CAUTION
The noise emissions during actual use
of the power tool can differ from the
declared values depending on the ways
in which the tool is used especially what
kind of workpiece is processed.
Identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operat-
ing cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle
in addition to the trigger time).

Intended use
The PF 1200 E is used to route grooves into
composite plates made from aluminium, plastic
(Alucubond®, Dibond®).
Only use power tools with attached dust extractor.
Only insert milling tools with the correct dimen-
sions.
Do not use abrasive discs.
Only a Festool routing tool in accordance with EN
847-1 may be used.
Only rout materials for which the router has been
designed.
This power tool may only be used by experts or
instructed persons.
The user is liable for damage and ac-
cidents caused by improper and non-
intended use.

Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specification on the rating plate.
Switch (4.2) serves as an On/Off switch (press =
ON, release = OFF). The switch can only be acti-
vated after the switch lock (4.1) has been pushed
up.
Activating the switch lock simultaneously locks
the plunging equipment and the milling unit can
be moved down against the spring force. This
causes the milling tool to emerge from the pro-
tective cover.
Only guide the tool against the workpiece
when it is switched on.
When the tool is lifted, the milling unit springs
back into the starting position.

Tool settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the tool.
5.1
Sensor
The sensor remains on the workpiece while it is
being routed. Its function is to determine the cut-
ting depth. Festool offers sensors for all the usual
plate thicknesses.
Changing the sensor
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the left.
– Open the flap (1.2).
– Unscrew the four screws (1.4).
– Replace the jockey roller (1.5).
– Tighten the four screws (1.4).
– Close the flap (1.2).
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
5.2
Depth stop (4.5)
When the sensor is on the workpiece, i.e. in
working position, there must be a gap of 0.3 mm
between the depth stop (4.5) and the stop plate
(4.4). This limits the cutting depth, and prevents
the tool from tilting to the side while work is in
progress. This would happen if one side of the tool
moved away from the guide rail.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the three screws on
the rotating depth stop. The screws have been
set for plate thickness of 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm
in the factory.
5.3
Changing tools
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the left.
– Open the flap (1.2).
– Press the spindle stop (2.1) and turn the tool
(2.4) until the spindle stop latches into place;
keep the spindle stop pressed in.
– Open the screw (2.2).
– Remove the tool (2.5) and sensor (2.4).
– Clean the contact surface between the tool
flange, the tool, and the sensor; insert the new
tool with the sensor.
–
The direction of rotation on the tool must
be the same as the direction of rotation of
the tool (2.3).
– Tighten the screw (2.2) and let go of the spindle
stop
– Close the flap (1.2).
