Machine-related safety instructions
– Dust that is harmful to your health may be pro-
duced as you work (e.g. paint products contain-
ing 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.
Observe the safety regulations that apply in your
country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect your
health. In enclosed spaces, ensure that
there is sufficient ventilation and connect an
extraction system.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
– Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for exam-
ple sanding pad or polishing felt, with water and
allow to dry. Work equipment soaked in oil may
combust spontaneously.
– Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the
grinding material and the sander. Always empty
the dust container before taking a break. Swarf
in the filter bag or filter of the mobile dust ex-
tractor may self-ignite in unfavourable condi-
tions such as flying sparks when grinding metals.
Particular danger exists if the swarf is mixed with
paint, polyurethane residue or other chemical
materials and the grinding material is hot after
long periods of work.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check for
damage to the machine and sanding pad. Re-
move the sanding pad for closer inspection. Re-
pair damaged parts before using again. Broken
sanding pads and damaged machines can cause
injuries and machine instability.
– Always use original Festool sanding pads. For-
eign pads are not suitable for the speed of the
sander and may break.
– While using the long-life dust bag be aware of
electric charge. Always when possible use an
antistatic suction hose with the power tool. A
slight electric shock may cause you to panic
briefly and become distracted, which may result
in an accident.
– Only use the mains adapter with this device.
– Only use the mains adapter together with an
original Festool plug-it cable.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-
plied via residual current device with a rated re-
sidual current of 30 mA or less.

tions
