Operation

WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency.
Risk of accidents
► The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond to the
specifications on the name plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
may be used.
CAUTION
Heating of the Plug it connection if bayonet
fitting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
► Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fitting at the mains
cable is closed fully and locked.

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 power tool starts up
smoothly.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uni­
form cutting speed even when under load.
Speed reduction in the event of high vibrations
If high vibrations and oscillations occur at the
power tool, e.g. with the use of an interface pad,
the speed is automatically reduced in order to
protect the power tool and the user.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con­
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem­
perature. If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off. and can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
7.2 Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set [1-2] between 6000 and
10000 min using the adjusting wheel.
-1
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed
to suit the material (see chapter
7.3 Extractor signal *
The electronic extractor signal detects whether
an extractor hose is connected at the power
tool. Upon activation, the power tool can only be
switched on with a connected extractor hose.
