• Always use original Festool spare parts.
• Repairs and sanding work may only be carried out by experts.
• The tool design must not be changed.
• For repairs and sanding work, see the additional instructions at www.festool.com.
• Deresinify and clean the tool regularly (cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
• Blunt edges can be resharpened on the clamping surface to a minimum cutting edge thickness of 1 mm.
• Only transport the tool in suitable packaging – risk of injury!

2.4 Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level L _PA = 82 dB(A)

Sound power level L _WA = 90 dB(A)

Uncertainty K = 3.0 dB

CAUTION

Noise emissions created while working with the power tool may damage your hearing.

▶ Always use ear protection.

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

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

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

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.

• Assess the actual load during the entire operating cycle.
  ▶ Determine suitable safety measures depending on the actual load.

7.1 Electronics

Speed control

You can use the adjusting wheel [1-5] to continuously adjust the speed within the speed range (see Section Technical data). This enables you to optimise the speed to suit the respective material. Please also note the specifications on the tools.

Scorch or melt marks on the material can be prevented through reducing the speed.

English

Temperature cut-out

The power tool switches off if it becomes too hot. It can only be switched on again once the power tool has cooled sufficiently.

Restart protection

The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected during continuous use. To put the power tool back into operation, it must first be switched off and then on again.

7.2 Festool app\*

The power tool can be configured with the Festool app. To do this, the battery pack used must be a Bluetooth® battery pack.
