Machine-related safety instructions

–

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

because the cutter may contact its own cord.

Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal

parts of the power tool "live" and could give the

operator an electric shock.

–

The tools must be rated for at least the speed

marked on the power tool.

 Tools running over

rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

–

Use the machine only with the guide frame

mounted. 

The guide frame protects the user

against broken-off parts of the jointer bit and ac-

cidental contact with the jointer bit.

–

Only cutters provided by Festool for this pur-

pose may be mounted on the power tool.

 The

use of other cutters is prohibited due to the in-

creased risk of injury.

–

Never use dull or damaged mortising bits.

 Dull

or damaged mortising bits can cause the tool to

lurch sideways unexpectedly and lead to a loss of

control of the power tool.

–

Do not resharpen cutters more than twice.

 Re-

sharpened cutters may affect the precision of the

cutting results.

–

Do not operate the tool if the spring-loaded

fence does not return to its forward rest posi-

tion.

 The fence covers the mortising bit and pre-

vents accidental contact. If the slides of the fence

do not move freely, have the tool serviced imme-

diately.

Emission levels

Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are

typically:

Vibration emission value a

h

 (vector sum for three

directions) and uncertainty K measured in accor-

dance with EN 60745:

The specified emissions values (vibration, noise) 

– are used to compare machines.

– They are also used for making preliminary esti-

mates regarding vibration and noise loads during

operation.

– They represent the primary applications of the

power tool.

Increase possible for other applications, with other

insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take

note of idling and downtimes of machine!

6 Operation

necting or disconnecting the mains power

cable!

Electronics

The machine features full-wave electronics with

the following features:

Smooth start-up

The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-

sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.

Constant speed

The motor speed remains constant through electron-

ic control to ensure a uniform cutting speed even

WARNING

Unauthorised voltage or frequency!

Risk of accident



The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-

er source must correspond with the specifica-

tions on the machine's name plate.



In North America, only Festool machines with

the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be

used.

WARNING

Risk of injury, electric shock



Always pull the mains plug out of the socket be-

fore performing any type of work on the ma-

chine!
