Intended Use - Festool OSC 18 Original Instructions Manual

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.
– Grip the electric power tool securely so
that your body never comes into contact
with the operating tool, especially when
working with saw blades or cutting tools
directed towards the grip area, for exam­
ple. Contact with sharp blades or edges
can result in injuries.
After machining materials that contain
–
gypsum: Clean the vents of the power tool
and on/off switch using dry, oil-free com­
pressed air. Otherwise, gypsum dust de­
posits may build up inside the power tool's
housing and on the on/off switch and hard­
en when exposed to humidity. This may im­
pair the switching mechanism
Wait until the power tool has come to a
–
complete halt before placing it down. The
insertion tool can get caught and lead to a
loss of control of the power tool.
Do not use power supply units or third-
–
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg­
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
Do not use the power tool in the rain or in
–
damp surroundings. Moisture in the power
tool may cause a short circuit and fire.
2.3 Metal processing
When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex­
tractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of
the machine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.
2.4 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance with
EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level

are used to compare machines.
They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro­
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.
