General safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Machine-related safety instructions
– Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal). Contact with these
dusts, especially inhaling them, 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.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
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 exam-
ple 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 ex-
tractor may self-ignite in unfavourable condi-
tions 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. For-
eign 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. Re-
move the sanding pad for closer inspection. Re-
pair damaged parts before using again. Broken
sanding pads and damaged machines can cause
injuries and machine instability.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-
plied via residual current device with a rated re-
sidual current of 30 mA or less.
2.3

Metal processing

When processing metal, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the motor
housing of the machine by blowing.
Wear protective goggles.
