Specific Safety Rules - Festool DOMINO DF 500 Manual De Instrucciones

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plug-
ging in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger
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 foot-
ing 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 con-
nection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4) 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 de-
signed.
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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tools op-
eration. 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, tak-
ing 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
qualifi ed repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specifi c Safety Rules
a) Keep hands away from the cutting
area. Never place your hand on the front face
of the fence while the tool is running.
b) Never operate the joiner without the
fence attached. When the fence is removed
from the joiner, the spinning and oscillating
cutter is exposed and can cause serious injury.
c) Use only Festool authorized mortising
bits. Non-approved mortising bits can come
loose during operation.
d) Never use dull or damaged mortising
bits. Dull or damaged mortising bits can cause
the tool to lurch sideways unexpectedly and
lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
e) Do not operate the tool if the spring-
loaded fence does not return to its for-
ward rest position. The fence covers the
mortising bit and prevents accidental contact.
If the slides of the fence do not move freely,
have the tool serviced immediately.
f) Wait for the cutter to stop before set-
ting the tool down. An exposed cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
g) 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.
