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.
