2 Safety warnings
2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica
tions 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.
- Operate power tool solely with properly installed guide table [1-12] and guard [1-3].
- Operate power tool only with locked adjusting ring (see section 7.3).
- 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 routers that meet standard EN 847-1. All Festool cutters meet these requirements.
- Used tools must be approved for speeds of at least 30,000 rpm according to EN 847-1.
- Spindle [3-3] and screw [3-1] must not be damaged.
- 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

2.3 Router safety instructions
General
- Proceed with extreme care when unpacking, packing and handling the tool (e.g. installing it in the machine). There is a risk of injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
- When handling the tool, wearing safety gloves provides a more secure hold of the tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
- Observe the safety warnings for your machine.
- Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your country.
- WARNING! Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
- Tools must be clamped in such a way that they cannot come loose during operation.
- Insert the routing tool into the collet as far as possible or at least up to the mark on the router shank.
- When assembling the tool, it must be ensured that the clamping takes place in the routing machine's collet and that the edges do not come into contact with one another or the fixed clamps.
- Clamping or fixing nuts must be tightened using suitable keys, etc. and with the torque specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting with a hammer.
- The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to remove contamination, grease, oil and water.
- Clamping screws must be tightened according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Service and maintenance
- Always use original Festool spare parts.
-
Repairs and sanding work may only be carried out by experts.
-
The tool design must not be changed.
- For repairs and sanding work, see the additional instructions at www.festool.com.
- Deresinify and clean the tool regularly (cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
- Blunt edges can be resharpened on the clamping surface to a minimum cutting edge thickness of 1mm .
- Only transport the tool in suitable packaging - risk of injury!
2.4 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level L
$$ \mathrm {p} _ {\mathrm {A}} = 8 0 \mathrm {d B} (\mathrm {A}) $$
Sound power level L
$$ \mathrm {w} _ {\mathrm {A}} = 9 1 \mathrm {d B} (\mathrm {A}) $$
Uncertainty K =
$$ 1, 5 \mathrm {d B} $$


CAUTION
Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing
Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a_h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:
$$ a _ {h} < 2. 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$
$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$
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.
The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated.
Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.
