housing should only be carried out by an
authorised Customer Service Centre (name
supplied by your dealer)! Maintenance or
repair work carried out by an unauthorised
person can lead to the wrong connection of
the power leads or other components, which
in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
To prevent accidents, always re-
move the plug from the power supply socket
before carrying out any maintenance or repair
work on the machine! Do not use compressed
air to clean the electrical tool! Do not try to
clean parts inside the machine in this way, as
you could let foreign objects in through the
openings of the machine housing.
Certain cleaning agents and sol-
vents are harmful to plastic parts. Some of
these are: gasoline, carbonyl chloride, clean-
ing solutions containing chlorine, ammonia
and household cleaners containing ammonia.
To assure the circulation of air, the cool air
vents in the motor housing must always be
kept clear and clean.
This unit is fi tted with special, automati-
cally disconnecting carbon brushes. If these
become worn, the current is automatically
switched off and the unit shuts down. In this
case, take the unit to an authorised Customer
Service Centre and have the carbon brushes
changed.

Conditions of 1+2 Warranty
You are entitled to a free extended warranty
(1 year + 2 years = 3 years) for your Festool

all shipping costs during the fi rst year of the

the warranty the customer is responsible for
shipping the tool to Festool. Festool will pay
for return shipping to the customer using UPS
Ground Service. All warranty service is valid
3 years from the date of purchase on your
receipt or invoice.
Festool Limited Warranty
This warranty is valid on the pre-condition that
the tool is used and operated in compliance
with the Festool operating instructions. Fes-
tool warrants, only to the original consumer
purchaser, that the specifi ed tool will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship
for a term of one year from the date of pro-
curement. Festool makes no other warranty,
express or implied, for Festool portable power
tools. No agent, representative, distributor,
dealer or employee of Festool has the au-
thority to increase or otherwise change the
obligations or limitations of this warranty. The
obligations of Festool in its sole discretion un-
der this warranty shall be limited to the repair
or replacement of any Festool portable power
tool that is found to be defective as packaged
with the User Manual.
Excluded from coverage under this warranty
are: normal wear and tear; damages caused
by misuse, abuse or neglect; damage caused
by anything other than defects in material and
workmanship. This warranty does not apply to
accessory items such as circular saw blades,
drill bits, router bits, jigsaw blades, sanding
belts, and grinding wheels. Also excluded
are “wearing parts”, such as carbon brushes,
lamellas of air tools, rubber collars and seals,
sanding discs and pads, and batteries.
Festool portable power tools requiring replace-
ment or repair are to be returned with the
receipt of purchase to Festool (call 800-554-

IN NO EVENT SHALL FESTOOL BE LIABLE
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDEN-
TAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED WHATSOEVER. ALL WARRAN-
TIES IMPLIED BY STATE LAW, INCLUD-
ING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THREE
YEARS.
Some states in the U.S. and some Canadian
provinces do not allow the limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitation may not apply to you. With the ex-
ception of any warranties implied by state or
province law as hereby limited, the foregoing
express limited warranty is exclusive and in
lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, agree-
ments and similar obligations of Festool.
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights
and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state in the U.S. and province
to province in Canada.
