ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of child-
ren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dama-
ged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, ta-
king into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Only use original Festool parts for repair
andmaintenance. The use of incompatible ac-
cessories or spare parts can result in electric
shocks or other injuries.

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.
– Prevent liquid polish from entering the ma-
chine. The penetration of liquid polish into the
electric power tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding pad.
Remove the sanding pad for closer inspection.
Repair damaged parts before using again.
Broken sanding pads and damaged machines
can cause injuries and machine instability.

Metal processing

When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety rea-
sons:
• Install an upstream residual-current circuit-
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
• Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor.
• Regularly remove dust deposits in the motor
housing.
Wear protective goggles.

Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other con-
struction activities contains chemicals known (to
the State of California) to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treat-
ed lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well ventilated
area and use approved safety equip-
ment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out mi-
croscopic particles. Wash hands after
handling.
