instructions
5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings 
and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re 
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future 
reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers 
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or 
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Never allow children to use the machine.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- This power tool is intended to function as a
wire brush. Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifi cations provided 
with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric 
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
- Operations such as grinding, sanding, polish-
ing or cutting-off are not recommended to be 
performed with this power tool. Operations 
for which the power tool was not designed may 
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
- Do not use accessories which are not specifi -
cally designed and recommended by Festool. 
Just because the accessory can be attached to 
your power tool, it does not assure safe opera-
tion.
- The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on 
the power tool. Accessories running faster than 
their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
- The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of 
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories 
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
- The arbour size of wheels, fl anges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fi t 
the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with 
arbour holes that do not match the mounting 
hardware of the power tool will run out of bal-
ance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss 
of control.
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive 
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for 
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for 
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install 
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and 
installing an accessory, position yourself and 
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating 
accessory and run the power tool at maximum 
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged ac-
cessories will normally break apart during this 
test time.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety gog-
