Why is the cut quality poor with my Festool Power Tool?
To resolve poor cut quality with your Festool Power Tool, ensure you are using the correct blade for the desired cut. Avoid forcing the saw; let the blade work at its intended speed. Also, use the correct blade speed: too slow can result in rough cuts, while too fast can burn the workpiece.
What to do if the dust extractor will not auto-start with my Festool Power Tool?
If the dust extractor isn't auto-starting with your Festool Power Tool, it might be because the saw speed is set to 1 and not drawing enough power to activate the auto-start. Also, make sure the saw’s power cord is plugged into the extractor’s auxiliary outlet. Note that the auto-start feature doesn't work with battery-powered jigsaws.
Why won't my cordless Festool Power Tool motor start?
If your cordless Festool Power Tool motor doesn't start, ensure the battery is properly charged and correctly installed. If possible, try a different battery to see if the problem persists.
Why does the saw blade burn on the rear of the blade shank on my Festool Power Tool?
If the saw blade burns on the rear of the blade shank of your Festool Power Tool, it may be because the blade guides are set too close for the thickness of the saw blade. Readjust the blade guides so that they barely contact the blade without restricting its movement. Note that for thinner workpieces, the blade guides can be set fairly wide without adversely affecting the cut quality.
How to fix LED work lights not working on my Festool Power Tool?
To troubleshoot LED work lights not functioning properly on your Festool Power Tool, first verify that the LED light function is correctly programmed. The LEDs will turn off if the saw is inverted or tilted slightly past the vertical position to prevent shining into the operator’s eyes; they will resume normal operation when the saw is turned on in the normal horizontal position.
