Commissioning
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [2] .
The switch [1-1] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).
 In case of a power failure or if the mains con-
nector is removed, move the on/off switch im-
mediately to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
Settings
Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if the
machine is used as intended (reasonable contact
pressure), a constant sanding speed is achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set [1-3] between 6000 and
12000 min
-1
using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter Working with the ma-
chine).
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
 The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-
er source must correspond with the specifica-
tions on the machine's 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

fore performing any type of work on the ma-
chine!
