Service and maintenance
Vanes
To guarantee optimal dust extraction, we recom-
mend using Festool extractors with automatic
switch-on/switch-off device for compressed air
machines.
In order to prevent damage to the pneumatic
motor, dust extraction must not be carried
out on the pneumatic tool when it is at stand-
still.
that it cannot move while being processed.
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.
Lubrication
If the tool is not used for longer periods, e.g. for a
weekend, introduce 1 or 2 drops of lubricating oil
into the compressed-air supply [5-1] on the tool
prior to use.
Use only the recommended Festool oil (Safety
Data Sheet for professio.nal users available on
request)
