levels at the workplace include the duration
of exposure, the nature of the working area,
other sources of noise, the number of ma-
chines and other adjacent processes, etc.
However, this information should enable
the user to assess the dangers and risks
more accurately.
5.3 Other risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant de-
sign regulations, dangers may still present
themselves when the machine is operated,
e.g.:
-
workpiece parts being thrown off,
-
parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
-
noise emissions,
-
wood dust emissions.

Commissioning
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is op-
erated using 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 voltage specifi cations of 120 V may
be used.
6.1 Assembling the machine
Setting up the machine
Ensure that the fl oor around the machine
is level, in good condition and free of loose
objects (e.g. chips and offcuts).
The machine can be set up with or with-
out the legs unfolded. To unfold the
legs:
Unscrew the rotary knobs [1-12] all the
way.
Unfold the legs [1-1] and tighten the ro-
tary knobs [1-12] again.
If the machine wobbles, turn the end cap
[1-9] on one leg to adjust the length so
that the machine stands securely.

Fitting the knob
Screw the rotary knob [2-6] supplied an-
ticlockwise into the guide rod.
Fitting the protective cover
Pull the spacer wedge [1-6] sharply up-
wards [7-2] to move to the top catch po-
sition.
Secure the top protective cover supplied
to the spacer wedge in this position using
the rotary knob [1-11].
6.2 On/Off switch
We recommend using a 16 A fuse be-
cause of the performance of the motor.
To switch on: Press the green "On" switch
[1-2]. The red button is the "Off" switch.
A switch-on lock is available as an ac-
cessory to prevent the machine from
switching on unintentionally.

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket
before performing any type of work on
the machine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics
with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-
up function ensures that the machine starts
up smoothly.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed (CS
70 EB only) steplessly between 2000 and
4200 rpm using the adjusting wheel [2-1].
This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the respective material.
The preselected motor speed remains con-
stant through electronic control. This en-
sures a uniform cutting speed even when
under strain.
Overload safety device
The machine power supply is limited if the
machine is overloaded to extremes. The pow-
