ETS EC 150
f.
Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive
temperatures.
Fire or temperatures exceeding
130 °C may cause an explosion.
g.
Follow all instructions on charging and never
charge the battery or the cordless tool outside
the temperature range stated in the operating
instructions.
Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature range can
destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a.
Only ever have your power tool repaired by
qualified specialist staff and always use origi-
nal spare parts.
This ensures that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b.
Never perform maintenance on damaged bat-
teries.
Maintenance on batteries should only
ever be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service centres.
c.
Only use original parts for repairs and main-
tenance.
The use of incompatible accessories
or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
2.2
Machine-related safety instructions
–
Harmful/toxic dust can be produced during
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal).
Contact with this
dust, especially inhaling it, can represent a
hazard for operating personnel or persons in
the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations
that apply in your country. Connect the electric
power tool to a suitable extraction system.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
–
Use a residual current protective device when
metal grinding, as well as when the operation
of the power tool in a wet environment cannot
be avoided.
In the event of an electric shock,
the protective switch protects you against life-
threatening current through the body.
–
Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for
example sanding pad or polishing felt, with
water and allow to dry.
Work equipment soaked
in oil may combust spontaneously.
–
Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the
grinding material and the sander. Always
empty the dust container before taking a break.
Swarf in the filter bag or filter of the mobile
dust extractor may selfignite in unfavourable
conditions such as flying sparks when grinding
metals. Particular danger exists if the swarf is
mixed with paint, polyurethane residue or other
chemical materials and the grinding material
is hot after long periods of work.
–
Always use original Festool sanding pads.
Foreign pads are not suitable for the speed of
the sander and may break.
–
If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding pad.
Remove the sanding pad for closer inspection.
Repair damaged parts before using again.
Broken sanding pads and damaged machines
can cause injuries and machine instability.
2.3
Mixed dust containing metal and sanding
damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such
as dust resulting from paint sanding in
the automotive field) and when sanding
damp surfaces, the following measures
must be observed for reasons of safety:
– Install a residual-current circuit breaker (GFCI,
PRCD) upstream.
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of the
machine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.
