4 lnstructions on application -
maintenance - care
The equipment is generally maintenance-free.
To ensure trouble-free operation we recommend
that the following instructions be adhered to:
• Keep the air vents clean to guarantee the air
circulation for cooling.
• Keep the connection contacts clean.
• Festool chargers and Festool battery packs are
designed for each other. Therefore, only use
Festool chargers to charge Festool battery
packs.
• By keeping the battery pack in a ready for use
charger, the battery pack will be kept in a state of
readiness by float charging conservation.
• Do not keep discharged battery pack (maximum
one month) attached to charger whenever charger
is detached from the power supply (danger of
deep discharging).
• Whenever two battery packs are inserted into the
quick charger they will be charged in the order of
insertion.
• A new battery pack or a battery pack not used for
a longer period of time reaches it full capacity after
about 5 charging and discharging cycles.
• Battery packs should, before charging, be fully
discharged if possible. Continuous starting of the
charging process shortens the lifespan of the
batteries.
• Do not expose battery packs to direct rays of the
sun or high temperatures - Temperatures over
45°C will shorten the life of the battery.
• All maintenance and repair work, requiring
dismantling of equipment, may only be performed
by an authorised after-sales service workshop.
5 Recycling battery packs
Never throw spent battery packs into domestic
waste containers!
Return spent or defective battery packs to dealers,
the Festool after-sales service department or
approved waste disposal facilities.
This ensures that they are correctly recycled.
