Dust Extraction; Working With The Machine; Service And Maintenance; Accessories - Festool KF 5 EBQ Manual De Instrucciones Original/Lista De Piezas De Repuesto

Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
10000 and 24000 rpm using the adjusting wheel [1-
3]. This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to
suit the material.
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 ma-
chine requires less time to cool down if it is running,
i.e. in neutral position.
Brake
The KF 5 EBQ has an electronic brake which brings
the spindle with tool to a standstill within approx. 2
seconds of the tool being switched off.

Working with the machine

Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands on the
handles [1-2; 1-13] when performing work. This
reduces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite for
precise work.
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.

router bit into contact with the workpiece!
– Always advance the router in the direction oppo-
site to the direction of rotation of the cutter

able material!
