must be carried out and corresponding control
mechanisms implemented. Arising dust must
be factored in.
– Connect the dust extractor. Make sure that avail-
able dust extraction equipment is connected
and used correctly. Observe the regional safety
regulations for hazardous dusts and vapours.
Operate and service the compressed air tool
as described in the recommendations included
in these instructions and use accessories and
attachments from Festool to minimise the re-
lease of dust and vapours into the atmosphere.
In dusty environments, make sure that the dis-
sipation of exhaust air does not disturb the dust.
– If necessary arising dust or vapours must be
controlled at the place of their release.
– All components must be fi tted correctly and
meet all requirements to ensure that the com-
pressed air tool operates correctly.
– Select, maintain and replace accessories and
consumables according to these operating in-
structions.
– Wear a dust mask. Observe instructions from
the employer or occupational and health regula-
tions.
Noise hazard
– Higher noise level can lead to permanent hear-
ing damage, loss of hearing or other problems
if inade-quate hearing protection is not worn or
available.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard
must be carried out and corresponding control
mechanisms implemented, e.g. the use of insu-
lating materials.
– Wear ear protection. Observe instructions from
the employer or occupational and health regula-
tions.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool ac-
cording to these operating instructions.
– Select, maintain and replace accessories and
consumables according to these operating in-
structions.
– Assure function of the silencer at the com-
pressed air tool.
Vibration hazard
– Vibrations can cause damage to nerves and
problems with blood circulation in hands and
arms.
– When working in cold environments wear warm
clothing and keep hands warm and dry.
– In the event of numbness, tingling or pains in
fi ngers or hands or white colouration of the
fi ngers or hands, cease work, inform employer
and consult a doctor.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool ac-
cording to these operating instructions.
– Do not hold the compressed air tool too tight,
but with a secure grip while observing the nec-
essary hand reaction forces. The vibration risk
is greater with increasing gripping strength.
Additional safety information for
pneumatic machines
– Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
– Disconnect the compressed air hose from the
compressed air supply. In the event of non-use
of the compressed air tool, before maintenance
and when changing insertion tools.
– Never direct the air fl ow towards yourself or
other persons.
– Hoses fl apping around can cause serious in-
juries. Check whether hoses and their fi xing
devices have not suffered damage or become
loose.
– The operating pressure should not exceed 6.2
bar (90 psi).
– Never carry the compressed air tool by the com-
pressed air hose.

Further safety information

– Keep your work area tidy. Untidiness in the
work area can cause accidents.
– Take into consideration environmental infl u-
ences. Do not leave compressed air tools out in
the rain.
– Keep away from children! Do not allow others
to touch the compressed air tool or the com-
pressed air hose. Keep others away from your
work area.
– Store your compressed air tools safely. Unused
compressed air tools should be stored in a dry,
inac-cessible or locked location, out of the reach
of children.
– Do not use the compressed air hose for pur-
poses for which it was not intended. Protect the
compressed air hose from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Check the compressed air hose regularly
and if it becomes damaged, have it replaced by
an approved specialist. The compressed air hose
cannot be used for application devices such as
atomising and spraying equipment as the safety
requirements against electrical hazards cannot
be satisfi ed.
– Take good care of your tools. Keep the tools
