2 Safety information for Li-ion
battery packs
Warning! Read and observe all
information and safety instruc-
tions.
Failure to observe the
safety guidelines and instructions may
lead to electric shocks, fires and/or seri-
ous injuries.
Keep all safety information and other in-
structions in a safe place for future ref-
erence.
Cells in lithium-ion battery packs are
sealed so as to be gas-tight and are non-
hazardous provided they are used and
handled in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
–
Handle discharged batteries with
care. Battery packs represent a safe-
ty hazard as they can cause a very
high short circuit current.
Even if Li-
ion battery packs appear to be dis-
charged, they are in fact never fully
discharged.
–
Make sure that the battery pack is not
subjected to physical blows or im-
pacts. Impacts and penetrating ob-
jects may damage the batteries.
This
may lead to leakages, the generation
of heat or smoke, or cause the battery

pack to ignite or explode.
–
Keep the unused battery pack away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other small metal objects
which could bridge the contacts.
A
short circuit between the battery con-
tacts poses a risk of burns or fire
–
Protect the battery pack from exces-
sive heat or constant heat sources
such as sunlight or naked flames.
Fire and temperatures over 130 °C
may cause explosions.
–
Do not open the battery pack. Open-
ing or modifying the battery pack may
damage the protective devices.
This
may lead to the generation of heat or
smoke, or cause the battery pack to
ignite or explode.
–
Do not immerse the battery pack in
liquids such as (salt) water or drinks.
Contact with liquids may damage the
battery pack.
This may lead to the
generation of heat or smoke, or cause
the battery pack to ignite or explode.
Do not continue using the battery
pack. Consult an authorised Festool
customer service agent.
–
Only charge the battery packs in
chargers recommended by the man-
ufacturer (see image).
There is a risk
of fire when using a charger which is
meant for a specific type of battery
pack with a different battery pack.
–
Never use water to extinguish burn-
ing Li-ion battery packs; always use
25
Instructions for Li-ion battery packs GB
sand
or a fire blanket.
–
There is a risk of vapours being re-
leased if the battery pack is damaged
or not used correctly.
The vapours
could irritate your airways. Seek fresh
air and consult a doctor if you feel un-
well.
–
Only use the battery pack in conjunc-
tion with your Festool power tool.
This is the only way to ensure that the
battery pack is protected against a
dangerous overload. Using a different
tool poses a fire hazard and may cause
personal injury.
–
Fluid may leak out of the battery pack
if it is used incorrectly. Avoid contact
with the fluid. Rinse with water any
areas which accidentally come into
contact with the fluid. If fluid gets into
the eyes, also consult a doctor.
Leak-
ing battery fluid can cause skin irrita-
tion or burns.
–
Fluid may leak out of a faulty battery
pack and contaminate neighbouring
objects.
Check the parts affected.
Clean them by soaking up the fluid us-
ing dry kitchen towel and then rinsing
with plenty of water. Wear protective
gloves to avoid contact with the fluid.
Replace the parts if necessary.
–
Do not use damaged or modified bat-
tery packs.
Battery packs which are
damaged or which have been modified
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
which could lead to fire, explosion or
GB Instructions for Li-ion battery packs
26
injury.
–
Do not open, compress, overheat
(above 80 °C) or burn the battery
pack.
Failure to observe these precau-
tions is a fire hazard and may result in
burns. Observe the manufacturer's in-
structions.
–
Do not use damaged battery packs.
Stop using a battery pack immediate-
ly if you notice anything unusual such
as odour formation, the generation of
heat, discolouration or deformation.
If you continue to use the battery pack,
it may get hot, emit smoke, ignite or
explode.

CAUTION
Risk of injury from the mobile dust ex-
tractor starting up unexpectedly
Before performing any work with the
mobile dust extractor, check which
battery pack is connected to the mobi-
le dust extractor.
GB Instructions for Li-ion battery packs

charge it completely in the charger
before using it for the first time.
The battery pack can be charged at any
time without reducing the battery life. In-
terrupting the charging process does not
damage the battery pack.
After the power tool has
switched off automatically, do
not press the on/off button.
This could damage the battery
pack.
The battery pack is fitted with a
temperature sensor, which only permits
charging at temperatures of between 0 °C
and 50 °C. This ensures a longer battery
life.
– The battery pack should ideally be
stored in a cool (5 °C to 25 °C) and dry
location (air humidity < 80%).
– Do not, for instance, leave the battery
pack in the car in the summer.
– Significantly shorter operating times
after each charge indicate that the
battery pack is worn and should be re-
placed with a new one.
– Observe the information regarding
disposal.

The battery pack uses Bluetooth to
automatically switch correspond-
ingly equipped mobile dust ex-
tractors when used with a cordless
power tool.
Connecting the battery pack to the mo-
bile dust extractor
The mobile dust extractor can only
be connected to one cordless power
tool at any time.
If a mobile dust extractor which was
initially switched on using the bat-
tery pack is switched off using the
remote control, the temporary con-
nection between the connected bat-
tery pack and the mobile dust ex-
tractor will be lost. The battery pack
can then be connected again.
Activate the mobile dust extractor's au-
tomatic mode (see the operating in-
structions for the mobile dust ex-
tractor).

Instructions for Li-ion battery packs GB
Should you have used the cordless pow-
er tool already, ensure that the battery
pack's capacity indicator has gone out
so that you can connect it (in certain
cases this can take a few seconds).
Press the connection button on the mo-
bile dust extractor or on the remote
control once. <PosNumber/>
The LED on the retrofit receiver
module slowly flashes blue and the
mobile dust extractor is ready for
connection for 60 seconds.
Switch on the cordless power tool.
The mobile dust extractor starts up
and the battery pack is connected
until the mobile dust extractor is
manually switched off.
If a second battery pack is connected
to the mobile dust extractor, the con-
nection to the first battery pack is
lost.
Switching the mobile dust extractor on
and off
Once you have connected the battery pack
with the mobile dust extractor, the mobile
dust extractor will start up automatically
when the cordless power tool is in use.
After the mobile dust extractor has
been switched off via the battery
pack, it will continue to run for up to
fifteen seconds.
Press the on/off switch of the cordless
power tool to switch on the mobile dust
extractor.

Release the on/off switch of the cord-
less power tool to turn off the mobile
dust extractor.
Disconnecting the battery pack from the
mobile dust extractor
To disconnect the battery pack from the
mobile dust extractor, take one of the fol-
lowing steps:
– Disconnect the mobile dust extractor
– Put the battery pack on the charger
– Connect another battery pack to the
mobile dust extractor
Connecting a mobile terminal
The battery pack can be used in connec-
tion with a mobile terminal (e.g. for a soft-
ware update with the Festool app).
Press the capacity indicator button

until the Bluetooth indicator
[1-3]
flashes blue.
The battery pack is ready for con-
nection for 60 seconds.
Follow the instructions provided in the
Festool app.
7 Service and maintenance
Keep the connecting contacts on the
battery pack clean.
Do not cover the vents
[1-4]
on the bat-
tery pack as this could impair its func-
tion.
