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.
