metal parts from the workpiece.
12. Maintain tools and bits with care.
Keep bits sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Do not use
damaged bits. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
13. Maintain accessories. Do not use
damaged accessories. Only use
accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
14. Check damaged parts. Before
operation inspect the attachment, the
power tool, the cord, extension cord
and the plug carefully for signs of
damage. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage,
mounting and any other conditions
that may effect its operation. Have any
damage repaired by an Authorised
Service Agent before using the tool or
accessory. Protect tools from impact
and shock.
15. Do not use tool if switch does not turn
it on or off. Have defective switches
replaced by an Authorised Service
Agent
16. Don't over reach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Do not use
awkward or uncomfortable hand
positions.
17. Don’t abuse the cord. Never carry
power tool or accessory by cord or
pull it to disconnect from the socket.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Always trail the power cord
away from the work area.
18. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
19. Check all fixing and fastening nuts,
bolts and screws on power tool,
attachment and cutting tools before
use to ensure they are tight and
secure. Periodically check when
machining over long periods.
20. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
tools when you are tired, under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
21. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
for eye, ear and respiratory protection
must be worn. All PPE must meet
current legislation.
22. Do not leave tools running
unattended. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
23. Always clamp workpiece being
machined securely.
24. Only use cutting tools for
woodworking that meet current safety
standards, and any subsequent
amendments.
25. Vibration levels. Hand held power
tools produce different vibration
levels. You should always refer to the
specifications and relevant safety
guidelines.
Routing Safety
1. Read and understand instructions
supplied with power tool, attachment
and bit.
2. Keep hands, hair and clothing clear of
the bit.
3. Remove adjusting keys and
wrenches. Check to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the router tool, bit and
attachment before turning router on.
Make sure bit can rotate freely.
4. Noise. Take appropriate measures
for the protection of hearing if the
sound pressure of 85dB(A) is
exceeded. Routing sound pressure
may exceed 85dB(A), so ear
protection must be worn.
5. Eye protection. Always wear eye
protection in the form of safety
goggles, spectacles or visors to
protect the eyes.
6. Respiratory protection. Wear a face
or dust mask, or powered respirator.
Dust masks/filters should be changed
regularly.
7. Do not switch router on with the bit
touching the workpiece. At the end of
the cut, release the router plunge and
allow spindle to stop rotating. Never
use the spindle lock as a brake
MANU-T4-USA v2.0 30/8/07 1:09 pm Page 2

-3-
8. The direction of routing must always
be opposite to the bit's direction of
rotation. Do not back-cut or climb-cut.
9. Check before cutting that there are no
obstructions in the path of the router.
Ensure there are no obstacles
beneath workpiece when cutting full
thickness, and that a sacrificial work
surface is used.
Router Bit Safety
1. Cutting tools are sharp. Care should
be taken when handling them. Do not
drop bits or knock them against hard
objects. Handle very small diameter
bits with extra care. Always return bit
to its packaging after use.
2. Always use bits with a shank diameter
corresponding to the size of the collet
installed in your tool.
3. The maximum speed (n.max) marked
on the tool, or in instructions or on
packaging shall not be exceeded.
Where stated the speed range shall
be adhered to. Recommended speeds
are shown in the Trend Routing
Catalogue and/or website.
4. Always use router bits in a router.
Drill and boring bits must not be used
in a router. Router bits must only be
used for the material cutting
application for which they are
designed. Do not use on metal or
masonry.
5. Never use bits with a diameter
exceeding the maximum diameter
indicated in the technical data of the
powertool or attachment used.
6. Before each use check that the cutting
tool is sharp and free from damage.
Do not use the cutting tool if it is dull,
broken or cracked or if in any other
damage is noticeable or suspected.
7. Bits should be kept clean. Resin build
up should be removed at regular
intervals with Resin Cleaner®. The
use of a PTFE dry lubricant will
reduce resin build up. Do not use
PTFE spray on plastic parts.
8. When using stacked tooling (multi-
blade, block and groover etc.) on a
spindle arbor, ensure that the cutting
edges are staggered to each other to
reduce the cutting impact.
9. Bit shanks should be inserted into the
collet all the way to the line indicated
on the shank. This ensures that at
least
3
⁄
4
of the shank length is held in
the collet. Ensure clamping surfaces
are cleaned to remove dirt, grease, oil
and water.
10. Observe the correct assembly and
fitting instructions in the router
instruction manual for fitting the collet,
nut and bit.
11.Tool and tool bodies shall be clamped
in such a way that they will not
become loose during operation. Care
shall be taken when mounting cutting
tools to ensure that the clamping is by
the shank of the cutting tool and that
the cutting edges are not in contact
with each other or with the clamping
elements.
12. It is advisable to periodically check
the collet and collet nut. A damaged,
worn or distorted collet and nut can
cause vibration and shank damage.
Do not over-tighten the collet nut
13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass;
take several shallow or light passes to
reduce the side load applied to the bit
and router. Too deep a cut in one
pass can stall the router.
14. In case of excessive vibrations whilst
using the router stop immediately and
have the eccentricity of the router,
router bit and clamping system
checked by competent personnel.
15. All fastening screws and nuts should
be tightened using the appropriate
wrench or key and to the torque value
provided by the manufacturer.
16. Extension of the wrench or tightening
using hammer blows shall not be
permitted.
17.Clamping screws shall be tightened
according to instructions provided by
the manufacture. Where instructions
are not provided, clamping screws
shall be tightened in sequence from
the centre outwards.
Using Routers In A Fixed Position
1. After work, release the router plunge
to protect the bit.
2. Always use a push-stick or push-block
when making any cut less than 12” in
length or when feeding the last 12” of
the cut.
3. The opening around the bit should be
reduced to a minimum using suitably
sized insert rings in the table and
closing the back fence cheeks or
fitting a false fence on the back fence.
4. Whenever possible use a work
holding device or jig to secure
component being machined. Ensure
any attachment is securely fitted to
the workbench, with table surface at
approximately hip height.
5. Use a No-Volt Release Switch.
Ensure it is fixed securely, easily
accessible and used correctly.
6. In router table (inverted) mode, stand
to the front right of the table. The bit
will rotate counter-clockwise when
viewed from top so the feed direction
is from the right (against the rotation
of the bit). In overhead mode, stand to
the front left of the machine table and
the feed direction is from the left.
7. Do not reach underneath table or put
your hands or fingers at any time in
the cutting path while tool is connected
to a power supply.
8. Never thickness timber between the
back of the bit and the backfence.
Useful Advice When Routing
1. Judge your feed rate by the sound of
the motor. Feed the router at a
constant feed rate. Too slow a feed
rate will result in burning.
2. Trial cuts should be made on waste
material before starting any project.
3. When using some attachments e.g. a
router table or dovetail jig, a fine
height adjuster is recommended.
4. When using a template guide bush,
ensure there is sufficient clearance
between bit tip and inside edge of
bush and that it cannot come into
contact with collet and nut. Ensure bit
and guide bush are concentric.
Router Bit Repair/Maintenance
1. Repair of tools is only allowed in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
2. The design of composite (tipped) tools
shall not be changed in process of
repair. Composite tools shall be
repaired by a competent person i.e. a
person of training and experience, who
has knowledge of the design
requirements and understands the
levels of safety to be achieved.
3. Repair shall therefore include, e.g. the
use of spare parts which are in
accordance with the specification of
the original parts provided by the
manufacturer.
4. Tolerances which ensure correct
clamping shall be maintained.
5. Care shall be taken that regrinding of
the cutting edge will not cause
weakening of the body and the
connection of the cutting edge to the
body.

Electrical Safety
Power Supply
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Machines marked for 230 volt can also be
operated from a 220 volt supply.
The T4 is double insulated. Double
insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire system. Grounded power cord
and grounded power supply.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
