• Do not keep discharged battery pack
(maximum one month) attached to charger
whenever charger is detached from the
power supply (danger of deep discharging).
• A new battery pack or a battery pack not
used for a longer period of time reaches it's
full capacity after about 5 charging and
discharging cycles.
• Battery packs should, before charging, be
fully discharged if possible. Continuous
starting of the charging process shortens the
lifespan of the batteries.
• A considerably reduced time of operation per
charging shows that the battery pack is used
up an should be replaced by a new one.
• Store battery packs at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and 35°C.
• All maintenance and repair work, requiring
dismantling of equipment, may only be
performed by an authorised after-sales
service workshop.
Recycling battery packs
Never throw spent battery packs into
domestic waste containers! Return spent or
defective battery packs to dealers, the Festool
after-sales service department or approved
waste disposal facilities. This ensures that they
are correctly recycled.

shipping the tool to Festool. Festool will pay for
return shipping to the customer using UPS
Ground Service. All warranty service is valid 3
years from the date of purchase on your receipt

Festool Limited Warranty
This warranty is valid on the pre-condition that
the tool is used and operated in compliance
with the Festool operating instructions. Festool
warrants, only to the original consumer
purchaser, that the specified tool will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship for
a term of one year from the date of
procurement. Festool makes no other warranty,
express or implied, for Festool portable power

to increase or otherwise change the obligations
or limitations of this warranty. The obligations
of Festool in its sole discretion under this
warranty shall be limited to the repair or
replacement of any Festool portable power tool
that is found to be defective as packaged with
the User Manual.
Excluded from coverage under this warranty
are: normal wear and tear; damages caused

by anything other than defects in material and
workmanship. This warranty does not apply to

IN NO EVENT SHALL FESTOOL BE LIABLE
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF
THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY,
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WHATSOEVER.
ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY STATE
LAW, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO THE DURATION
OF THREE YEARS.
Some states in the U.S. and some Canadian
provinces do not allow the limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitation may not apply to you. With the

province law as hereby limited, the foregoing
express limited warranty is exclusive and in lieu
of all other warranties, guarantees, agreements
and similar obligations of Festool.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state in the U.S. and province to
province in Canada.
