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.
Always switch the machine off before con-
necting or disconnecting the mains power
cable!
The network voltage must conform to the voltage
indicated on the rating plate. A 16 A safety fuse (for
120 V) or a corresponding protective circuit-breaker
is required.
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [2].

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi-
cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
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!
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.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
10000 and 26000 rpm using the adjusting wheel [1-

voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord
diameter as a function of the cord length for this
tool.
Total Extension Cord
Lenght (feet)
Cable size (AWG)
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one long one.
 The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
housing and one on the gear head or additional
handle [1-6].
The switch [1-9] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).

8]. This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to
suit the material.
Constant speed
The motor speed remains constant through elec-
tronic control to ensure a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature. Let the machine cool down for
approx. 3–5 minutes before using it again. The ma-
