T 12+3 T 15+3 T 18+3 General safety instructions WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Machine-related safety instructions – Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. – The charger and power tool are not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental ability or without sufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have been instructed on how the charger or power tool is to be used.Children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the charger or the power tools. – Switch of the power tool immediately if the tool is blocked. Always be pre- pared for high reaction torques that can cause kickback. The tool blocks if: - the power tool is overloaded or - it becomes jammed in the workpiece being processed. – Wait until the power tool stops completely until placing it down. The tool can become entangled and lead to a loss of control of the power tool. – Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure that the on/off switch is in switchedoff position before inserting a battery. Carrying the power tool with your finger at the on/off switch, or inserting the battery when the power tool is switched on, can result in accidents. – Take care when drilling into walls as there is a danger of rupturing concealed gas/water pipes or cutting through power cables. – Do not open the battery pack or the charger. Even after disconnection from the mains, there is still a high capacitor voltage inside the charger. – Make sure that metal objects (such as metal chips) or fluids do not collect in the battery pack retaining slots or enter the machine through the air vent slits (danger of short circuit). – Do not charge battery packs from external manufacturers. The charger is designed for charging original battery packs only. Never charge the battery packs in chargers from external manufacturers. Otherwise there is a danger of fire and explosion. – Protect the battery pack from excessive heat or constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked flames. There is a risk of explosion. – Never use water to extinguish burning LiIon battery packs, always use sand or a fire blanket. Emission levels Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are typically: Sound pressure level Noise level Uncertainty LPA = 65 dB(A) LWA = 76 dB(A) K = 3 dB

CAUTION Operating noise Damage to hearing X Use ear protection! Vibration emission value ah (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 60745: Drilling in metal ah < 2,5 m/s2 Screws The emission values specified (vibration, noise) were measured in accordance with the test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended for machine comparisons. They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation. The emission values specified refer to the main applications for which the power tool is used. If the electric power tool is used for other applications, with other tools or is not maintained sufficiently prior to operation, however, the vibration and noise load may be higher when the tool is used. Take into account any machine idling times and downtimes to estimate these values more accurately for a specified time period. This may significantly reduce the load during the machine operating period.

Changing the battery pack [2] L All battery packs in the BPS and BPC series can be used with the Festool cordless drills T12+3, T15+3 , T18+3. Li-ion Battery packs can also be used with a lower voltage than that of the cordless drill. L When using NiMH or NiCd battery packs, the vacant opening can be closed with the blanking plug [2-1]. Charging the battery pack [3] L The battery pack is delivered partially charged. NiMH: Charge the battery pack completely before using for the first time.

LiIon: The battery pack is immediately ready for operation and can be charged at any time without shortening the service life. The charger TRC 3 can be used to charge all Festool battery packs of the BPS and BPC series. The charger automatically detects the type of the inserted battery (NiCd, NiMH or LiIon). A microprocessor controls the charging process in line with the charging state, temperature and voltage of the battery pack. If a warm NiMH battery pack (> 37 °C) is inserted, the pack is charged with a reduced charging current and will take longer to charge. The LED [3-1] on the charger indicates the respective operating status of the charger. LED yellow - lit continuously Charger is ready to use. LED green - flashing quickly Battery pack is charged to maximum capacity. LED green - flashing slowly Battery pack is charged with reduced current, LiIon is charged to 80 %. LED green - lit continuously Battery pack is fully charged, or charging is not started again, because the battery is charged to more than 80 %. LED red - flashing General fault display, e.g. incomplete contact, short circuit, battery pack faulty, etc.

• Gear switch forwards (digit 1 visible) = 1st gear
• Gear switch to rear (digit 2 visible) = 2nd gear Fastening Adjust the switch so that [1-8] its marking faces the screw [1-7] symbol. The torque can be adjusted in this position. L The switch-over function only works if the machine is switched off. X Adjust the torque accordingly at the torque [1-10] wheel: Position 1 = low torque Position 25 = high torque The machine switches off when the preset torque is reached and an acoustic signal sounds. The machine only continues running when the on/off switch is [1-3] released and then pressed again. Drilling Adjust the switch [1-8] so that its marking faces the drilling symbol [1-6]. Maximum torque is set in this position.

Tool holder, attachments WARNING Risk of injury, electric shock X Always disconnect the battery pack before any type of work on the machine! LED red - lit continuously Battery temperature is outside the permitted range. Charger wall mount The charger TRC 3 has two elongated holes on its back. It can be mounted on a wall using two screws (e.g. round head or flat head screw with shank diameter of 5 mm) (see Fig. [3]).

Tool has sharp edges and can cause cutting injuries during a tool change. X Wear protective gloves!

Settings Changing direction of rotation [1-4]

• Switch to the left = clockwise rotation
• Switch to the right = counterclockwise rotation Changing gear [1-5] L Only actuate the gear switch with the tool switched off. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the gear unit.

Tool chuck CENTROTEC WH-CE [4] The tool chuck CENTROTEC WH-CE allows you to change tools with a CENTROTEC shank in a matter of seconds. L Always use a CENTROTEC tool chuck to clamp CENTROTEC tools. CAUTION

Chuck BF-FX [5] The chuck BF-FX is used for clamping drill and screwdriver bits. CAUTION Risk of injury X Clamp the tool centrally in the chuck! Angle attachment DD-AS [6] The angle attachment DD-AS (in part, additional equipment) permits drilling and screwdriving at a right angle to the machine. Eccentric attachment DD-ES [7] The eccentric attachment (in part, additional equipment) permits screwdriving near edges with bits according to DIN 3126. Tool holder in the drill spindle [8] Bits can be inserted directly in the hexagon socket holder on the drill spindle to shorten and reduce the weight of the machine.

Working with the machine

On/Off switch [1-3] Press = ON, release = OFF L The speed of the machine depends on how far the on/off switch is pressed in. Bit store [1-2] Bits or bit holders are inserted sideways into the bit store. Acoustic warning signal Acoustic warning signals sound and the machine switches off in the following operating states: peep ― ― – Battery flat or machine overloaded. X Change the battery. X Place the machine under reduced stress. peep peep ― – Machine is overheating. X You must allow the machine to cool before using again. peep peep peep – LiIon battery pack is faulty or has overheated. X Once the battery pack has cooled, perform a functional check using the charger.

Service and maintenance Observe the following instructions: – Keep the air slits on the machine and the charger free and clean to ensure adequate cooling. – Keep the contacts on the machine, charger and battery pack clean. Information on battery packs – Where possible, store the battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature between 5 °C and 25 °C. – Battery packs are most efficient at temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C. – Protect the battery pack from moisture, water and heat. – Significantly shorter operating times after each charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and should be replaced with a new one. – The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible with the charger! Integrated electronics prevent overloading and overheating during the charging process. – Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger disconnected from the mains power supply for longer than one month. There is a risk of total discharge and the maximum power of the battery pack may decrease. – Store the battery pack in its packaging to reduce the risk of short circuits.. – The following applies if the battery packs are to be taken out of service and stored for a long period: NiMH battery packs should be stored when fully charged; Li-ion battery packs should be stored with a charge of 40% (charging period approx. 15 mins.). – NiMH battery packs that are new or have not been used for long periods reach full capacity after approx. five charging and discharging cycles. – The capacity of NiMH battery packs decreases drastically at ambient temperatures below 0 °C or above 45 °C. – Charge NiMH battery packs every four months to retain maximum capacity. – After every ten charging processes, leave – NiMH battery packs in the charger for an extra hour following rapid charging to compensate for potential differences in capacity between the battery cells.

Use only original Festool accessories and Festool consumable material intended for this machine because these components are designed specifically for the machine. Using accessories and consumable 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 consumable material! The order numbers of the accessories and tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under "www.festool.com".

Disposal Do not throw the power tool in your household waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and packaging at an environmentally responsible recycling centre. Observe the valid national regulations. 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. Return used or faulty battery packs to your local specialist retailer, Festool after-sales service or a designated public waste management facility. The battery packs will then be recycled. (Observe the regulations applicable in your country). The batteries must be discharged on return. EU only: European Directive 91/157/EEC stipulates that faulty or used battery packs/ batteries must be recycled.

Transport The equivalent amount of lithium in the LiIon battery pack is less than the applicable limit value and certified as per UN manual ST/SG/ AC.10/11/rev. 3 part III, subsection 38.3. The LiIon battery pack is therefore not subject to national and international dangerous goods regulations, neither as an individual component nor as a fitted machine component. However, dangerous goods regulations may apply when several battery packs are transported, in which case you may have to fulfil special conditions. Refer to ADR special regulation 230 for more information relevant for the EU.
