pared for high reaction torques that
can cause kickback.
The tool blocks if:
- the power tool is overloaded or
- it becomes jammed in the workpiece be-
ing processed.
– Wait until the power tool stops com-
pletely until placing it down.
The tool
can become entangled and lead to a loss of
control of the power tool.
– Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure
that the on/off switch is in switched-
off position before inserting a battery.
Carrying the power tool with your finger at
the on/off switch, or inserting the battery
when the power tool is switched on, can re-
sult in accidents.
– Take care when drilling into walls as there
is a danger of rupturing concealed gas/wa-
ter pipes or cutting through power cables.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charg-
er. Even after disconnection from the
mains, there is still a high capacitor voltage
inside the charger.
– Make sure that metal objects (such as met-
al chips) or fluids do not collect in the bat-
tery pack retaining slots or enter the
machine through the air vent slits (danger
of short circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from external
manufacturers. The charger is designed for
charging original battery packs only. Never
charge the battery packs in chargers from
external manufacturers. Otherwise there is
a danger of fire and explosion.
– Protect the battery pack from excessive
heat or constant heat sources such as sun-
light or naked flames. There is a risk of ex-
plosion.
– Never use water to extinguish burning Li-
Ion battery packs, always use sand or a
fire blanket.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN
60745 are typically:
Vibration emission value a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K mea-
sured in accordance with EN 60745:
The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be
higher when the tool is used. Take into ac-
count any machine idling times and down-
times to estimate these values more accu-
rately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the ma-
chine operating period.
6 Operation
6.1 Changing the battery pack [2]
L
All battery packs in the BPS and BPC se-
ries can be used with the Festool cordless
drills T12+3, T15+3 , T18+3. Li-ion Bat-
tery packs can also be used with a lower
voltage than that of the cordless drill.
L
When using NiMH or NiCd battery packs,
the vacant opening can be closed with the
blanking plug
[2-1] .
6.2 Charging the battery pack [3]
L
The battery pack is delivered partially
charged.
NiMH: Charge the battery pack completely
before using for the first time.
