Machine-Related Safety Instructions - Festool KA 65 Guide D'utilisation

making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the pow-
er tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5 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

– Always hold the machine by the insulated han-
dles because the heating unit and adhesive noz-
zle can become very hot. Risk of burns!
– Always use the machine in well-ventilated
rooms. Otherwise there is a risk that excessive
quantities of vapour will develop during work.
– Do not use the machine for overhead work.
When performing overhead work, there is a dan-
ger of hot liquid adhesive dripping on the ma-
chine operator.
– Protect the machine from moisture. Moisture
can cause electric shocks.
– Protect the cable from heat sources, oil and
sharp edges and keep away from hot machine
components. Damage to the cable can cause
electric shocks.

– Check the plug and the cable regularly to avoid
hazards and have them replaced by an autho-
rised after-sales service workshop if they be-
come damaged. A defective plug or cable can
cause electric shocks.
– Do not pull the plug from the socket by the ca-
ble.The plug or cable may become damaged and
cause electric shocks.
– Always use an extension cable with protective
earth conductor. If an extension cable is used
without a protective earth conductor, the ma-
chine's electrical system is no longer protected,
which can cause electric shocks.
– CAUTION: To provide continued protection
against risk of electric shock, connect to prop-
erly grounded outlets only.
– Always remove melted adhesive cartridges by
purging. Adhesive cartridges that are not melted
can be removed by hand.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment:
dust mask for reducing the risk of inhaling haz-
ardous vapours, protective gloves for handling
hot machine components, safety goggles.
– The Festool edge bander should always be
mounted on work benches using the stationary
fixture supplied by Festool. The electric power
tool may become unsafe and cause serious acci-
dents if installed in benches from other manufac-
turers or self-manufactured work benches.
– Always use original Festool accessories and ad-
hesive cartridges. Only products tested and ap-
proved by Festool are harmless to health and
perfectly adapted to the machine and application.
Please refer to the safety data sheet for addition-
al specifications. See Festool catalogue or
www.festool.com.
– Observe national safety regulations!
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.
