OF 2200 EB
move a removable battery before adjusting
the tool settings, changing accessory parts
or putting the tool aside. This precautionary
measure prevents the power tool from being
started up unintentionally.
d. When not in use, keep power tools out of the
reach of children. Personnel should not be al-
lowed to use the device if they are not familiar
with it or have not read these instructions.
Power tools pose a hazard when used by inex-
perienced personnel.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories with
care. Check that moving parts are function-
ing correctly and do not jam, and whether any
parts are broken or damaged so badly that
the power tool will not function correctly as
a result. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the tool. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges jam less frequently and are easier to
guide.
g. Use the power tool, accessories, insertion
tools, etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions. Also take into account the working con-
ditions and the job in hand. Using power tools
for applications other than those intended may
create hazardous situations.
h. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean
and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles
and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe
operation and control of the power tool in un-
foreseeable situations.
5 USING AND HANDLING CORDLESS TOOLS
a. Only charge the batteries in chargers recom-
mended by the manufacturer. There is a risk of
fire when using a charger which is meant for a
specific type of battery with a different battery.
b. Only use the correct batteries in the power
tools. The use of different batteries may lead
to injury and a risk of fire.
c. When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects which could
bridge the contacts. A short circuit between
the battery contacts may pose a risk of burns
or fire.
d. Fluid may leak out of the battery if it is used
incorrectly. Avoid contact with the fluid. Rinse
with water any areas which accidentally come
18
into contact with the fluid. If fluid gets into the
eyes, also consult a doctor. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
e. Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
Batteries which are damaged or which have
been modified may behave unpredictably, which
could lead to fire, explosion or the risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive
temperatures. Fire or temperatures exceeding
130 °C may cause an explosion.
g. Follow all instructions on charging and never
charge the battery or the cordless tool outside
the temperature range stated in the operating
instructions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature range can
destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a. Only ever have your power tool repaired by
qualified specialist staff and always use origi-
nal spare parts. This ensures that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never perform maintenance on damaged
batteries. Maintenance on batteries should
only ever be performed by the manufacturer
or authorised customer service centres.
c. Only use original parts for repairs and main-
tenance. The use of incompatible accessories
or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the cutter may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
- 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.
- Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly and
that it runs perfectly.
- The clamping collet and locking nut must not
show any signs of damage.
- Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1. All
Festool routing tools fulfil these requirements.
- The maximum rotational speed specified on
the tool must not be exceeded and the rota-
tional speed range must be observed.
- Do not use cracked or deformed router bits.
