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 and clothing 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 dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool's 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, 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.

Specific Safety
Dowel and Biscuit Jointer Safety
WARNING!
• Jointers must be rated for at least the speed marked on the
tool. Jointers running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury.
• Always use the guard. The guard protects the operator from
broken fragments and unintentional contact with the drill.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the
cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool.
Ensure that operators are familiar with these operating and
safety instructions.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied
via a residual current device with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
WARNING: Do not use blunt or damaged drills.
WARNING: Check the proper function of the guard retracting
system before use.
Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can
generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood contains
preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be
toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials extra care
should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise skin contact.
a) Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely
unravelled. Minimum conductor cross section: 1.0mm²
