2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in structions, illustrations and specifica tions 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 Machine-specific safety notices

– Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting acces sory contacting a "live" wire may make ex posed 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. – Keep the power tool away from magnetic fields. The power tool may switch on unex pectedly and cause injury.

Wear suitable personal protective equip ment: Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work that generates dust. CAUTION! Power tool can jam and cause sudden kickback! Switch off immediately! English 15– Firmly hold the power tool with one hand on the handle [1-8] and keep the other hand away from the hazard area. Make sure the speed is adjusted correctly when screwdriving. Be prepared for a high reac tion torque, which may cause the power tool to turn and lead to injury. – Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may cause a short circuit and fire. – 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. When you are not using the power tool, set the switch for the transport lock [1-7] to the centre position. – Do not manipulate or block controls, e.g. 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 charg ers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents. – Warning of harmful light radiation. Do not look into the light beam for long periods. Do not direct the light beam to wards other people or animals. Optical ra diation can damage the eyes – [4]. – Use a dust extractor when working with dust. – Do not use any insertion tools or accesso ries that the manufacturer has not spe cially designed or recommended for this power tool. Just because you can attach accessories or insertion tools to your pow er tool does not guarantee that they can be used safely. This may increase the risk of injury, accelerate the wear on the power tool and decrease the quality of the working results. – Depending on the type and use of the ac cessory, particles, the insertion tool or parts of the insertion tool could come loose. This can lead to increased exposure to dust and to unexpected movements. Wear suitable personal protective equip ment. Be prepared for a high reaction tor que, which may cause the power tool to turn and lead to injury.

2.3 Safety instructions when using long

drill bits – Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al lowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury. – 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 al lowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury. – 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.

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically: Sound pressure level L

= 83 dB(A) Uncertainty K = 3 dB CAUTION Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing ► Use ear protection. Vibration emission level a

(vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:

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. English 16CAUTION 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 pro tective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator. 3 Intended use Cordless drill suitable – for drilling in metal, wood, plastics and similar materials, – for screwing in and tightening screws. – intended for use with BP Festool battery packs of the same voltage class. The user is liable for damage and acci dents caused by improper and non-inten ded use; this also includes damage and wear caused by continuous industrial operation. 4 Technical data Cordless drill CXS 18, TXS 18 Motor voltage 18 V No-load speed* 1st gear 0 – 470 rpm 2nd gear 0 – 1600 rpm Max. torque Soft material (wood) 22 Nm Hard material (metal) 40 Nm Adjustable torque** 1st gear 1.1 – 8 Nm 2nd gear 0.4 – 2.3 Nm Chuck clamping range 1.0 – 10 mm*** Max. drill diameter Wood 35 mm Metal 10 mm Screwdriving in spruce Max. dia. 6 mm Tool holder in drill spindle 1/4 " Weight with chuck and belt clip, without battery pack. 1 kg

7.1 Belt clip [1-10]

The belt clip allows the power tool to be attach ed to work attire for brief periods. It can be at tached to the right or left of the power tool us ing a screw [3].

7.2 Switching on/off [1-5]

Press = ON, release = OFF The speed can be continuously adjusted, relative to the pressure applied to the on/off switch. Set the rotational direction switch [1-7] to the centre position to lock the on/off switch. The LED light [1-4] lights up when the on/off switch [1-5] is pressed, see section 8.4. 8 Settings CAUTION Risk of injury ► Only adjust the settings when the power tool is switched off.

8.1 Changing direction of rotation [1-7]

The gear switch [1-6] can be used to switch the gear unit when the power tool is switched off.

8.3 Adjusting the torque [1-9]

Screwdriving ► Adjust the torque on the thumbwheel [1-9]. ► Carry out a test of the torque in a piece of the same material. ► Always check the working result. Position 1 = low torque Position 13 = high torque If the temperature of the power tool is un der 0 °C, the torque shut-off values may deviate. Leave the power tool idling (thumbwheel on drill symbol ) until it has warmed up. A signal sounds when the set torque is reached and the power tool switches off. The power tool only starts up again if the on/off switch [1-5] is released and pressed again. Drilling Marking shows the drill symbol = maxi mum torque.

8.4 Adjust lighting [1-9]

Configure lighting at the thumbwheel [1-9]. Marking shows position 1 to 13 or drill sym bol . The LED light [1-4] automatically switches on and off with the power tool.
