Power supply and start-up

The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
lead!
See Fig. 2 for connection and disconnection of
the power cable.
To switch on, push the switch (1.1) forwards
until it engages. Pressing the back end of the
switch is suffi cient to release the switch-on lock
and switch the machine off.

Machine settings

Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
8.1 Changing tools
Required tools: fork wrench a/f 8 (supplied).
Always wear protective gloves during tool
change due to the risk of injury from the sharp
tool cutters.
a) Removing the tool
- Lift the unlocking lever (4.2) until it audibly
engages with the fork wrench (4.1).
- Separate the motor unit (4.5) and the guide
frame (4.4).
- Press and hold in the spindle lock (5.1).
- Release and unscrew the jointer bit (5.2) with
the fork wrench.
- Release the spindle lock.
b) Inserting the tool
- Before inserting a new jointer bit, ensure that
the machine, the guide frame and the guides
(4.3) are clean. Remove any contamination
that may be present. Only use sharp, unda-
maged and clean tools.
- Press and hold in the spindle lock (5.1).
- Use the fork wrench to screw on the jointer
bit (5.2).
- Release the spindle lock.
- Slide the guide frame onto the motor unit until
it audibly engages.
8.2

Adjusting the milling depth

- Open the notch lever lock (1.8) by pressing
it.
- Use the locking lever (1.7) to set the desired
jointing depth (12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25
mm, 28 mm). For the jointer bit with a diame-
ter of 5 mm, only jointing depths of 12 mm,
15 mm and 20 mm are permitted due to its
short shank length.
- Release the notch lever lock again.
Ensure that the jointing depth is at
least 3 mm smaller than the workpiece
thickness. Otherwise the jointer bit can
emerge from the workpiece at the rear
side, which involves an increased risk
of injury.

8.3 Setting jointing height
a) with selection slide
- Release the clamping lever (6.1) for jointing
height adjustment.
- Using the additional handle (6.2), raise the
front section of the guide frame.
- Use the slide (6.6) to set the desired board
thickness (16 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm,
28 mm, 36 mm, 40 mm).
- Press the front section of the guide frame
downwards as far as the stop.
- Close the clamping lever (6.1).
b) freely selectable
- Release the clamping lever (6.1) for jointing
height adjustment.
- Using the additional handle (6.2), raise the
front section of the guide frame.
- Push the slide (6.6) to the stop in direction
motor unit.
- Set the desired jointing height using the scale
(6.3) by moving the front section of the guide
frame vertically.
- Close the clamping lever (6.1).
8.4 Setting angle guide
- Release the clamping lever for the angle guide
(6.4).
- Set the desired angle: using the scale (6.5)
steplessly from 0° - 90°, or in notches at 0°,
22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°.
- Close the clamping lever (6.4).
8.5

Setting dowel-hole width

Reliable setting of the dowel-hole width
with the rotary switch (1.2) is only pos-
sible with the machine running!
The following dowel-hole settings are possible
(image 7):
13 mm + jointer bit diameter
19 mm + jointer bit diameter
23 mm + jointer bit diameter
8.6 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor. You can connect a Festool ex-
tractor with an extractor hose diameter
of 27 mm to the extractor connector
(2.2).
8.7 Support
The support (8.1) can be used to enlarge the
contact area during jointing at the workpiece
edge, thus allowing safer guidance of the ma-
chine.
Secure the support with both screws (8.2) to
the threaded bores (8.3) of the guide frame,
whereby the contact areas of the support ring
(8.5) and the table (8.4) must be on the same
plane.
