2 Safety warnings
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
2.2 Machine-specific safety notices
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
- Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable shank diameter in the clamping collet.
- Operate power tool only with properly installed guide table and extraction hood
- Only cutters provided by Festool for this purpose may be mounted on the power tool. The use of other cutters is prohibited due to the increased risk of injury.
- Only use cutters that meet standard EN 847-1. All Festool cutters meet these requirements.
- The clamping collet and locking nut must not show any signs of damage
- Do not use cracked or deformed router bits.
- Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly and that it runs perfectly.
- The maximum rotational speed specified on the tool must not be exceeded or the rotational speed range must be observed. Accessories that rotate faster than the permissible level can rupture.
- Do not work on the power tool if its electronics are defective as this may lead to excessive speeds. You can tell if the electronics are defective if there is no smooth start-up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed
and in the event of generation of smoke or the smell of burning from the machine.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment: Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work that generates dust.
- Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be supplied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
2.3 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level L
$$ _ {\mathrm{PA}} = 8 1 \mathrm{dB(A)} $$
Sound power level L
$$ _ {\mathrm{WA}} = 9 2 \mathrm{dB(A)} $$
Uncertainty K = 1.5 dB
CAUTION
Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing
▶ Always use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a _h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:
$$ \mathrm{a} _ {\mathrm{h}} < 2. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$
$$ \mathrm{K} = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined.
▶ Assess the actual load during the entire operating cycle.
▶ Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.
3 Intended use
The power tool is designed for routing wood, plastic and similar materials.
The user is liable for improper or non-in- intended use.

6 Commissioning
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency.
Risk of accidents
▶ The mains voltage and the frequency of the power source must correspond to the specifications on the name plate.
▶ In North America, only Festool machines with the voltage specifications 120 V / 60 Hz may be used.
CAUTION
Heating of the plug it connection if bayonet fitting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
▶ Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the bayonet fitting at the mains cable is closed fully and locked.
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable - see Fig. [2].
6.1 Switching on/off
The switch [3-2] serves as an on/off switch (l = ON, 0 = OFF).
7 Settings
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
▶ Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before performing any work on the machine.
7.1 Electronics
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant through electronic control. This ensures a uniform speed even when under load.
Speed control
You can use the adjusting wheel [3-1] to continuously adjust the speed within the speed range (see Section Technical data). This enables you to optimise the speed to suit the respective material. Please also note the specifications on the tools.
Scorch or melt marks on the material can be prevented through reducing the speed.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temperature. The power tool continues operating at reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor quickly. The power tool starts up again automatically once the motor has cooled sufficiently.
Restart protection
The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected when the on/off switch is pressed. In this case, the power tool must be switched off and then switched back on again.
Due to the built-in restart protection, the power tool cannot be switched on and off via an external switch module.
7.2 Replacing router table
The large surface router table is already fitted as standard. The large contact surface and precision adjustment features of this router table enable a high degree of accuracy. Other router tables are included in the accessories programme.

Extraction hoods are supplied for both router tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose with a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected to these extraction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia. 27 mm) can also be attached to the large surface router table or the side stop depending on the application.
CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not used, static charge may occur. The user may receive an electric shock and the electronics of the power tool may be damaged.
8 Working with the electric power tool
When working on the machine, observe all of the safety warnings that are listed at the start as well as the following rules:
- Always secure the workpiece in such a way that it cannot move during machining.
- Hold the machine with two hands – one on the motor housing and one on the gear head or on the additional handle [1-5] – to ensure safe guidance.
- Adjust the feed speed to the router diameter and the material. Work with a constant feed speed.
- Only guide the power tool towards the workpiece when it is switched on.
- Wait until the power tool has come to a complete halt before placing it down. The insertion tool can get caught and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
- Make sure that the router table is firmly tightened before routing.
- When routing, ensure that the power tool's feed direction is the same as the tool's cutting direction.
8.1 Guide types
Routing with a parallel side fence
For working parallel to the workpiece edge, the parallel side fence ^[2] [9-1] can be used.
- Clamp the two guide rods [9-7] to the parallel side fence using the two rotary knobs [9-8].
- Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the router table to the required extent and clamp them using the two rotary knobs [9-3].
Fine adjustment
▶ Open the rotary knob [9-5] to perform fine adjustment using the adjusting wheel [9-6].
Each number on the adjusting wheel is equal to fine adjustment of 0.1 mm.
▶ Close the rotary knob [9-5] after performing fine adjustment.
▶ Set the two guidance jaws [9-4] so that they are approx. 5 mm mm from the cutter. To do so, open the two jaw fasteners [9-2] and close them after making an adjustment.
Dust extraction attachment
▶ As shown in figure [10], push the dust extraction attachment [10-1] from behind until it engages on the parallel side fence.
▶ To remove the dust extraction attachment, slightly lift the tabs [10-3].
An extractor hose with a diameter of 27 mm mm or 36 mm mm can be connected to the extractor connector [10-2].
Edge trimming with a ball bearing guide [Fig. 11]
