an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become

screws (3.2) and remove the retaining strip (3.3).
7 Accessories, tools
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material designed for this machine
because these system components are designed
specifi cally for the machine. Using accessories
and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your working
results and 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 consumable material!

can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under “www.festool.com”.
