6 Operation

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.

WARNING

Risk of injury, electric shock

▶ Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before performing any work on the machine.

WARNING

Hazardous dust

▶ Wear a dust mask.

WARNING

Risk of injury, electric shock

- Allow the power tool to acclimatise before use.

6.1 Tightening the stirrer (see figure 2)

▶ Screw in the stirrer [2-3] with endpiece M14x2 (wrench size 22) by turning it to the right in the adapter ErgoFix [2-1] (wrench size 19) and use the wrench to tighten it.
▶ Fasten the ErgoFix adapter to the stirrer bar, then insert the assembled stirrer into the slot of the spindle.

To set-up the working height see chapter 6.5.

6.2 Switching the machine on and off

Always hold the machine with both hands - one on the right handle [1-4] and one left handle [1-7].

The switch [1-2] serves as on/off switch (press = ON, release = OFF).

Using the switch button to control the speed (acceleration function switch)

You can use the switch [1-2] to change the level of the speed until it reaches the speed range that is set by the speed controller.

Continuous operation

By pressing the switch [1-2] as far as it goes and pressing the locking switch button [1-3] at the same time, you can activate continuous operation. Press and release the switch button [1-2] again to switch off continuous operation.

6.3 Electronics

Smooth start-up

The electronically controlled smooth start-up ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.

At the same time, this also prevents the materials to be stirred from spurting out of the mixing container. Thanks to the low starting current of the machine, a 10 A fuse is sufficient.

Speed controller

You can use the speed controller [1-5] to set the speed:

* MX 1200/2 RE EF ** MX 1600/2 RE EF

1st speed * ** 2nd speed * **
Level 1	150	150 Level 1	320	320
Level 2	200	200 Level 2	440	440
Level 3	220	240 Level 3	470	520
Level 4	290	265 Level 4	570	570
Level 5	330	280 Level 5	680	600
Level 6	360	300 Level 6	780	650

The speed depends on the stirrer rod that is used and on the material that you want to process.

Overload protection

Electronic overload protection protects the motor from damage if there is an extreme overload. In this case, the motor remains at a standstill and only starts up again once the load has been removed. To restart the machine, you must switch it on again.

Constant speed

The electronics maintain an almost constant speed and load; this ensures that the material is mixed evenly.

Temperature-dependent overload protection

To protect the machine against overheating if it is being used for an extremely prolonged period, the safety electronics switch the motor to cooling mode as soon as the critical temperature is reached. You cannot load the machine and it runs at a reduced speed. Approx. 2 minutes after cooling, the machine is again ready for use and fully able to take loads.

Restart protection

The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected during continuous use. To put the power tool back into operation, it must first be switched off and then on again.

6.4 Speed selector switch

Two speed ranges can be preselected with the speed selector switch [1-8]:

* MX 1200/2 E EF/ ** MX 1600/2 E EF 1st speed 2nd speed
* 150–360 rpm 320–780 rpm
** 150–300 rpm 320–650 rpm

The gears can be switched when the machine is running down, however not under full load.

6.8 Mains connection

WARNING

There is a risk of accidents occurring if you do not use the correct power supply.

The stirrer must only be operated with a single-phase alternating current with a nominal voltage of 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz. In the 2nd level, the machine is protected against accidents caused by electrical current in accordance with the standard EN 62841 and it has built-in radio interference suppression in accordance with the standard EN 55014.

Before starting up the machine, check that the specifications on the type plate correspond to the actual voltage of the power supply.

If required, you can extend the flexible power cable as follows:

• Length 20 m, conductor cross-section 3 × 1.5 mm^2
• Length 50 m, conductor cross-section 3 × 2.5 ~mm^2

Only use extension cables that are suitable for outside use and that are marked accordingly.

Operating with electric generator (EG) with combustion motor drive

The manufacturer of the stirrer does not provide any guarantee for incorrect operation of the stirrer with any EG.

The stirrer can be operated with an EG if the following conditions are met:

- The output voltage of the EG must always be within the range of 230 VAC ±10%, the EG must be equipped with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR). The stirrer must not

work correctly without this regulation and may also become damage.

• The power of the EG must be at least 2.5 times greater than the connected load of the stirrer (i.e. 3 kW for MX 1200/2 RE EF, 3.75 kW for MX 1600/2 RE EF)
• If you operate using an EG that does not have sufficient power, the speed may fluctuate and the power of the machine may decrease.
