no signs of damage.
- Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1.
All Festool routing tools fulfi l these require-
ments.
- The maximum rotational speed specifi ed on the
tool must not be exceeded and the rotational
speed range must be observed.
- 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 harmful,
combustible or explosive dust. Never process
material containing asbestos.
- Wait until the machine has stopped before set-
ting it down.
- Wear suitable protection such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gen-
erates 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
LPA = 78 dB(A)
Noise level
LWA = 89 dB(A)
Uncertainty
K = 3 dB
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
h
= 3,0 m/s
2
Uncertainty
K = 2,0 m/s²
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibra-
tion 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 for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suffi -
ciently prior to operation, 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 operated us-
ing 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 ma-
chine.
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 constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uniform
cutting speed even when under strain.
