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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance 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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Jointers Safety Warnings
Disc cutters must be rated for at least the speed
marked on the tool. Disc cutters running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, be-
cause the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always use correctly sized cuttings discs with the fit-
ting mounting bore. Cutting discs that do not fit to the
mounting components of the biscuit jointer rotate irregu-
larly and lead to loss of control.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the
cutting disc. Hold the auxiliary handle with your second
hand. When both hands hold the machine, they cannot be
injured by the cutting disc.
Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws. The router
bit can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
Do not use blunt or damaged router bits. Blunt or dam-
aged router bits cause increased friction, can become
jammed and lead to imbalance.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
1 609 929 N81 | (18.5.11)
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
The slip safety 7 must always be mounted.
Use only the application tools listed in these operating
instructions. Do not use cutting discs or circular saw
blades.
Press the spindle lock button 14 only when the ma-
chine is at a standstill.
Before putting into operation, check the cutting disc
for tight seating.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
