Toolholder CENTROTEC WH-CE
The CENTROTEC toolholder enables rapid
changes of tools with CENTROTEC shafts.
Do not fit CENTROTEC tools at the
round shaft section in a conventional chuck to
prevent damage to the shaft.
Danger of injury! When
changing tools, handle the tool and its sharp
cutters with special care and wear protective
gloves, if necessary.

- Pull the unlocking ring (2.14) forwards, press
the chuck onto the drill spindle up to the
stop and release the unlocking ring.
Removal
- Pull the release ring forwards and take off
the toolholder.
Changing tools
- To insert or remove a tool with CENTROTEC
shaft, pull the green release ring (2.13) back.
On inserting the tool, turn it until its hex
shank arbour (2.12) locks in place in the
hexagonal shank of the drill spindle, and push
the tool into the toolholder as far as it will
go.
Tool holding fixture in the drill
spindle
Bits can be fitted directly in the hexagon socket
holder of the drill spindle (2.11) to make the
machine lighter and shorter.
Charge battery pack
The charger MC 15 can be used to charge all
NiCd-Festool battery packs between 4.8 V and
12 V in the battery chamber (3.1).
The charge process is controlled by a micro-
processor. The optimum charging current is
always used depending on the temperature,
voltage and internal resistance.
The LED (3.2) indicates the respective charging
operation of the charger.
LED yellow - steady =
Charger is ready for use.
LED green - flashing =
Battery pack being charged.
LED green - fast flashing =
Battery pack being charged at max. charging
current.
LED green - steady =
Battery pack fully charged, conservation
charge on.
LED red - flashing =
MC 15
General malfunction, e. g. incorrect polarity
of battery pack, full contact not being made,
short-circuit, battery pack faulty.
LED red - steady =
Temperature of battery pack is outside
permissible limit.
If the battery pack is removed from the
charging chamber during charging, charging
can only be continued after 1-2 seconds when
the LED shows a steady yellow.
Charging with the MC 15
- Connect charger to mains.
The line voltage and frequency must
correspond with the data on the ratings plate!
- Insert battery pack with the fin (2.2) in the
lower groove (3.4) of the charging chamber.
- Push battery pack into charging chamber
until it catches with the lock (2.3) in the
groove (3.3).
The battery pack is now charged.
Press the button (1.1) to unlock it and remove
it from the charger.
Accessories, tools
The accessory and tool order number can be
found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool-usa.com".
Bit depot
Attachments which are used on a regular basis,
as for example the chuck key (4.2), bit extender
(4.3) or different bits (4.5), can be clipped onto
the bit depot (4.1).
The bit depot can be snapped into the bottom
of the drill/screwdriver with its mounting lugs
(4.6). When the mounting lugs are inserted into
the corresponding holes (4.4) and the magazine
is slid sideways the contour of the case aligns
with the contour of the magazine.
The spring loaded catch of the bit magazine
can loosen on impact of drill/screwdriver.
lnstructions on application -

Please pay attention to the
following instructions. Otherwise there is a risk
of damage to the tool, charger or battery pack.
• Keep the air vents of the electronic
equipment and the charger clean to
guarantee the air circulation for cooling.
• Keep the connection contacts of electronic
equipment, charger and battery pack clean.
• Festool chargers and Festool battery packs
are designed for each other. Therefore, only
use Festool chargers to charge Festool
battery packs.
• By keeping the battery pack in a ready for
use charger, the battery pack will be kept in
