2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below 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 dust can be produced during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of
wood and metal). Contact with this dust, espe-
cially inhaling it, can represent a hazard for oper-
ating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in your
country. Connect the electric power tool to a suit-
able 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 oper-
12
ation 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 Mixed dust containing metal and sanding
damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such as
dust resulting from paint sanding in the au-
tomotive field) and when sanding damp sur-
faces, the following measures must be ob-
served for reasons of safety:
– Install a residual-current circuit breaker (GFCI,
PRCD) upstream.
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of the ma-
chine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.
