are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop­
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
g.
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc­
tions, taking into account the working con­
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz­
ardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
h.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip­
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a quali­
a.
fied repair person using only identical re­
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Only use original Festool parts for repair
b.
and maintenance. The use of incompatible
accessories or spare parts can result in
electric shocks or other injuries.
3.2 Machine-specific safety notices
– Harmful/poisonous dust may be produced
when working (e.g. paint products con­
taining lead and some types of wood).
Contact with or inhalation of this dust may
pose a risk for the operating personnel or
persons in the vicinity. Comply with the
safety regulations that apply in your coun­
try.
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection and safety goggles.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con­
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– Clean using materials soaked in oils, e.g.
abrasive pad or polishing felt with water,
and spread them out to dry. Materials
soaked in oil may ignite spontaneously.
Caution: Fire hazard! Prevent the material
–
being sanded and the sander from over­
heating. Always empty the dust container
before taking breaks from work. Grinding

dust in the filter bag and/or in the filter of
the mobile dust extractor may ignite spon­
taneously under unfavourable conditions,
such as flying sparks, when sanding. There
is a particular risk if the sanding dust is
mixed with clear coats or polyurethane res­
idues or other chemical substances and the
material being sanded becomes hot after it
has been worked on for a long time.
– Metals and materials that contain asbestos
must not be processed. Sparks may be cre­
ated in the dust bag when processing met­
als. This increases the risk of fire.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding
pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer
inspection. Have the damaged parts re­
paired before use. Broken sanding pads
and damaged machines can cause injuries
and machine instability.
– Always use original Festool sanding pads.
Sanding pads from other manufacturers
are not suitable for the sander speed and
may break.
– An electrostatic charge may build up when
using the long-life dust bag. If possible,
always use the power tool with an anti-
static suction hose (AS). A slight electric
shock may cause you to panic briefly and
become distracted, which may result in an
accident.

Health hazard by dust

WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, birth defects 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, and
– arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
The risk from these expo­
sures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your expo­
sure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands
after handling.
