5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Never allow children to use the machine.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- This power tool is intended to function as a
sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifi cations provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury.
- Operations such as grinding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. Opera-
tions for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
- Do not use accessories which are not specifi -
cally designed and recommended by Festool.
Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe opera-
tion.
- The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
- The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
- The arbour size of wheels, fl anges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fi t
the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of bal-
ance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged ac-
cessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
