Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire Brushing Op-
erations
- Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
- If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work
load and centrifugal forces.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745
are typically:
Sound pressure level
Noise level
Measuring uncertainty allowance
WARNING
The noise produced during work may damage
your hearing.
Always use ear protection.
Overall vibration levels a

The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
fi ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.

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.
