– Use clamps or another practical way to se
cure 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.
– 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.
– 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 per
missible level can rupture.
– 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.
– In the case of materials to be processed
which can become statically charged or
lead to static charging, a dissipative overall
system consisting of an antistatic suction
hose (AS) and extraction mobile must be
used.
– Do not clamp tools with an unsuitable
shank diameter in the clamping collet.
– Only use routers that meet standard EN
847-1. All Festool cutters meet these re
quirements.
– Ensure that the router bit is seated firmly
and that it runs perfectly.
– The clamping collet and locking nut must
not show any signs of damage
– Do not use cracked or deformed router
bits.
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip
ment:
Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust
mask for work that generates dust.
2.3 Sawing aluminium
When sawing aluminium, the following meas
ures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust
extractor with an antistatic suction hose.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo
tor housing on the power tool.
–
Wear protective goggles.
2.4 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance
with
EN 60745 are typically:
Sound pressure level L
PA
=
95 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 106 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3
dB
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 60745:
a
h
< 2.5 m/s
2
K = 1.5 m/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 pro
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.
3 Intended use
The router is designed for routing wood, plas
tics and wood-based materials.
If the cutters are used for the intended purpose
outlined in the Festool Sales, they may also be
used to machine aluminium and plasterboard.
The user is liable for improper or non-in
tended use.
