Information on battery packs
– Where possible, store the battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature between
5 °C and 25 °C.
– Battery packs are most efficient at temper-
atures between 20 °C and 30 °C.
– Protect the battery pack from moisture, wa-
ter and heat.
– Significantly shorter operating times after
each charge indicate that the battery pack is
worn and should be replaced with a new
one.
– The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible
with the charger! Integrated electronics pre-
vent overloading and overheating during the
charging process.
– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger
[7]
disconnected from the mains power supply
for longer than one month. There is a risk of
total discharge and the maximum power of
the battery pack may decrease.
– Store the battery pack in its packaging to re-
duce the risk of short circuits..
– If LiIon battery packs are to be stored for
long periods without use, they should be
charged to 40 % capacity (approx. 15 mins.
charging period).

Accessories

Use only original Festool accessories and Fes-
tool consumable material intended for this
machine because these components are de-
signed specifically for the machine. Using ac-
cessories and consumable material from other
suppliers will most likely affect the quality of
your working results and limit any warranty
claims. Machine wear or your own personal
workload may increase depending on the ap-
plication. Protect yourself and your machine,
and preserve your warranty claims by always
using original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and
tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or
on the Internet under "www.festool.com".

Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally responsible
recycling centre. Observe the valid national
regulations.
