the rotational speed range must be ob-
served.
- Do not use cracked or deformed router bits.
- Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable
shank diameter in the clamping collet.
- Only guide the electric power tool along
the workpiece when switched on.
- Keep your hands away from the routing
area and the router bit. Hold the additional
hand grip or the motor housing with your
other hand.
- Never rout through metal objects, nails or
screws.
- Secure the workpiece.
- Take appropriate protective measures when
performing work that may generate harm-
ful, combustible or explosive dust. Never
process material containing asbestos.
- Wait until the machine has stopped before
setting it down.
- Wear suitable protection such as ear pro-
tection, safety goggles, a dust mask for
work which generates dust, and protective
gloves when working with raw materials
and when changing tools.
5.3 Emission levels
Noise levels are measured in accordance with
EN 60745:
Sound pressure level
Noise level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
The noise produced during work can
damage your hearing.
• Always use ear protection!
Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three
directions) measured in accordance with EN
60745:
Vibration emission level (3-axis) a
Uncertainty
The emission values specifi ed (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
estimates regarding vibration and noise
loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the
main applications for which the power tool
is used. If the electric power tool is used
LPA = 78 dB(A)
LWA = 89 dB(A)
K = 3 dB
= 3,0 m/s

K = 2,0 m/s²

for other applications, with other tools or is
not maintained suffi ciently prior to opera-
tion, however, the vibration and noise load
may be higher when the tool is used. Take
into account any machine idling times and
downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This
may signifi cantly reduce the load during
the machine operating period.

Commissioning
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is op-
erated using unauthorised voltages or
frequencies.
- The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the
specifi cations on the machine's name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines
with voltage specifi cations of 120 V may
be used.
The switch [2-2] is an on/off switch (I =
ON, 0 = OFF). Connecting and detaching the
mains power cable, see Fig. [3].

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
• Always pull the plug out of the socket
before performing any type of work on
the machine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics
with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the machine starts up
smoothly.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed
steplessly between 10000 and 26000 rpm
using the adjusting wheel [2-1]. This enables
you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
respective material.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains con-
stant through electronic control. This en-
