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).
Contact 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.
–
Always use original Festool sanding pads.
–
While using the long-life dust bag be
aware of electric charge. Always when
possible use an antistatic suction hose
with the power tool.
A slight electric shock
may cause you to panic briefly and become
distracted, which may result in an accident.
– Only use the mains adapter with this de
vice.
– Only use the mains adapter together with
an original Festool plug-it cable.
