Frequently Asked Questions - TID 18 FESTOOL

How to replace the battery?

To replace the battery, press both extraction buttons [1-1] located on each side of the battery simultaneously, then pull the battery forward to remove it. Insert the new fully charged battery into the bottom of the tool until it clicks into place.

How to choose the appropriate speed?

Use the speed selector [1-5] to cycle through the three speeds. First speed (1200 rpm) is suitable for small diameter screws, second (2000 rpm) for general use, and third (3200 rpm) for fast screwdriving. T mode (indicated by a specific LED) is recommended for self-tapping screws in sheet metal.

How to change the direction of rotation?

Use the forward/reverse switch [1-8] located above the trigger. Push it to the left for clockwise rotation (screwing), to the right for counterclockwise rotation (unscrewing). Set it to the center position to lock the tool and prevent accidental start.

How to install a bit?

Pull the locking sleeve [1-7] forward to open the chuck, insert the bit until it stops, then release the sleeve. Check that the bit is securely locked. To remove, pull the sleeve again and remove the bit.

What type of bits to use?

Use bits with a 1/4" hexagonal shank (6.35 mm) conforming to DIN 3126 form E. CENTROTEC accessories are not compatible with this tool.

What does the audible signal mean?

An audible warning signal sounds and the tool stops in three cases: low or incompatible battery (recharge or replace battery), overload (reduce load), or overheating (let the tool cool). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the tool?

Before any cleaning, remove the battery. Keep the ventilation slots clean and unobstructed. Clean the bit holder regularly to remove metal shavings. Use a dry cloth; do not use water or solvents.

Can I use non-Festool accessories?

Festool recommends using only Festool-approved accessories for this tool. Using unauthorized accessories may increase the risk of injury and damage the tool. For bits, ensure they are compatible with the 1/4" hexagonal tool holder.

How to use T mode?

T mode is designed for small self-tapping screws (≤ 5 x 20 mm) in sheet metal. Press the speed selector [1-5] several times until the T mode LED lights up. The tool first drills at full speed, then automatically reduces speed for safe screwing.

Where to find spare parts?

Use only original Festool spare parts. You can order them from an authorized service center or via www.festool.fr/services. For repairs, contact a Festool authorized workshop.

Handling instruction

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" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Follow the operating manual for the charger and the battery pack.

2.2 Tool-specific safety instructions for cordless impact screwdriver

- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Autting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal

parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

- Use appropriate detection devices to look for any hidden supply lines or consult your local utility company. If the insertion tool makes contact with live cables, it can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can result in damage to property.

Wear suitable personal protective equipment: Ear protection and safety goggles.

- Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Make sure the speed is adjusted correctly when screwdriving. Be prepared for high reaction torque, which can arise when working with the power tool.

- Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may cause a short circuit and burning.

- Wait until the power tool has come to a complete halt before placing it down. The insertion tool can get caught and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.

- Avoid unintentional activation. Carrying the electric power tool with your fingers on the on/off switch can lead to accidents. If you are not using the power tool, set the rotational direction switch/safety lock [1-8] to the centre position to lock the on/off switch.

- Do not use power supply units or third-party battery packs to operate cordless power tools. Do not use third-party chargers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.

- Only use tools and accessories which have been approved by Festool for this power tool. The use of tools or accessories which have not been approved may increase the risk of injury and seriously unbalance the machine. This may decrease the quality of the working results and accelerate wear on the power tool.

2.3 Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level L _PA = 97 dB(A)

Sound power level L _WA = 108 dB(A)

Uncertainty K = 3 dB

CAUTION

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 EN 62841:

$$ a _ {h} = 2 4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

$$ K = 4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

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.

3 Intended use

This cordless impact screwdriver is intended for driving in and tightening screws up to the specified maximum dimensions in metal, wood, plastics and similar materials.

Self-tapping drill screws are intended for use in metal.

It must be noted that speed is directly connected to torque. This means: The lower the speed, the lower the torque.

This power tool is intended for use with BP Festool battery packs of the same voltage class.

The user is liable for damage and accidents caused by improper and non-intended use; this also includes damage and wear caused by continuous industrial operation.
