Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine.
These components are designed specifically for
this machine. Using accessories and consumable
material from other suppliers will most likely affect
the quality of your results and limit warranty
claims. Machine wear or your own personal work-
load 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!
Use only genuine Festool polishing pads. Low-
quality polishing pads may cause serious machine
imbalance and decreases the quality of the working
results as well as increase machine wear.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be accessed via the Festool catalogue or on the In-
ternet at "www.festoolusa.com".
Environment

an environmentally responsible recycling centre.
Observe the respective national regulations.

Maintenance or repair work carried out by an un-

tion of the power cord or other components, which

quences.

from the power supply socket before carrying out
any changes or maintenance work on the tool!
X
Do not use compressed air to clean the electrical
tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the tool in
this way, as you could let foreign objects in
through the openings of the tool housing.
