Troubleshooting
Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine be-
cause these components are designed specifically
for the machine. Using accessories and consum-
able 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 consum-
able material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festoolusa.com".

Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique sys-
tem container, called "Systainer". This provides
protection and storage for the tool and accessories.

locked together. They also can be interlocked atop
Festool CT dust extractors.
