Additional safety rules for biscuit jointers
Plugging into the mains, switching ON and OFF
• Always ensure that the power tool is switched OFF before plugging into
the mains.
• Do not switch OFF before the blade is running freely.
When cutting
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before starting
work.
• After switching OFF, never attempt to stop the blade by pressing
against the side of the blade.
• Never put the tool down on a table or workbench unless switched OFF.
Operational protection devices
• The tool must only be used for cutting wood or plastic.
• Ensure that all devices screening the blade are in perfect working order.
Checking and changing the blade
• Only blades conforming to the specifications contained in these
operating instructions may be used.
• Blades made of high alloy, high speed steel (HSS steel) should not be
used. Best results are achieved using carbide-tipped or CrV blades.
• Only sharp blades in perfect working order should be used; cracked or
bent blades should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the blade is securely fixed and rotates in the correct direction.
Guard against kickback
• Kickback occurs when the tool begins to stall rapidly and is driven
back towards the operator. Release the switch immediately if the blade
sticks or the tool stalls.
• Keep the blades sharp.
• Support large panels near the cutting area.
• Do not remove the tool from the workpiece while making a cut with the
blade rotating. Release the ON/OFF-switch and wait for the blade to
come to a halt.
