Safety instructions

5.1 General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.2 Tool-specifi c safety rules
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool ""live"" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
- The tools must be designed for the speed
specifi ed on the power tool at a minimum. Tools
running at overspeeds can fl y apart and cause
injury.
- Use the machine only with the guide frame
mounted. The guide frame protects the user
against broken-off parts of the jointer bit and
accidental contact with the jointer bit.
- The DF 500 Q must only be fi tted with the jointer
bits offered by Festool for this purpose. The
use of other jointer bits is prohibited due to the
increased risk of injury.
- Never work with blunt or damaged jointer bits.
Blunt or damaged jointer bits can lead to a loss
of control of the power tool.
- When the motor unit is released, it must move
back actuated by spring force so that the jointer
bit disappears completely in the protective
cover. If this does not happen, the machine must
be switched off immediately and repaired before
reuse.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
