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.

Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
Various dust created by pow
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depend
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re
duce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic par
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
