General safety instructions
WARNING!
instructions, illustrations and specifi ca-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Machine-related safety instructions
- Before starting up any tool, you must check
the fl exible power cable and the plug. You must
have any defects fi xed by a professional.
- Never touch the machine with wet hands when
it is connected to the power mains.
- The switch must be in the OFF position before
you connect it to the mains.
- The container with the material that is to be
mixed must be stabilised to prevent it from
slipping on the fl oor.
- Only use the tool until the stirring rod diameter
that is specifi ed in the technical specifi cations
has been reached.
- Load the machine in such a way that the speed
does not decrease too much or the machine is
forced to stop.
- Always guide the fl exible power cable from the
tool to the rear. Never pull hard on the fl exible
power cable and never set it on or guide it over
any sharp edges.
- Only work in a safe and stable position.
- Take into account that there will be a reaction-
ary torsional momentum.
- Do not mix any solvents or solventcontaining
substances with a fl ash point of below 21 °C.
- Start up and run down the maschine un the
mixing container only.
- Do not reach into the mixing container with
14
Read all safety warnings,
your hands or insert any other objects into
while mixing is in progress.
- We recommend that you wear work gloves
and protective goggles when using the mixer.
Regulation require that you wear close-fi tting
clothing.
- Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-
plied via residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
5.3
Other safety risks
Even in cases where the machine is used correctly
and all relevant safety instructions have been ad-
hered to, the design engineering of the machine
and its operation mean that there may also be the
following safety risks:
- Danger that may be caused by the fl exible pow-
er cable.
- A concentration of dust which is harmful to
health when working in an area that is not suf-
fi ciently ventilated.
- Injuries caused by touching electrifi ed parts
when removing the machine or its parts if the
plugs on the fl exible power cable have not been
removed from the socket.
- You must only use original Festool spare parts.

Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60 745
are typically:
Sound pressure level
Noise level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
The noise produced during work can damage
your hearing.
Always use ear protection.
Vibration emission value a
directions) and uncertainty K measured in accord-
ance with EN 60 745:
Uncertainty
The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary es-
timates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.
Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
