c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before 

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or 

storing power tools.

 Such preventive safety measures 

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. 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.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and 

any other condition that may affect the power tools 

operation.

 If damaged, have the power tool repaired 

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 

likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., 

in accordance with these instructions and in the 

manner intended for the particular type of power 

tool, 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.

5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts.

 This 

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety rules for biscuit joiners

  Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an 

operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring 

or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed 

metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

  Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential 

overheating.

  When an extension cable is required, you must ensure 

that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool  

and is in safe electrical condition.

  Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your 

tool rating plate voltage.

  If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.

  Always switch off before you put the biscuit joiner down.

  Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

  Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

  Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.

  Only use accessory blades that are in good condition.

  Do not touch the blade after operation. It will be hot.

  Keep yours hands away from under the workpiece.

  Never use your hands to remove chips or waste close by 

the blade.

  Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left 

around the work area.

  Support the work properly.

  Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are 

properly tightened.

  When using the tool, use safety equipment including 

safety glasses or shield, ear protection, and protective 

clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the 

operation creates dust.

  If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.

  Using a power source with a voltage less than the 

nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. 

Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask

The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. 

Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will 

be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the 

manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury 

resulting from such cases of misuse.
