7.1 Electronics
The machine features electronics with the fol­
lowing properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [2-5]. As a result, you can adapt the cut­
ting speed in a way that best suits the relevant
material (see table).
Recommended position of the adjusting wheel
Wood
Plastic
Fibrous material
Aluminium and non-ferrous profiles
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re­
moved.
Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature
level, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at
reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor rapidly. The power tool resumes to
full performance automatically once the motor
has cooled sufficiently.
7.2 Connecting the mobile dust extractor
WARNING
Dust hazard
► Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
► Always read applicable national regula­
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
Festool mobile dust extractor

tor hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
