- Observe all national safety regulations as
well as the material manufacturer's speci­
fications!
- Always use the socket on the machine for
the purpose specified!
- Do not pull the plug from the socket by the
cable.
- Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, in order to
avoid a hazard, have them replaced by an
authorised after-sales service workshop.
- Do not lift or transport using a crane hook
or lifting gear!
- This machine must not be used by people
who might have a particularly adverse re­
action to an electric shock (e.g. people with
cardiac pacemakers), because the possi­
bility of the machine building up a static
charge cannot be excluded.
- Use only the original Festool suction hose.
Pay attention to the work environment and
-
watch out for your own safety and the
safety of others when transporting or
working with the machine.
In this way, you can for example prevent
tripping hazards caused by the suction
hose or mains cable.

Extracting asbestos dust

After the extractor is used to extract asbestos
dust in a sealed-off area, it can no longer be
used in the white area. Exceptions are only per­
mitted if the asbestos dust extractor has been
completely decontaminated by an approved
specialist. This must be recorded in writing and
signed by the approved specialist.
Fixed filters may only be replaced in suitable
areas (e.g. decontamination stations) by an ap­
proved specialist.
The applicable national regulations (for exam­
ple TRGS 519) may contain further provisions
that regulate or restrict the application areas of
the mobile dust extractor and which must be
observed when extracting dust containing as­
bestos particles.
