1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE JOINTING MACHINE USE
Carefully read the GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTION LEAFLET enclosed with
the machine documents.
1. Supply voltage must be the same as that indicated
on the specifications plate. The tool should always be
connected to a power outlet protected by a Residual
Current Device (circuit breaker) with a nominal residual
current limit of 30 mA or less.
2. DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE CUTTING
ZONE. Never put hands near the cutting blade. Do not
hold the underside of the machine when it is operating.
3. Ensure that the safety mechanism (retraction)
functions freely without any danger of being held
back. Do not block the mechanism with the blade in
the exposed position.
Always use the protective mechanism: The protective
mechanism safeguards the user against fragments of
broken bits and from accidental contact with the bit.
4. WHEN REPLACING THE BLADE, USE ONLY ORI-
GINAL VIRUTEX BLADES. Never use blades which do
not comply with the properties specified in this manual.
Do not use malformed or broken blades. Do not use
high-speed steel.
The assigned speed of the blade must be at least equal
to that marked on the machine: Blades that work at a
faster speed than the assigned speed may be partially
thrown out, causing injury.
5. AVOID CUTTING NAILS AND KNOTS. Inspect the
wood and remove nails before cutting. Try not to cut
through knots.
6. Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces,
as the blade may touch the machine's power cable:
Cutting an electrified cable may also electrify the ac-
cessible metal parts of the machine and cause electric
shock to the user.
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before any maintenance operations.

3. NOISE LEVEL AND VIBRATIONS
The noise and vibration levels of this device have
been measured in accordance with European stan-
dard EN 60745-2-19 and EN 60745-1 and serve as a
basis for comparison with other machines with similar
applications.
The indicated vibration level has been determined
for the device's main applications and may be used
as an initial value for evaluating the risk presented by
exposure to vibrations. However, vibrations may reach
levels that are quite different from the declared value
under other application conditions, with other tools or
with insufficient maintenance of the electrical device
or its accessories, reaching a much higher value as a
result of the work cycle or the manner in which the
electrical device is used.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish safety measures
to protect the user from the effects of vibrations, such
as maintaining both the device and its tools in perfect
condition and organising the duration of work cycles
(such as operating times when the machine is subjected
to loads, and operating times when working with no-load,
in effect, not in use, as reducing the latter may have a
considerable effect upon the overall exposure value).
4. WARRANTY
All VIRUTEX power tools are guaranteed for 12 months
from the date of purchase, excluding any damage which
is a result of incorrect use or of natural and tear on the
machine. All repairs should be carried out by the official
VIRUTEX technical assistance service.
5. RECYCLING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Never dispose of electrical equipment with domestic
waste. Recycle equipment, accessories and packaging
in ways that minimise any adverse effect on the envi-
ronment. Comply with the current regulations in your
country.
Applicable in the European Union and in European
countries with selective waste collection systems:
If this symbol appears on the product or in the accom-
panying information, at the end of the product's useful
life it must not be disposed of with other domestic waste.
