BISCUIT JOINER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
14. REPLACEMENTS.
Should any component of your joiner be missing/
damaged or fail in any way, shut off the switch
and remove the plug from power supply outlet.
Replace the missing, damaged, or failed parts using
only identical replacement parts before resuming
operation.
REDUCING KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned joiner blade, causing an uncontrolled
joiner to lift up and out of the work piece toward the
operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the
blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards
the operator. Take the proper precautions below to
reduce the risk of kickback.
• Maintain a firm grip on the joiner and position
your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When a blade is binding (or when interrupting a
cut for any reason), release the trigger and hold
the joiner motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the joiner from the work or pull the joiner backward
while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unshaped or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf, causing
excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
• Blade depth and angle adjusting locking levers must
be tight and secure before making a cut. If the blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding
and kickback.
