Festool PN574422 Biscuit Joiner User Manual


 
Supplemental Owner’s Manual 5
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accor-
dance with these instructions, 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.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never alter or misuse the
power tool.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specic Safety Rules for Tenon Joiners
Mortising bits must be rated for at least the speed recom-
mended on the tool. Mortising bits running over rated speed
can y apart and cause injury.
Always use the fence. The fence protects the operator from
unintentional contact with the mortising bit. When the fence
is removed from the joiner, the spinning and oscillating cutter
is exposed and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands away from the cutting area. Never place your
hand on the front face of the fence while the tool is running.
Use only Festool authorized mortising bits. Non-approved
mortising bits can come loose during operation.
Never use dull or damaged mortising bits. Dull or damaged
mortising bits can cause the tool to lurch sideways unexpect-
edly and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
Do not operate the tool if the spring-loaded fence does not
return to its forward rest position. The fence covers the mor-
tising bit and prevents accidental contact. If the slides of the
fence do not move freely, have the tool serviced immediately.
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An
exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible
loss of control and serious injury.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Respiratory Exposure Safety Warnings
Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust and other airborne
contaminants, in particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other illnesses. Various dusts
created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals or substances known
(to the State of California and others) to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals/substances are:
lead from lead-based paints;
crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry
products;
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber; and
some wood dusts, especially from hardwoods, but also from
some softwoods such as Western Red Cedar.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and use a
properly functioning dust extraction system. When the inhala-
tion of dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH for
the type of dust encountered.
