limit any warranty claims. Machine wear or your
own personal workload may increase depending on
the application. Protect yourself and your machine,
and preserve your warranty claims by always using
original Festool accessories and Festool consum-
able material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festool.com".
11 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and pack-
aging at an environmentally-responsible recycling
centre. Observe the valid national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
12 Warranty
For our tools, we give warranty for material and
production defects in accordance with the locally
applicable legal provisions, but in any case for at
least 12 months. Within the EU member states,
the warranty period is 24 months (verification
through invoice or delivery note). Damage caused
by, in particular, natural wear, overloading, incor-
rect handling, or damage caused by the operator,
or damage caused through use of the equipment
contrary that specifi ed in the operating manual, or
damage which was known at the time of purchase,
is not covered by the warranty. Furthermore, dam-
age caused by the use of non-original accessories
and consumable materials (e.g. sanding pads) is
also excluded.
Complaints can only be recognised if the tool is
returned while still assembled to the supplier or
an authorised Festool Customer Service workshop.
Keep the operating manual, safety instructions,
spare parts list and purchase receipt in a safe
place. Otherwise the respective, current warranty
conditions of the manufacturer shall apply.
