Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass it has been
found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc.
Consequently it is not recommended that this tool be used
for extended work on any fiberglass material. During any
use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

HELPFUL HINTS

Study all safety rules and do the job safely.

NEVER place your hands in jeopardy.

Make certain clamps can’t loosen while in use.

Test difficult set-ups on scrap—Don’t waste lumber.

Plan each operation before you begin.

Provide for smoother operation by cleaning your bis-
cuit joiner frequently. Shake biscuit joiner or blow with
an air jet to remove wood particle build-up.

DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices
can damage tool as well as workpiece.

THINK SAFETY BY THINKING AHEAD.

Always clamp workpiece securely before cutting.

A safe operator is one who thinks ahead.

Always wear eye protection when cutting slots.

Make set-up adjustments carefully. Then double check.
Measure twice and cut once.

Always dry assemble your project before gluing it
together.

For loose fit situations, wet biscuits to make them swell.

The more biscuits used, the stronger the joint will be.

Keep blade clean. When the blade becomes dull,
replace it.

Don’t let familiarity make you careless.
