Festool MX 1200 E EF, Instruction Manual

e)  

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an 
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. 

Use of a 

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 
electric shock.

f)  

If operating a power tool in a damp location is 
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) 
protected supply. 

Use of an RCD reduces the risk 

of electric shock.

3)  Personal safety

a)  

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 
common sense when operating a power tool. Do 
not use a power tool while you are tired or under 
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating power 
tools may result in serious personal injury.

b)  

Use personal protective equipment. Always 
wear eye protection. 

Protective equipment such 

as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat 
or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.

c) 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the off-position before connecting to 
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or 
carrying the tool. 

Carrying power tools with your 

fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that 
have the switch on invites accidents.

d) 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 
turning the power tool on. 

A wrench or a key left 

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may 
result in personal injury.

e)  

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. 

This enables better control of 

the power tool in unexpected situations..

f)  

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away 
from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) 

If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these 
are connected and properly used.

 Use of dust 

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. 

A careless action can 

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4)  Power tool use and care

a)

 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-

er tool for your application. 

The correct power 

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for 
which it was designed.

b) 

 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not 

turn it on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot be 

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must 
be repaired.

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 accessories, or storing power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk 
of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)  

Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with 
the power tool or these instructions to operate 
the power tool. 

Power tools are dangerous in the 

hands of untrained users.

e)  

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.

 Properly 

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 instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the 
work to be performed. 

Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.

h) 

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 

and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles 

and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.

5)  Service

a)  

Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed 
repair person using only identical replacement 
parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained

.
