persons in the vicinity. Comply with the
safety regulations that apply in your coun­
try. Connect the power tool to a suitable
dust extractor.
Wear at least a P2 respiratory mask to
–
protect your health. Ensure there is ade­
quate ventilation in enclosed spaces.
Use a residual-current circuit break­
–
er (RCCB) or an isolating transformer if
operation of the power tool in a damp en­
vironment cannot be avoided. In the event
of an electric shock, the residual-current
circuit breaker (RCCB) or isolating trans­
former protects you against life-threaten­
ing current through the body.
– If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust
is produced during sanding, the machining
instructions issued by the material manu­
facturer must always be followed.
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 asbes­
–
tos must not be processed. Sparks may be
created in the dust bag when processing
metals. This increases the risk of fire.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands
–
and maintain a stable stance when per­
forming work. Using both hands ensures
that the power tool is guided safely, see
Section 9.2
Warning of harmful light radiation.
–
Do not look into the light beam for long
periods. Do not direct the light beam to­
wards other people or animals. Optical ra­
diation can damage the eyes.
Always use an antistatic suction hose (AS)
–
with the power tool. A slight electric shock
may cause you to panic briefly and become
distracted, which may result in an accident.
– Always use original Festool backing pads.
Pads from other manufacturers can break.

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 exposures varies, depend­
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re­
duce your exposure 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 par­
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER
MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
