d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of child-
ren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, brea-
kage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, ta-
king into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe hand-
ling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the po-
wer tool is maintained.
b) Only use original Festool parts for repair and-
maintenance. The use of incompatible accesso-
ries or spare parts can result in electric shocks
or other injuries.

Machine-related safety warnings

– Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types
of wood and metal). Contact with these dusts,
especially inhaling them, can represent a hazard
for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to
a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
– Prevent liquid polish from entering the machine.
The penetration of liquid polish into the electric
power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
– 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.

Metal processing

When processing metal, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
• Install an upstream residual-current circuit-
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
• Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor.
• Regularly remove dust deposits in the motor
housing.
Wear protective goggles.

Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known (to the State of
California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemi-
cals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemi-
cals work in a well ventilated area and
use approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed
to fi lter out microscopic particles. Wash
hands after handling.
O REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
