The equipment is generally maintenance-free.
To ensure trouble-free operation we recommend
that the following instructions be adhered to:
Keep the air vents clean to guarantee the air
circulation for cooling.
Keep the connection contacts clean.
Festool chargers and Festool battery packs are
designed for each other. Therefore, only use
Festool chargers to charge Festool battery
packs.
By keeping the battery pack in a ready for use
charger, the battery pack will be kept in a state of
readiness by float charging conservation.
Do not keep discharged battery pack (maximum
one month) attached to charger whenever charger
is detached from the power supply (danger of
deep discharging).
Whenever two battery packs are inserted into the
quick charger they will be charged in the order of
insertion.
A new battery pack or a battery pack not used for
a longer period of time reaches it full capacity after
about 5 charging and discharging cycles.
Battery packs should, before charging, be fully
discharged if possible. Continuous starting of the
charging process shortens the lifespan of the
batteries.
Do not expose battery packs to direct rays of the
sun or high temperatures - Temperatures over
45°C will shorten the life of the battery.
All maintenance and repair work, requiring
dismantling of equipment, may only be performed
by an authorised after-sales service workshop.
5 Recycling battery packs
Never throw spent battery packs into domestic
waste containers!
Return spent or defective battery packs to dealers,
the Festool after-sales service department or
approved waste disposal facilities.
This ensures that they are correctly recycled.
