suitable gloves as protection.
– Never use without an abrasive.
– Risk of an electrostatic discharge if the com-
pressed air tool is used on plastic and other non-
conductible materials.
– Potentially explosive atmosphere: If explosive or
self-igniting dust is produced during sanding of
certain materials, the processing instructions of
the material manufacturer must be observed un-
der all circumstances.
Risk through repeated movements
– The use of the compressed air tool may cause un-
pleasant sensations in the hands and arms of the
operator, as well as in the neck and shoulder area
or other body parts.
– Adopt a comfortable posture. Change posture if
working continuously.
– If symptoms such as malaise, complaints, throb-
bing, pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness
occur inform your employer and consult a doctor.
Risk as a result of accessory parts
– 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.
– Avoid contact with the insertion tool during and af-
ter use.
– Always use original accessories.
– Grinding wheels and cutting-off wheels are not
permitted.
– The permissible rotational speed of the accessory
must be at least 1,000 rpm higher than the maxi-
mum speed specified on the machine. Accessories
that rotate faster than the permissible level can
rupture.
– Self-adhesive abrasives must be attached concen-
trically on the sanding pad.
Risk at work station
– Slipping and tripping hazard! Pay attention to slip-
pery surfaces and tripping hazards as a result of
air pressure hoses.
– Not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and
not insulated against contact with electrical power
sources.
– Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings
that may contain electrical or other supply 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 sanding, the
machine should be connected to an appropriate
extractor and the safety regulations that apply to
the working material should be observed.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard must
be carried out and corresponding control mecha-
nisms implemented. Arising dust must be factored
in.
– Connect the dust extractor. Make sure that avail-
able dust extraction equipment is connected and
used correctly. Observe the regional safety regula-
tions for hazardous dusts and vapours. Operate
and service the compressed air tool as described
in the recommendations included in these instruc-
tions and use accessories and attachments from
Festool to minimise the release of dust and va-
pours into the atmosphere. In dusty environments,
make sure that the dissipation of exhaust air does
not disturb the dust.
– If necessary arising dust or vapours must be con-
trolled 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 con-
sumables according to these operating instruc-
tions.
– Wear a dust mask. Observe instructions from the
employer or occupational and health regulations.
Noise hazard
– Higher noise level can lead to permanent hearing
damage, loss of hearing or other problems if inad-
equate hearing protection is not worn or available.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard must
be carried out and corresponding control mecha-
nisms implemented, e.g. the use of insulating ma-
terials.
– Wear ear protection. Observe instructions from the
employer or occupational and health regulations.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool accord-
ing to these operating instructions.
– Select, maintain and replace accessories and con-
sumables according to these operating instruc-
tions.
– Assure function of the silencer at the compressed
air tool.
Vibration hazard
– Vibrations can cause damage to nerves and prob-
lems with blood circulation in hands and arms.
– When working in cold environments wear warm
