ings that may contain electrical or other sup-
ply cables that harbour hidden dangers.
Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas
pipelines or similar that, if damaged, could
pose a hazard when the machine is used.
Hazard as a result of dust and vapours
– If hazardous dust is produced during sand-
ing, the machine should be connected to an
appropriate extractor and the safety regula-
tions that apply to the working material
should be observed.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard
must be carried out and corresponding con-
trol mechanisms implemented. Arising dust
must be factored in.
– Connect the dust extractor. Make sure that
available dust extraction equipment is con-
nected and used correctly. Observe the re-
gional safety regulations for hazardous dusts
and vapours. Operate and service the com-
pressed air tool as described in the recom-
mendations included in these instructions
and use accessories and attachments from
Festool to minimise the release of dust and
vapours into the atmosphere. In dusty envi-
ronments, make sure that the dissipation 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 fitted correctly and
meet all requirements to ensure that the
compressed 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 reg-
ulations.
Noise hazard
– Higher noise level can lead to permanent
hearing damage, loss of hearing or other
problems if inadequate hearing protection is
not worn or available.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard
must be carried out and corresponding con-
trol mechanisms implemented, e.g. the use
of insulating materials.
– Wear ear protection. Observe instructions
from the employer or occupational and health
regulations.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool
according 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
fingers or hands or white colouration of the
fingers or hands, cease work, inform employ-
er and consult a doctor.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool
according to these operating instructions.
– Do not hold the compressed air tool too tight,
but with a secure grip while observing the
necessary hand reaction forces. The vibration
risk is greater with increasing gripping
strength.
Additional safety information for pneu-
matic 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 flow towards yourself
or other persons.
– Hoses flapping around can cause serious in-
juries. Check whether hoses and their fixing
devices have not suffered damage or become
loose.
– The operating pressure should not exceed
6.2 bar.
– Never carry the compressed air tool by the
compressed air hose.
Further safety information
– Keep your work area tidy. Untidiness in
the work area can cause accidents.
– Take into consideration environmental
influences. 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
compressed air hose. Keep others away from
your work area.
– Store your compressed air tools safely.
Unused compressed air tools should be
