Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop
f.
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
g.
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc
tions, taking into account the working con
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz
ardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
h.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
Have your power tool repaired by qualified
a.
specialists only and always use original
spare parts. This ensures that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Only use original parts for repairs and
b.
maintenance. The use of incompatible ac
cessories or spare parts can result in elec
tric shocks or other injuries.
3.2
Machine-specific safety notices
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
–
surfaces only, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pow
er tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to se
–
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
–
Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable
shank diameter in the clamping collet.
–
Operate power tool only with properly in
stalled guide table and extraction hood
Only cutters provided by Festool for this
–
purpose may be mounted on the power
tool. The use of other cutters is prohibited
due to the increased risk of injury.
–
Only use tools that meet standard
EN 847-1. All Festool routing tools fulfi l
these requirements.
–
The clamping collet and locking nut must
not show any signs of damage
–
Do not use cracked or deformed router
bits.
–
Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly
and that it runs perfectly.
–
The maximum rotational speed specified
on the tool must not be exceeded or the
rotational speed range must be observed.
Accessories that rotate faster than the per
missible level can rupture.
–
Do not work on the power tool if its elec
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex
cessive speeds. You can tell if the electron
ics are defective if there is no smooth start-
up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed
and in the event of generation of smoke or
the smell of burning from the machine.
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
–
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
3.3
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 expo
sures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your expo
sure 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 particles. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER
MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
