Technical data

Danger!
Sound and vibration
Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 60745.

Wear ear-muﬀ s.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.
Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745.
Handle
Vibration emission value ah = 5.252 m/s2
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2
Additional handle
Vibration emission value ah ≤ 2.5 m/s2
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2
The speciﬁ ed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the speciﬁ ed value in exceptional circumstances. The speciﬁ ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The speciﬁ ed vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful eﬀect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
Do not overload the appliance.
Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
Wear protective gloves.

Caution!
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be ruled out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Fitting the dust extractor adapter (Fig. 2)
The adapter for the dust extraction system (5) and the dust bag (6) must be ﬁ tted (Fig. 2).

Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 3)

Set the required cutting depth with the setting wheel (3).
The designations on the setting wheel reflect the various sizes of biscuit dowels
Push the drive motor (11) forwards to check the cutting depth. The plug must be disconnected from the main supply for this purpose.
You can adjust the cutting depth setting using the screw (a).

Warning!
Before use, check that the guard hood reset system works properly!

Setting the cutting angle and cutting height (Fig. 4)

Undo the two screws for the angle adjustment (2) and height adjustment (12).
Important! The set angle is indicated by the arrow (b).
You can infinitely adjust the angle stop (10) to the required angle between 0° and 90°.
Set the required height on the height scale (a); the height of the groove should always be in the center of the workpiece.
Now retighten the two screws.
A single-pass will suffice for thin workpieces.
Several passes over the workpiece are required for thicker workpieces.

Changing the cutter (Figs. 5-6)

Danger! The plug must be disconnected from the main supply.

Remove the cover (a).
Place the face spanner (7) on the flange (b).
Press the locking knob; hold this knob and turn the face spanner in the direction in which the machine turns. After approximately half a turn the locking knob will engage and the flange can be released.
Release the cutter (c) from the flange (d).
Then pull the cutter (c) out of the base plate (9).
Now fit the new cutter following the above instructions in reverse. Check that the direction of rotation of the cutter is correct.
Refasten the cover (a).

Danger!
Never press the locking knob (8) when the motor is running. Ensure that the cutter is perfectly secu-re before you start work.
Note!
Do not use blunt or damaged saw disk cutters.

Operation

ON/OFF switch (1)

To switch on the equipment slide the switch(1) forwards and press the switch (1) until it engages.
To switch off the machine push the switch (1); it then returns to its original position.

Making a workpiece (Fig. 7)
Before you start work with the biscuit jointer, the workpiece must be marked as follows.

Place the two parts side by side; the workpieces must be securely clamped.
Draw a line with a pencil perpendicular to the position of the joint.
Several joints will be required for large pieces of wood.
The distance between two lines should be at least 10 cm.

Positioning the biscuit jointer (Fig. 8)

Set and check the cutting depth.
Set the angle fence (10).
Set the height.
Position the machine near to the workpiece.
There are markings (a) on the machine; these must line up with the line you have drawn.
Now switch on the machine and push the drive motor (11) forwards. The workpiece must be securely clamped.

Connecting the workpieces (Fig. 9/10)

When you have cut a slot on both workpieces they can be connected.
Place glue in both slots.
Insert the biscuit dowel (a) into one of the slots (Fig. 9).
Press both workpieces together (Fig. 10).
Clamp the workpieces and wait until the glue has set.

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Carbon brushes
