10 Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine
because these components are designed specifi -
cally for the machine. Using accessories and con-
sumable material from other suppliers will most
likely affect the quality of your working results and
limit any warranty claims. Machine wear or your
own personal workload may increase depending on
the application. Protect yourself and your machine,
and preserve your warranty claims by always using
original Festool accessories and Festool consum-
able material!
11 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of the machine, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre! Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulates
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
