Note the following information:
– Keep the ventilation slits on the machine free and
clean to ensure adequate cooling.
– Keep the contacts on the machine, charger and
battery pack clean.
Information on battery packs
– Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature be-
tween 5 °C and 25 °C.
– Protect battery packs from moisture, water and
heat.
– Do not leave empty battery packs in a charger
disconnected from the mains power supply for
longer than one month. Danger of deep dis-
charge!
– If you intend to store li-ion battery packs for lon-
ger periods without use, you should charge them
to 40 % capacity (approx. 15 min charging time).
– To avoid short circuits the battery pack should be
stored in the packaging supplied.
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!
Only use original Festool sanding and polishing
pads. Low-quality sanding and polishing pads may
cause serious machine imbalance that decreases
the quality of the working results and increases
machine wear.
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
protection and storage for the tool and accessories.
The Systainers are stackable and can be inter-
locked together. They also can be interlocked atop
Festool CT dust extractors.
To open the Systainer
To lock the Systainer
To connect two Systainers
Place one Systainer on the top of the other (Fig. [10

The Systainers are connected and locked.
A new generation Systainer is connectable on
top of a previous generation Systainer by the
four latches of the previous Systainer.
WARNING
Any maintenance or repair work that requires
opening of the motor or gear housing should only
be carried out by an authorised Customer Service
Centre (name supplied by your dealer)!
Maintenance or repair work carried out by an
unauthorised person can lead to the wrong con-
nection of the power cord or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
