Safety instructions

2.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Machine-related safety instructions
– 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.
–Use the power tool for wet grinding and
metal grinding with just one earth leakage pro-
tection device. In the event of an electric shock,
the protective switch protects you against life-
threatening current through the body.
– Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for exam-
ple sanding pad or polishing felt, with water and
allow to dry. Work equipment soaked in oil may
combust spontaneously.
– Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the
grinding material and the sander. Always empty
the dust container before taking a break. Swarf
in the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the
filter bag or filter of the mobile dust extractor)
may spontaneously combust in unfavourable
conditions such as flying sparks when sanding
metals. Particular danger exists if the swarf is
mixed with paint, polyurethane residue or other
chemical materials and the grinding material is
hot after long periods of work.
– Always use original Festool sanding pads. For-
eign pads are not suitable for the speed of the
sander and may break.
– 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.
2.3 Metal processing
When processing metal, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
–Install an upstream residual-current cir-
cuit-breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits in the motor
housing.
Wear protective goggles.
