Festool Domino DF 500 - Manual (Page 5)

Instruction Manual 5
Service
►
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 Rules for Tenon Joiners
►
Mortising bits must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool. Mortising bits running over
rated speed can fly 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
unexpectedly 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 mortising 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
inhalation 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.
