Service and maintenance
Observe the following instructions:
– Keep the air slits on the machine and the charger
free and clean to ensure adequate cooling.
– Keep the contacts on the machine, charger and
battery pack clean.
Information on battery packs
– Where possible, store the battery pack in a cool, dry
place at a temperature between 5 °C and 25 °C.
– Battery packs are most efficient at temperatures
between 20 °C and 30 °C.
– Protect the battery pack from moisture, water and
heat.
– Significantly shorter operating times after each
charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and
should be replaced with a new one.
– The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible with the
charger! Integrated electronics prevent overload-
ing and overheating during the charging process.
– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger discon-
nected from the mains power supply for longer
than one month. There is a risk of total discharge
and the maximum power of the battery pack may
decrease.
– Store the battery pack in its packaging to reduce
the risk of short circuits.
– If LiIon battery packs are to be stored for long pe-
riods without use, they should be charged to 40 %
capacity (approx. 15 mins. charging period).
Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine be-
cause these components are designed specifically
for the machine. Using accessories and consumable
material from other suppliers will most likely affect
the quality of your working results and limit any war-
ranty claims. Machine wear or your own personal
workload may increase depending on the application.
Protect yourself and your machine, and preserve
your warranty claims by always using original Fes-
tool accessories and Festool consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festoolusa.com".
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique sys-
tem container, called "Systainer". This provides pro-
tection and storage for the tool and accessories. The
Systainers are stackable and can be interlocked to-
gether. They also can be interlocked atop Festool CT
dust extractors.
