Metalworking

Observe the following safety
precautions when working on metals:
Pre-connect a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI, PRCD).
Connect the tool to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
Regularly clear out any dust accumula-
tions in the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
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.
- Place one systainer on top of the other.
- Release all four latches on the lower sys-
tainer by pulling back at their top edges
(9.1).
- Slide all four latches upward (9.2).
- Snap all four latches back to their at po-
sition (9.3) so they engage the stacking
tabs of the upper systainer.

Maintenance and care

All maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened
must be carried out only by an authorized
service workshop. Maintenance or repair
work carried out by an unauthorized per-
son can lead to the incorrect connection
of the wiring or other components, which
in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
Always remove the plug from
the mains supply socket before carrying out
any work on the machine!
