cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc
tions, taking into account the working con
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz
ardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically des
ignated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
f.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may
cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the in
structions. Charging improperly or at tem
peratures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
6 SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fied repair person using only identical re
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or author
ized service providers.
c. Only use original Festool parts for repair
and maintenance. The use of incompatible
accessories or spare parts can result in
electric shocks or other injuries.
Follow the operating manual for the charger
and the battery pack.

Machine-specific safety notices
Machine-related safety instructions
–
Dust that is harmful to your health may be
produced as you work (e.g. paint products
containing lead and some types of wood).
Aontact with or inhalation of this dust may
pose a risk for the operating personnel or
persons in the vicinity. Observe the safety
regulations that apply in your country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and
connect an extraction system.
Always wear protective goggles to pro
tect against sanding hazards.
–
Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for
example sanding pad or polishing felt,
with water and allow to dry. Work equip
ment soaked in oil may combust spontane
ously.
–
Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating
the grinding material and the sander. Al
ways empty the dust container before tak
ing a break. Swarf in the filter bag or filter
of the mobile dust extractor may self-ignite
in unfavourable conditions such as flying
sparks when grinding metals. Particular
danger exists if the swarf is mixed with
paint, polyurethane residue or other chem
ical materials and the grinding material is
hot after long periods of work.
–
If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding
pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer
inspection. Have the damaged parts re
paired before use. Broken sanding pads
and damaged machines can cause injuries
and machine instability.
