Festool PF 1200 E Notice D'utilisation D'origine page 11

– when the tool is pinched, stops turning and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator;
– if the tool becomes twisted or misaligned in the
groove, the teeth at the back edge of the tool can
dig into the top surface of the material causing
the tool to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the
milling machine and position your arms to
resist kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the milling machine, but not in
line with the mounting tool. Kickback could
cause the machine to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the opera-
tor, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When the mounting tool is binding, or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, release the
trigger and hold the milling machine motion-
less in the material until the mounting tool
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the milling machine from the work or
pull the milling machine backward while the
mounting tool is in motion or kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of binding.
c) When restarting a milling machine in the
workpiece, centre the milling tool in the kerf
and check that teeth are not engaged into the
material. In case of binding, it may walk up or
kickback from the workpiece as the machine
is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to
sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the
line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged mounting tools.
Unsharpened or improperly set mountng tools
produce narrow kerfs causing excessive fric-
tion, binding and kickback.
Function of the lower guard
a) Check the function of the springs for the lower
guard. If the lower guard or springs show any
signs of a defect, have the milling machine
serviced before using it again. Damaged parts,
sticky deposits or accumulated chips may re-
sult in delayed operation of the lower guard.
Further safety instructions
– This electric power tool cannot be installed
in a work bench. The electric power tool may
become unsafe and cause serious accidents if
installed in benches from other manufacturers
or self-manufactured work benches.
– Never place your hands into the chip ejector.
You may injure yourself on rotating parts.
– Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down. The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
– Ensure that the milling tool is fi rmly seated and
check that it runs smoothly.
– Do not use the machine for overhead work.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during
your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain
types of wood and metal). Inhaling or coming
into contact with this dust may represent a
hazard for operating personnel or persons in
the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations
that apply in your country. Ensure that enclosed
spaces are adequately ventilated.
2.3 Noise and vibration information
The typical values determined in accordance with
EN 60745 are:

directions) and uncertainty K measured in accord-
ance with EN 60745:
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
fi ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.
