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 machine's name
plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
must 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.
Connecting and disconnecting the mains power
cable [1-4] see fig. [2].
The switch [1-3] serves as an on/off switch (I =
ON, 0 = OFF).
The on switch can only be actuated if
the selector switch [1-2] is locked in
place.
In case of a power failure or if the
mains connector is removed, move
the on/off switch immediately to the
Off position. This prevents uncontrol­
led restarting.

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing any work on the
machine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave phase control
electronics with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
You can regulate the speed steplessly with the
adjusting wheel [1-6] in the speed range (see ).
This enables you to optimise the cutting speed
to suit the surface (see table).
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is maintained on
a constant level. Electronic controls ensure a
steady cutting speed even when operating un­
der different loads.
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the
speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain
temperature. The machine continues operating
at reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor quickly. If the machine temperature
exceeds the maximum permitted value for lon­
ger periods, the machine switches off com­
pletely after approx. 40 seconds and can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
7.2 Setting sanding motion [3]
The change-over switch [1-2] can be used to
set three different sanding motions.
This change-over can only be carried
out with the sanding pad stationary
because the switch is locked during
operation.
Coarse sanding, polishing - ROTEX rotary mo­
tion
The Rotex rotary motion is a combi­
nation of rotary and eccentric mo­
tions. This position is selected for
sanding with high output (coarse
sanding) and polishing.
