Festool T18+3 Original Instructions Manual page 13

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
d.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa­
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
e.
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi­
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be­
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
f.
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may
cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the in­
structions. Charging improperly or at tem­
peratures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
6 SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a quali­
a.
fied repair person using only identical re­
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or author­
ized service providers.
c. Only use original Festool parts for repair
and maintenance. The use of incompatible
accessories or spare parts can result in
electric shocks or other injuries.
Follow the operating manual for the charger
and the battery pack.
2.2 Machine-specific safety notices
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
–
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory or fasteners
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting acces­
sory contacting a "live" wire may make ex­
posed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
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.
2.3 Further safety instructions
Use appropriate detection devices to look
–
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection and safety goggles.
CAUTION! Power tool can jam and cause
sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!
– Hold the power tool firmly in your hand.
Make sure the speed is adjusted correctly
when screwdriving. Be prepared for a high
reaction torque, which may cause the pow­
er tool to turn and possibly lead to injury.
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.
– 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.
