TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation vents of the joiner clean at all times, if possible, prevent
foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the joiner housing to ensure it is free from all
dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the joiner
to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the joiner requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the joiner; never immerse any part
of the joiner into a liquid.
• The rails which the plunge run along must be kept free of dust and debris to
ensure proper operation of your biscuit joiner.
• The grease in the gearbox will require replacement/replenishment after
extensive use of the biscuit joiner. Please see your authorised service agent to
provide this service.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the joiner will spark and/or stop. Discontinue
use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing use
of the joiner. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the joiner therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the joiner when carbon brushes need
to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the joiner. Carbon brushes will
wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take
the joiner to an electrician or a power tool repairer for
a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any
damage or injuries caused by the repair of the joiner by
an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the joiner.
SPARE PARTS
Replacing the Blade
After extended use, the blade on your biscuit joiner may become dull
and need replacing. If you accidentally hit a nail or other blunt object,
it will break the carbide tips on the blade. These situations also require
replacement of the blade.
Replacement Blade ACBJ-0001 can be ordered through the Special
Orders Desk at any Bunnings store.
