2 Safety instructions
2.1 General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result
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.
2.2 Tool-specific safety rules
- Only use the tools supplied by Festool for the
machine. Do not fit other tools into the machine
for safety reasons. Do not use tools with blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
- Ensure that the milling tool is firmly seated and
check that it runs smoothly.
Wear suitable personal protection
equipment: Ear protection to
reduce the risk of damaging your
hearing; Protective goggles; Face
mask to reduce the risk of inhal-
ing harmful dust; Protective
gloves when handling tools and
coarse materials
2.3 Noise and vibration information
The typical values determined in accordance with
EN 60745 are:
Sound-pressure level 91 dB(A)
Sound-power level 102 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Wear ear protection!
Vibration emission value ah(vector sum for three
directions) and uncertainty K measured in accord-
ance with EN 60745:
a
h= 3,0 m/s²
K = 2,0 m/s²
The emission values specified (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates 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 applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
ficiently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specification on the rating plate.
Switch (4.2) serves as an On/Off switch (press =
ON, release = OFF). The switch can only be activat-
ed after the switch lock (4.1) has been pushed up.
Activating the switch lock simultaneously locks
the plunging equipment and the milling unit can
be moved down against the spring force. This
causes the milling tool to emerge from the pro-
tective cover.

11
Only guide the machine against the work-
piece when it is switched on.
When the machine is lifted, the milling unit
springs back into the starting position.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 Sensor
The sensor remains on the workpiece while it is
being routed. Its function is to determine the cut-
ting depth. Festool offers sensors for all the usual
plate thicknesses.
Changing the sensor
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the
left.
- Open the flap (1.2).
- Unscrew the four screws (1.4).
- Replace the jockey roller (1.5).
- Tighten the four screws (1.4).
- Close the flap (1.2).
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
4.2 Depth stop (4.5)
When the sensor is on the workpiece, i.e. in
working position, there must be a gap of 0.3 mm
between the depth stop (4.5) and the stop plate
(4.4). This limits the cutting depth, and prevents
the machine from tilting to the side while work is
in progress. This would happen if one side of the
machine moved away from the guide rail.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the three screws on
the rotating depth stop. The screws have been
set for plate thickness of 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm
in the factory.
4.3 Changing tools
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the
left.
- Open the flap (1.2).
- Press the spindle stop (2.1) and turn the tool
(2.4) until the spindle stop latches into place;
keep the spindle stop pressed in.
- Open the screw (2.2).
- Remove the tool (2.5) and sensor (2.4).
- Clean the contact surface between the tool
flange, the tool, and the sensor; insert the new
tool with the sensor.
The direction of rotation on the tool must
be the same as the direction of rotation
of the machine (2.3).
- Tighten the screw (2.2) and let go of the spindle
stop
- Close the flap (1.2).
- Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
4.4 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a
dust extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 36 mm to the extractor
connector (4.8).
5 Electronics
The PF 1200 E features full-wave elec-
tronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the router starts
up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5500 min-1 using the adjusting wheel
(4.3). This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in neutral posi-
tion.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature. Let the machine cool down
for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The
machine requires less time to cool down if it is
running, i.e. in neutral position.
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(5.1, 5.2).
Always push the machine forwards (5.3),
never pull the machine backwards to-
wards you.
You can use the router only in connection
with the guide rail (3.1).

12
Attach the guide rail to the workpiece as fol-
lows
- The guide rail must extend at least 150 mm
beyond either end of the workpiece.
- Align the guide rail using the gauge mark (3.2).
The front edge (3.4) shows the centre of the
groove.
- Secure both sides of the guide rail to the work-
piece using two clamps (3.3).
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
Route the groove as follows
- Ensure that the sensor and depth stop are cor-
rectly set for the workpiece thickness.
- Place the machine on the guide rail in front of
the edge of the workpiece. The mark (4.7) shows
the centre axis of the router.
- Switch on the machine.
- Move the machine downwards slowly until the
stop plate (4.4) is resting on the depth stop
(4.5).
- Move the machine forward along the guide rail
in order to route the groove. The gauge mark
(4.6) shows the centre of the groove.
- When the groove is complete, switch the ma-
chine off and swivel it upwards.
Plunge-cut
In the case of plunge cuts, a guide limiter
(6.1) must be attached behind the ma-
chine because of the danger of kickbacks.
Position the machine on the guide limiter,
hold securely with both hands and move
it downwards very slowly.
7 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
The tool is fitted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
A brake disc (1.3) decelerates the sensor to pre-
vent it from being accelerated by the rotating
tool and leaving marks behind on the workpiece.
Replace the brake disc if its power decreases.
8 Accessories, tools
For your own safety, use only original
Festool accessories and spare parts.
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
“www.festool.com”.
9 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of the machine, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre! Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
