manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
– 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.
