ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BISCUIT
JOINTER
a)
The rated speed of cutting tools must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Blades
running with over speed can fly apart and cause injuries.
b)
Always use correctly sized blades with the fitting mounting
bore. Blades that do not fit to the mounting components
of the biscuit jointer rotate irregularly and lead to loss of
control.
c)
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched
on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the blade jams
in the workpiece.
d)
Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the blade.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with
both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power
tool is guided more securely with both hands.
e)
Never cut over metal objects, nails or screws. The jointer
bit can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations.
f)
Do not use blunt or damaged jointer blades. Blunt or
damaged jointer blades cause increased friction, can
become jammed and lead to imbalance.
g)
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
h)
Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
i)
Take protective measures when dust can develop during
working that is harmful to one’s health, combustible
or explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as
carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable.
j)
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop
before placing it down.
k)
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch
the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the
risk of an electric shock.
