5Safetyinstructions
5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.2 Machine-related safety instruc-
tions
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
–
The charger and power tool are not in-
tended for use by persons (including
children) with limited physical, senso-
ry or mental ability or without suffi-
cient experience and/or knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a per-
son responsible for their safety or
have been instructed on how the
charger or power tool is to be
used.
Children should always be super-
vised to ensure that they do not play with
the charger or the power tools.
–
Switch of the power tool immediately
if the tool is blocked. Always be pre-
pared for high reaction torques that
can cause kickback.
The tool blocks if:
- the power tool is overloaded or
- it becomes jammed in the workpiece be-
ing processed.
–
Wait until the power tool stops com-
pletely until placing it down.
The tool
can become entangled and lead to a loss of
control of the power tool.
–
Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure
that the on/off switch is in switched-
off position before inserting a battery.
Carrying the power tool with your finger at
the on/off switch, or inserting the battery
when the power tool is switched on, can re-
sult in accidents.
– Take care when drilling into walls as there
is a danger of rupturing concealed gas/wa-
ter pipes or cutting through power cables.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charg-
er. Even after disconnection from the
mains, there is still a high capacitor voltage
inside the charger.
– Make sure that metal objects (such as met-
al chips) or fluids do not collect in the bat-
tery pack retaining slots or enter the

machine through the air vent slits (danger
of short circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from external
manufacturers. The charger is designed for
charging original battery packs only. Never
charge the battery packs in chargers from
external manufacturers. Otherwise there is
a danger of fire and explosion.
– Protect the battery pack from excessive
heat or constant heat sources such as sun-
light or naked flames. There is a risk of ex-
plosion.
– Never use water to extinguish burning Li-
Ion battery packs, always use sand or a
fire blanket.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN
60745 are typically:
Vibration emission value a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K mea-
sured in accordance with EN 60745:
The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be
higher when the tool is used. Take into ac-
count any machine idling times and down-
times to estimate these values more accu-
rately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the ma-
chine operating period.
6 Operation
6.1 Changing the battery pack [2]
L The battery packs in the BPC series are
also suitable for use with the cordless
drills T 12+3/T 15+3 of the same voltage.
6.2 Charging the battery pack [3]
L The battery pack is immediately ready for
operation upon delivery and can be
charged at any time independently of its
charge state without shortening the ser-
vice life.
The charger TRC 3 can be used to charge all
Festool battery packs of the BPS and BPC se-
ries. The charger automatically detects the
type of the inserted battery (NiCd, NiMH or
LiIon). A microprocessor controls the charg-
ing process in line with the charging state,
temperature and voltage of the battery pack.
The LED [3-1] on the charger indicates the
respective operating status of the charger.
LED yellow - lit continuously
Charger is ready to use.
LED green - flashing quickly
Battery pack is charged to maximum capac-
ity.
LED green - flashing slowly
Battery pack is charged with reduced cur-
rent, LiIon is charged to 80 %.
LED green - lit continuously
Battery pack is fully charged, or charging is
not started again, because the battery is
charged to more than 80 %.
LED red - flashing
General fault display, e.g. incomplete con-
tact, short circuit, battery pack faulty, etc.
LED red - lit continuously

– Machine is overheating.
X You must allow the machine to cool before
using again.
– LiIon battery pack is faulty or has over-
heated.
X Once the battery pack has cooled, per-
form a functional check using the charger.
10 Service and maintenance
Observe the following instructions:
– Keep the air slits on the machine and the
charger free and clean to ensure adequate
cooling.
– Keep the contacts on the machine, charger
and battery pack clean.
Information on battery packs
– Where possible, store the battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature between
5°Cand25°C.
– Battery packs are most efficient at temper-
atures between 20 °C and 30 °C.
– Protect the battery pack from moisture,
water and heat.
– Significantly shorter operating times after
each charge indicate that the battery pack
is worn and should be replaced with a new
one.
– The LiIon battery pack is fully compatible
with the charger! Integrated electronics
prevent overloading and overheating dur-
ing the charging process.
– Do not leave flat battery packs in a charger
disconnected from the mains power supply
for longer than one month. There is a risk
of total discharge and the maximum power
of the battery pack may decrease.
– Store the battery pack in its packaging to
reduce the risk of short circuits..
– If LiIon battery packs are to be stored for
long periods without use, they should be
charged to 40 % capacity (approx.
15 mins. charging period).
11 Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material intended for
this machine because these components are
designed specifically 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!
The order numbers of the accessories and
tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or
on the Internet under "www.festool.com".
12 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your house-
hold waste! Dispose of machines, accesso-
ries and packaging at an environmentally re-
sponsible recycling centre. Observe the valid
national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC
stipulates that used electric power tools must
be collected separately and disposed of at an
environmentally responsible recycling cen-
tre.
Return used or faulty battery packs to your
local specialist retailer, Festool after-sales
service or a designated public waste man-
agement facility. The battery packs will then
be recycled. (Observe the regulations appli-
cable in your country). The batteries must be
discharged on return.
EU only: European Directive 91/157/EEC
stipulates that faulty or used battery packs/
batteries must be recycled.
13 Transport
The equivalent amount of lithium in the LiIon
battery pack is less than the applicable limit
value and certified as per UN manual ST/SG/
AC.10/11/rev. 3 part III, subsection 38.3.
The LiIon battery pack is therefore not sub-
ject to national and international dangerous
goods regulations, neither as an individual
component nor as a fitted machine compo-
nent. However, dangerous goods regulations
may apply when several battery packs are
transported, in which case you may have to
fulfil special conditions. Refer to ADR special
regulation 230 for more information relevant
for the EU.
