WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-

er source must correspond with the specifica-
tions on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with

the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [2].
Before switching on the machine make sure
that the bayonet fitting at the power supply
cord is closed fully and locked.
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always pull the mains plug out of the socket be-

fore performing any type of work on the ma-
chine!
Electronics
The machine features full-wave phase control elec-
tronics with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control to ensure a uniform
sanding speed even when under load.
Speed reduction in the event of high vibrations
If high vibrations and oscillations occur at the pow-
er tool, e.g. with the use of an interface pad, the

Operation

ON/OFF button [1-1]
ON Press the ON/OFF button [1-1]
OFF Press the ON/OFF button [1-1]
 When the extractor signal is active, the power
tool cannot be switched on without a connected
extractor hose - see chapter Extractor signal.
 In case of a power failure or if the mains con-
nector is removed, move the on/off switch im-
mediately to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.

Settings

speed is automatically reduced in order to protect
the power tool and the user.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con-
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tempera-
ture. If the temperature continues to rise, the pow-
er tool switches off and can only be switched on
again once the motor has cooled sufficiently.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set [1-6] between 6000 and
-1
10000 min using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter Working with the ma-
chine).
The electronic extractor signal detects whether an
extractor hose is connected at the power tool. Upon
activation the power tool can only be switched on
with a connected extractor hose.
