Switching The Machine On And Off; Control Electronics - Festool MX 1000 E EF Manual De Instrucciones Original

6 Starting up and using the 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
specifi cations on the machine's name plate.
 In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifi cations 120 V/60 Hz may
be used.
WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
 Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
CAUTION
Inhaling the dust may damage the respiratory
tract.
 When working with dust, you must wear res-
piratory protection.
6.1 Tightening the stirrer (see Fig. [2])
 Screw in the stirrer [2-3] with endpiece M14x2
(wrench size 22) by turning it to the right in the
adapter ErgoFix [2-1] (wrench size 19) and use
the wrench to tighten it.
 Fasten the ErgoFix adapter to the stirrer bar,
then insert the assembled stirrer into the slot
of the spindle.
To set-up the working height see chapter 6.5.
6.2

Switching the machine on and off

Always hold the machine with both hands.
Pressing the switch [1-3] puts the machine into
operation and taking your hand away from the
switch stops the machine from working.
Using the switch button to control the speed (ac-
celeration function switch)
You can use the switch [1-3] to change the level
of the speed until it reaches the speed range that
is set by the speed controller.
Continuous operation
By pressing the switch [1-3] as far as it goes and
pressing the locking switch button [1-4] at the
same time, you can activate continuous operation.
Press and release the switch button [1-3] again
to switch off continuous operation.
6.3

Control electronics

Limiting the starting current
The electronically-controlled soft start ensures
that the machine starts up smoothly.
At the same time, this also prevents the materi-
als to be stirred from spurting out of the mixing
container. Thanks to the low starting current of
the machine, a 10 A fuse is suffi cient.
Electronic speed preselection
You can use the speed controller [1-5] to set the
speed:
MX 1000 E EF, MX 1200 E EF
Level 1 360 Level 4
Level 2 410 Level 5
Level 3 470 Level 6
MX 1000/2 E EF
1st speed
Level 1 360 Level 1
Level 2 410 Level 2
Level 3 470 Level 3
Level 4 520 Level 4
Level 5 580 Level 5
Level 6 630 Level 6
The speed depends on the stirrer rod that is used
and on the material that you want to process.
Overload protection
An electronic overload protection protects the mo-
tor from damage if there is an extreme overload.
In this case, the motor remains at a standstill and
only starts up again once the load has been re-
moved. To restart the machine, you must switch
it on again.
Constant Electronic function
The Constant Electronic function maintains an
almost constant speed and load; this ensures that
the material is stirred evenly.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
(VALID for the type MX 1000/2 E EF and
MX 1200 E EF)
To protect the machine against overheating if you
are using it for an extremely prolonged period,
switch the safety electronics to the cooling mode
as soon as the critical temperature is reached.
You cannot load the machine and it runs at a re-
duced speed. Approx. 2 minutes after cooling, the
machine is again ready for use and fully able to
