Jointers safety warnings

Disc cutters must be rated for at least the speed marked on the tool. Disc cutters running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

Always use the guard. The guard protects the operator from broken disc cutter fragments and unintentional contact with the disc cutter.

Always use side milling cutters of the correct size and shape and with the correct locating bore. Side milling cutters that do not match the mounting hardware of the router will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

Do not put your hands in the routing area or close to the router. Grip the auxiliary handle with your other hand. Holding the router with both hands avoids injury.

Never rout over metal objects, nails or screws. The router could become damaged and cause increased vibration.

Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

Do not use blunt or damaged routers. Blunt or damaged routers cause increased friction, create imbalances and may become jammed.

When working with the tool, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

Always use the auxiliary handle supplied with the power tool. Loss of control can cause personal in‌jury.

Only use the application tools listed in this operating manual. Do not use cutting discs or circular saw blades.

Check that the side milling cutter is firmly secured before starting operation.

Only press the spindle lock button when the power tool is at a standstill. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

Only use the power tool when the anti-slip protection is fitted. This ensures that precise work can be carried out with the power tool.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
