Festool 576451, Instructions Manual

c.

Disconnect the plug from the power 

source and/or remove the battery pack, if 

detachable, from the power tool before 

making any adjustments, changing acces­

sories, or storing power tools. 

Such pre­

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

d.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of 

children and do not allow persons unfami­

liar with the power tool or these instruc­

tions to operate the power tool. 

Power 

tools are dangerous in the hands of un­

trained users.

e.

Maintain power tools and accessories. 

Check for misalignment or binding of mov­

ing parts, breakage of parts and any other 

condition that may affect the power tool’s 

operation. If damaged, have the power 

tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power 

tools.

f.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Prop­

erly maintained cutting tools with sharp 

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 

easier to control.

g.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool 

bits etc. in accordance with these instruc­

tions, taking into account the working con­

ditions and the work to be performed. 

Use 

of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a haz­

ardous situation.

h.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 

clean and free from oil and grease. 

Slip­

pery handles and grasping surfaces do not 

allow for safe handling and control of the 

tool in unexpected situations.

5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a.

Recharge only with the charger specified 

by the manufacturer.

 A charger that is 

suitable for one type of battery pack may 

create a risk of fire when used with another 

battery pack.

b.

Use power tools only with specifically des­

ignated battery packs.

 Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury 

and fire.

c.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it 

away from other metal objects, like paper 

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other 

small metal objects, that can make a con­

nection from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals together 

may cause burns or a fire.

d.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If 

contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa­

ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally 

seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is 

damaged or modified. 

Damaged or modi­

fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be­

haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of 

injury.

f.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire 

or excessive temperature. 

Exposure to fire 

or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may 

cause explosion.

g.

Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the in­

structions. 

Charging improperly or at tem­

peratures outside the specified range may 

damage the battery and increase the risk of 

fire.

6 SERVICE

a.

Have your power tool serviced by a quali­

fied repair person using only identical re­

placement parts. 

This will ensure that the 

safety of the power tool is maintained.

b.

Never service damaged battery packs. 

Service of battery packs should only be 

performed by the manufacturer or author­

ized service providers.

c.

Only use original Festool parts for repair 

and maintenance. 

The use of incompatible 

accessories or spare parts can result in 

electric shocks or other injuries.

Follow the operating manual for the charger 

and the battery pack.
3.2

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.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

–

a) 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.
