The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary es-
timates regarding vibration and noise loads 
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. 
Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!

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 speci-
fi cations on the machine’s name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
a voltage specifi cation of 120 V/60 Hz may be 
used.
The tool is fi tted with an on/off switch [1-1] with 
switch-on lock [1-2]. Press the switch-on lock 
to release the switch. Pressing and holding the 
switch-on lock briefl y after the machine starts 
locks the switch while the motor is running. The 
motor switches off when you press the on/off 
switch again.

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket be-
fore performing any type of work on the ma-
chine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics with 
the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly 
between 800 and 4000 rpm using the adjusting 
wheel [1-4].
The following table serves as a guideline to help 
you select the best electronics setting for the 
working material. The transition between each 
speed setting is smooth.

Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains constant 
through electronic control. This ensures a uniform 
cutting speed even when under load.
Overload safety device
In extreme applications, the current consump-
tion may far exceed the permitted nominal value. 
A "safety coupling" integrated in an electronic 
overload safety device switches off the motor and 
prevents it from burning out. Motor operation 
resumes immediately after the load is relieved.
Temperature cut-out
To protect against overheating (burning out of mo-
tor), an electronic temperature monitoring system 
has been installed. Prior to reaching a critical mo-
tor temperature, the safety electronics switches 
off the motor. After a cooling time of approx. 3-5 
minutes, the machine can be operated again at
