4 Safety instructions
4.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warn-
ings and all instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
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.
4.2 Machine-related safety instruc-
tions
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may con-
tact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pow-
er tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
–
The tools must be rated for at least the
speed marked on the power tool.
Tools
running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
– The clamping collet should only be used to
clamp tools with a shank diameter appro-
priate for the collet.
– Check that the cutter is firmly fitted and
runs freely.
– The clamping collet and union nut must
show no signs of damage.
–
Never use dull or damaged mortising
bits.
Dull or damaged mortising bits can
cause the tool to lurch sideways unexpect-

Wear suitable protection: such as ear
protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for
work which generates dust, and protective
gloves when working with raw materials
and when changing tools.
4.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN
60745 are typically:
Vibration emission value a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K mea-
sured in accordance with EN 60745:
The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be
higher when the tool is used. Take into ac-
count any machine idling times and down-
times to estimate these values more accu-
rately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the ma-
chine operating period.
4.4 Metal processing
When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety
reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current cir-
cuit-breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits in the mo-
tor housing.
5 Operation

nut with a 22 mm open-end ed spanner.
Slot and rebating cutters have a tapered
shank [3-4], and are secured by means of a
locking nut [3-5]:
X Turn the locking nut on the cutter down to
the start of the shaft [3-5 --> - ].
X Insert the tapered shank into the motor
spindle, and tighten the locking nut with a
22 mm open-end ed spanner [3-5 --> +].
6.2 Setting the milling depth
The milling depth is adjusted in three stages:
Setting the zero point
X Open the clamping lever [1-6] so that the
stop cylinder [1-7] can move freely.
X Place the router with router table onto a
smooth surface. Open the rotary knob [1-
13] and press the machine down until the
milling cutter rests on the base.
X Clamp the machine in this position by
tightening the rotary knob [1-13].
X Press the stop cylinder against one of the
three sensing stops of the pivoted turret
stop [1-9].
The individual height of each sensing stop
can be adjusted with a screwdriver:
X Push the pointer [1-14] down so that it
shows 0 mm on the scale [1-12].
Setting the milling depth
The desired milling depth can be set either
with the quick depth adjustment or with the
fine depth adjustment.

guard should be clean ed to free it of putty
remains, etc.
7 Electronics
– Do not use the machine when the electron-
ics are faulty because the machine may
operate at excessive speeds. An absence of
the smooth start-up function or speed con-
trol indicates that the electronics are
faulty.
The machine features full-wave electronics
with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The motor speed remains constant through
electronic control to ensure a uniform cutting
speed even when under load.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly be-
tween 10000 and 24000 rpm using the ad-
justing wheel [1-3]. This enables you to op-
timise the cutting speed to suit the material.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electron-
ics switches the machine off when it reaches
a critical motor temperature. Let the ma-
chine cool down for approx. 3–5 minutes be-
fore using it again. The machine requires less
time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neu-
tral position.
Brake
The KF 5 EBQ has an electronic brake which
brings the spindle with tool to a standstill
within approx. 2 seconds of the tool being
switched off.
8 Dust extraction
At the extractor connector [1-8], a Festool
mobile dust extractor with an extraction hose
diameter of 27 mm can be connected.
9 Working with the machine
Please observe all mentioned safety in-
formations and the following rules
when working:
– Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands
on the handles [1-2; 1-13] when perform-
ing work. This reduces the risk of injury
and is a prerequisite for precise work.
For work that generates dust, wear a
dust mask.
– Always switch on the router before bring-
ing the router bit into contact with the
workpiece!
– Always advance the router in the direction
opposite to the direction of rotation of the
cutter (counter-routing).
10 Service and maintenance
