Tool-specific safety instructions for cordless impact screwdriver

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Autting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detection devices to look for any hidden supply lines or consult your local utility company. If the insertion tool makes contact with live cables, it can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can result in damage to property.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment: Ear protection and safety goggles.
Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Make sure the speed is adjusted correctly when screw driving. Be prepared for high reaction torque, which can arise when working with the power tool.
Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may cause a short circuit and burning.
Wait until the power tool has come to a complete halt before placing it down. The insertion tool can get caught and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
Avoid unintentional activation. Carrying the electric power tool with your fingers on the on/off switch can lead to accidents. If you are not using the power tool, set the rotational direction switch/safety lock [1-8] to the centre position to lock the on/off switch.
Do not use power supply units or third party battery packs to operate cordless power tools. Do not use third-party chargers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.
Only use tools and accessories which have been approved by Festool for this power tool. The use of tools or accessories which have not been approved may increase the risk of injury and seriously unbalance the machine. This may decrease the quality of the working results and accelerate wear on the power tool.

Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level : LPA = 97 dB(A)
Sound power level : LWA = 108 dB(A)
Uncertainty : K = 3 dB

CAUTION

Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing

Use ear protection.

Vibration emission level ah (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)

are used to compare machines.
They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.
They represent the primary applications of the power tool.

CAUTION

The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of work piece being machined.

The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated.
Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.

Intended use

This cordless impact screwdriver is intended for driving in and tightening screws up to the specified maximum dimensions in metal, wood, plastics and similar materials. Self-tapping drill screws are intended for use in metal.

It must be noted that speed is directly connected to torque. This means: The lower the speed, the lower the torque. This power tool is intended for use with BP Festool battery packs of the same voltage class.

Warning : The user is liable for damage and accidents caused by improper and non-intended use; this also includes damage and wear caused by continuous industrial operation.
