Dust Extraction - Festool PF 1200 E Manual De Instrucciones

Only guide the machine against the work-
piece when it is switched on.
When the machine is lifted, the milling unit
springs back into the starting position.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 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 fl ap (1.2).
- Unscrew the four screws (1.4).
- Replace the jockey roller (1.5).
- Tighten the four screws (1.4).
- Close the fl ap (1.2).
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
4.2 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 machine from tilting to the side while work is
in progress. This would happen if one side of the
machine 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.
4.3 Changing tools
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the
left.
- Open the fl ap (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
fl ange, 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 machine (2.3).
- Tighten the screw (2.2) and let go of the spindle
stop
- Close the fl ap (1.2).
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.

Dust extraction

You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 36 mm to the extractor
connector (4.8).
5 Electronics
The PF 1200 E features full-wave elec-
tronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the router starts
up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5500 min
(4.3). This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in neutral posi-
tion.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature. Let the machine cool down
for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The
machine requires less time to cool down if it is
running, i.e. in neutral position.
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(5.1, 5.2).
Always push the machine forwards (5.3),
never pull the machine backwards to-
wards you.
You can use the router only in connection
with the guide rail (3.1).
10
Always connect the machine to a
dust extractor.
