Safety Instructions - Festool TI 15 Instruction Manual

5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designat-
ed battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal ob-
jects that can make a connection from one ter-
minal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
6 SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
Machine-related safety instructions
– Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
– Hold power tools by insulated gripping surface,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give te operator an electric shock.
– Switch of the power tool immediately if the tool
is blocked. Always be prepared for high reaction
torques that can cause kickback.
The tool blocks if:
- the power tool is overloaded or - it becomes
jammed in the workpiece being processed.
– Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down. The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
– Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure that the
on/off switch is in switched-off position before
inserting a battery. Carrying the power tool with
your finger at the on/off switch, or inserting the
battery when the power tool is switched on, can
result in accidents.

– Take care when drilling into walls as there is a
danger of rupturing concealed gas/water pipes
or cutting through power cables.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charger. Even
after disconnection from the mains, there is still
a high capacitor voltage inside the charger.
– Make sure that metal objects (such as metal
chips) or fluids do not collect in the battery pack
retaining slots or enter the machine through the
air vent slits (danger of short circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from external man-
ufacturers. The charger is designed for charging
original battery packs only. Never charge the bat-
tery packs in chargers from external manufac-
turers. Otherwise there is a danger of fire and
explosion.
– Protect the battery pack from excessive heat or
constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked
flames. There is a risk of explosion.
– Never use water to extinguish burning LiIon bat-
tery packs, always use sand or a fire blanket.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING! Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To re-
duce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ven-
tilated area, and work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic par-
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER MUST
