Further Safety Instructions; Health Hazard By Dust - Festool TS 55 FEQ Manual De Instrucciones Original

English
Installation and mounting
– Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
– When assembling the tools, it must be en­
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
tool, and that the cutting edges do not
come into contact with other components.
– Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting
with a hammer.
– The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to
remove contamination, grease, oil and wa­
ter.
– Clamping screws must be tightened ac­
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that
have been pressed in or those that are held
in position by an adhesive bond, may be
used to adjust the hole diameter of circular
saw blades to the spindle diameter of the
machine. The use of loose rings is not per­
mitted.
Service and maintenance
– Repairs and sanding work may only be car­
ried out by Festool customer service work­
shops or experts.
– The tool design must not be changed.
– Deresinify and clean the tool regularly
(cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
– Blunt edges can be resharpened on the
clamping surface to a minimum cutting
edge thickness of 1 mm.
– Only transport the tool in suitable packag­
ing – risk of injury!

Further safety instructions

–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­
–
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood or metals). Contact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu­
lations that apply in your country.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
10
that there is sufficient ventilation and con­
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– This power tool cannot be installed in a
work bench. The power tool may become
unsafe and cause serious accidents if in­
stalled in benches from other manufactur­
ers or self-manufactured work benches.
– Check whether there are any signs of dam­
age to the housing components, such as
cracks or stress whitening. Have any dam­
aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
– Use appropriate detection devices to look
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
3.5 Sawing aluminium
When sawing aluminium, the following meas­
ures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chip guard.
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
– When sawing panels, they must be lubri­
cated with petroleum, but thin-walled pro­
files (up to 1/8" (3 mm)) can be sawed with­
out lubrication.

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.
