Festool TDC 18/4 Original Instructions Manual page 15

Firmly hold the power tool with both
–
hands, with one hand on the handle [1-10]
and the other hand on the auxiliary han­
dle [1-7]. Make sure the speed is adjusted
correctly when screwdriving. Be prepared
for a high reaction torque, which may
cause the power tool to turn and lead to in­
jury.
– 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.
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.
– Avoid unintentional activation. Carrying
the electric power tool with your fingers on
the on/off switch can lead to accidents.
If you are not using the power tool, set the
rotational direction switch/safety lock [1-9]
to the centre position to lock the on/off
switch.
– Do not lock the on/off switch in place per­
manently.
– 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.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Warning of harmful light radiation.
–
Do not look into the light beam for long
periods. Do not direct the light beam to­
wards other people or animals. Optical ra­
diation can damage the eyes – [4].
– Use a dust extractor when working with
dust.
Only use tools and accessories which have
–
been approved by Festool for this power
tool. The use of tools or accessories which
have not been approved may increase the
risk of injury and seriously unbalance the
machine. This may decrease the quality of
the working results and accelerate wear on
the power tool.
2.3 Safety instructions when using long
drill bits
– Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al­
lowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
– Always start drilling at low speed and with
the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al­
lowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
– Apply pressure only in direct line with the
bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of
control, resulting in personal injury.

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– 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.
