– Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure
that the on/off switch is in switched-
off position before inserting a battery.
Carrying the power tool with your finger at
the on/off switch, or inserting the battery
when the power tool is switched on, can re-
sult in accidents.
– Take care when drilling into walls as there
is a danger of rupturing concealed gas/wa-
ter pipes or cutting through power cables.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charg-
er. Even after disconnection from the
mains, there is still a high capacitor voltage
inside the charger.
– Make sure that metal objects (such as met-
al chips) or fluids do not collect in the bat-
tery pack retaining slots or enter the
machine through the air vent slits (danger
of short circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from external
manufacturers. The charger is designed for
charging original battery packs only. Never
charge the battery packs in chargers from
external manufacturers. Otherwise there is
a danger of fire and explosion.
– Protect the battery pack from exces-
sive heat or constant heat sources
such as sunlight or naked flames.
There is a risk of explosion.
– Never use water to extinguish burning
LiIon battery packs, always use sand or
a fire blanket.

The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be
higher when the tool is used. Take into ac-
count any machine idling times and down-
times to estimate these values more accu-
rately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the ma-
chine operating period.

Festool battery packs
With the Festool cordless impact screw driver
TI 15 all Festool battery packs from the BPS
and BPC series can be used at the same volt-
age.
L The battery pack is immediately ready for
operation upon delivery and can be
charged at any time independently of its
charge state without shortening the ser-
vice life.
Changing the battery pack [2]
The capacity display [1-7] automatically dis-
plays the charge state of the battery pack
[1-2] when the ON/OFF switch is actuated:
70 - 100 %
40 - 70 %
15 - 40 %
