General safety rules

WARNING Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of
the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool.

Save these instructions.

1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.

Use of these devices

can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool.

Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

5

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
