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
rections) measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Wire brushes
Plastic brushes
The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary es-
timates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.
Take note of idling and downtimes of 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 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.

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.

Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uniform
cutting speed even when under load.
Overload safety device
In extreme applications, the current consump-
tion may far exceed the permitted nominal value.
A "safety coupling" integrated in an electronic
overload safety device switches off the motor and
prevents it from burning out. Motor operation
resumes immediately after the load is relieved.
Temperature cut-out
To protect against overheating (burning out of mo-
tor), an electronic temperature monitoring system
has been installed. Prior to reaching a critical mo-
tor temperature, the safety electronics switches
off the motor. After a cooling time of approx. 3-5
minutes, the machine can be operated again at
