Service and maintenance

WARNING

Any maintenance or repair work that requires opening of the motor or gear housing should only be carried out by an authorised Customer Service Centre (name supplied by your dealer)!

XMaintenance or repair work carried out by an unauthorised person can lead to the wrong connection of the power leads or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.

WARNING

To prevent accidents, always remove the plug from the power supply socket before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the tool!

XDo not use compressed air to clean the electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts in- side the tool in this way, as you could let foreign objects in through the openings of the tool housing.

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and free of blockages.

The machine is equipped with special carbon brushes. If they are worn, the power is inter-

rupted automatically and the machine comes to a standstill.

Sanding pad brake

The rubber collar [10-1]on the sanding pad and the stop ring [10-2]on the machine prevent uncontrolled excessive turning of the sanding pad during eccentric motion (fine sanding). As these parts are subject to wear in the course of time, they must be replaced when reduced braking force is observed (for order no., see spare parts list).

Accessories

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!

Only use original sanding and polishing pads from Festool. Low-quality sanding and pol-

ishing pads may cause serious machine im- balance that decreases the quality of the working results and increases machine wear.

The order numbers of the accessories and tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under "www.festoolusa.com".

Systainer

Many Festool products are shipped in a unique system container, called "Systainer". This provides protection and storage for the tool and accessories. The Systainers are stackable and can be interlocked together. They also can be interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
