5 Safety instructions
5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly and that it runs perfectly.
- The clamping collet and locking nut must show no signs of damage.
- Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1. All Festool routing tools fulfil these requirements.
- The maximum rotational speed specified on the tool must not be exceeded and the rotational speed range must be observed.
- Do not use cracked or deformed router bits.
-
Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable shank diameter in the clamping collet.
-
Only guide the electric power tool along the workpiece when switched on.
- Keep your hands away from the routing area and the router bit. Hold the additional hand grip or the motor housing with your other hand.
- Never rout through metal objects, nails or screws.
- Secure the workpiece.
- Take appropriate protective measures when performing work that may generate harmful, combustible or explosive dust. Never process material containing asbestos.
- Wait until the machine has stopped before setting it down.
- Wear suitable protection such as ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which generates dust, and protective gloves when working with raw materials and when changing tools.
5.3 Emission levels
Noise levels are measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Sound pressure level LPA = 78 dB(A)
Noise level LWA = 89 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3dB
CAUTION
The noise produced during work can damage your hearing.
Always use ear protection!
Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three directions) measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission level (3-axis) a_b = 3,0 ~m / s^2
Uncertainty K = 2,0m / s^2
The emission values specified (vibration, noise) were measured in accordance with the test conditions 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 specified refer to the main applications for which the power tool is used. If the electric power tool is used for other applications, with other tools or is not maintained sufficiently 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 specified time period. This may significantly reduce the load during the machine operating period.
6 Commissioning

7 Machine settings
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 steplessly between 10000 and 26000 rpm using the adjusting wheel [2- 1]. This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the respective material.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains constant through electronic control. This ensures a uniform cutting speed even when under strain.
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 machine requires less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral position.
7.2 Changing the router table
