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 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.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
8
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batter-
ies may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Machine-related safety instructions

– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cut-
ting accessory contacting "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
– Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
– Stroboscopic light can cause epileptic seizures.
Do not use this machine if you are susceptible to
epileptic seizures.
– Do not look into the stroboscope light. Looking
into the light source can damage your vision.

Further safety instructions

– Harmful/poisonous dust may arise when work-
ing (e.g. paint products containing lead and
some types of wood). Contact with or inhalation
of this dust may pose a risk for the operating per-
sonnel or persons in the vicinity. Observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health.
– Festool electric power tools must only be in-
stalled on work tables provided by Festool for
this purpose. If the tool is installed in another, or
self-made, work table, it can become unstable
and result in serious accidents.
