Frequently Asked Questions - TXS 2 6Plus FESTOOL

How to change the rotation speed?

Use the speed selector [1-4] located on top of the tool. Push it forward for 1st speed (0-430 rpm) or backward for 2nd speed (0-1300 rpm). Make this adjustment only when the tool is at a standstill.

How to adjust the screwdriving torque?

Turn the torque ring [1-2] to select one of the 12 positions (from 1 to 12). The mark [1-3] indicates the selected position. For drilling, align the mark with the drill symbol [1-1] to obtain maximum torque.

How to charge the battery?

Insert the battery into the MXC charger [3]. The LED [3-1] indicates the status: steady yellow = charger ready, fast flashing green = fast charging, slow flashing green = 80% charged, steady green = battery charged. Observe the permissible temperature range (0 °C to 45 °C).

What to do if the LED light flashes?

If the tool stops and the capacity indicator flashes, the battery is empty: recharge it. If the indicator does not flash, the tool is overheated or overloaded: reduce the load and let the tool cool down.

How to use the XS-AS angle attachment?

The angle attachment (accessory) allows drilling and screwdriving at right angles. Attach it to the drilling spindle. It can be adjusted to 16 angular positions to suit your work.

What are the maximum drilling diameters?

The maximum drilling diameter is 12 mm in wood and 8 mm in metal. Use drill bits suitable for these dimensions.

How to clean and maintain the tool?

Before any maintenance, remove the battery. Keep the ventilation openings clean and clear. Clean the contacts of the tool, charger, and battery. Store in a dry and cool place (5 °C to 25 °C).

Can I use batteries of other brands?

No, use only Festool batteries designed for this tool. Using batteries from other manufacturers may cause electric shock and serious accidents.

How to store the battery if not in use?

For long-term storage, charge the battery to 40% of its capacity (about 15 minutes of charging). Store it in a dry, cool place away from moisture, ideally in its original packaging to avoid short circuits.

Where to find original spare parts?

Original Festool spare parts are available on the website www.festool.fr/services or from an authorized after-sales service workshop. Use only original parts to ensure safety and performance.

2 Safety warnings

2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered power tools (with power cable) or battery-powered power tools (without power cable).

2.2 Machine-specific safety notices for cordless drills

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-cal utility company for assistance. Aontact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-trating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Four black circular icons representing head, face, helmet, and hand symbols (no text or labels)

Wear suitable personal protective equipment: ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which generates dust, and protective gloves when working with raw materials and when changing tools.

CAUTION! Power tool can block and cause sudden kickback! Switch off imme-

diately!

- Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

• a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
  – c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

2.3 Machine-specific safety instructions for battery pack and charger

• This charger can be operated by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of practical experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or have been instructed to use the machine safely and understand the dangers of machine operation. Children are not allowed use or play with the machine.
• Do not open the battery pack or charger.
• Protect the charger from metal components (e.g. swarf) and liquids.
• Do not use power adapters or battery packs form other manufacturers to operate the cordless power tool. Do not use any charger from other manufacturers for charging the battery pack. The use of impermissible accessories may result in electric shock and / or serious accidents!
• Protect the battery pack from heat > 50 °C or constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked flames.
• Never use water to extinguish burning Li-ion battery packs; always use sand or a fire blanket.
• Check the plug and the cable regularly in order to prevent a hazard. In the event of damage, these must be replaced by an authorised service workshop only.
• Always pull the mains plug out of the socket when the charger is not in use.

2.4 Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level L

$$ _ {P A} = 6 3 \mathrm{dB(A)} $$

Sound power level L

$$ _ {W A} = 7 4 \mathrm{dB(A)} $$

Uncertainty K = 3 dB

Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing

▶ Use ear protection.

Vibration emission level a_h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with 62841:

Fastening

$$ a _ {h} = < 2. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

Drilling in metal

$$ a _ {h} = 3. 0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)

• are used to compare machines.
• They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.
• They represent the primary applications of the power tool.

CAUTION

The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined.

▶ The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated.
▶ Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.
