3 Safety warnings
3.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in
structions, illustrations and specifica
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
English
6

c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of elec
tric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp loca
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3 PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a pow
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inat
tention while operating power tools may re
sult in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Al
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car
rying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench be
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal in
jury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected sit
uations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth
ing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become compla
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing acces
sories, or storing power tools. Such pre
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfami
liar with the power tool or these instruc
tions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of un
trained users.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of mov
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
English
7

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc
tions, taking into account the working con
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz
ardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
a. Have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists only and always use original
spare parts. This ensures that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b. Only use original parts for repairs and
maintenance. The use of incompatible ac
cessories or spare parts can result in elec
tric shocks or other injuries.
3.2 Machine-specific safety notices
–Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may
contact 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.
–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 tools that meet standard
EN 847-1. All Festool routing tools fulfill
these requirements.
– 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, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
3.3 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.
3.4 Health hazard by dust
WARNING! various dust created by pow
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
– lead from lead-based paints,
– crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
– arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
English
8

The risk from these expo
sures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your expo
sure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER
MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
4 Intended use

Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper
ature. The power tool continues operating at re
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
English
10

automatically once the motor has cooled suffi
ciently.
Restart protection
The built-in restart protection prevents the
power tool from starting up again automatically
if the power is disconnected when the on/off
switch is pressed. In this case, the power tool
must be switched off and then switched back on
again.
Due to the built-in restart protection, the power
tool cannot be switched on and off via an exter
nal switch module.
8.2 Changing tools
CAUTION
Risk of injury from hot and sharp insertion
tool
► Do not use any blunt or faulty insertion
tools.
► Wear protective gloves when handling an
insertion tool.
To change tools, turn the power tool upside
down.
Inserting the tool
► Insert the routing tool into the open collet
as far as possible or at least up to the
mark on the router shank.
If the collet [3A-2] cannot be seen due to
the union nut [3A-3], the routing
tool [3A-1] must be inserted into the collet
to the extent that the mark no longer
projects beyond the union nut.
► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop
on the right-hand side.
► Tighten the nut [1-15] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 24).
The spindle stop only jams the motor spin
dle in one direction of rotation. Therefore,
there is no need to use a spanner for tight
ening and loosening nuts. Instead, a ratch
et can be moved backwards and forwards.
Removing the tool
► Press the switch [1-14] for the spindle stop
on the left-hand side.
► Undo the nut [1-15] using an open ended
spanner (WAF 24) until you can feel resist
ance. Overcome the resistance by continu
ing to turn the open ended spanner.
► Remove the router.

8.3 Changing the collets
Collets are available for the following shaft di
ameters: 1/4" (6.35 mm); 5/16" (8.0 mm);
3/8“ (9.53 mm); 1/2" (12.7 mm) (See Festool
catalogue or online at www.festool.com for the
order numbers)
► Completely unscrew the nut [1-15] and re
move it together with the collet.
► Only insert a new collet into the spindle if a
nut is fitted and engaged.
► Gently screw in the nut. Do not tighten the
nut if no cutter is inserted.
8.4 Setting the routing depth
The routing depth is set in three steps:
1. Set the zero point, see 8.5.
2. Specify the routing depth, see 8.6.
3. Clamp the routing depth, see 8.7.
8.5 Setting the zero point
► Release the clamp lever [1-6] so that the
depth stop [1-7] can move freely.
► Position the router with the router ta
ble [1-9] on a level surface. Open the rotary
knob [1-5] and push the power tool down
wards until the cutter sits on the surface.
► Clamp the power tool in this position by
closing the rotary knob [1-5].
► Press the depth stop [1-7] against one of
the three fixed stops of the rotatable step
ped stop [1-8].
A screwdriver can be used to individually adjust
the height of each fixed stop.
► Push the indicator [1-3] downwards so that
it points to 0" (0 mm) on the scale.
English
11

If the zero position is incorrect, this can be
corrected using the screw [1-2] on the in
dicator [1-3].
8.6 Specifying the routing depth
The required routing depth can be specified us
ing either quick depth adjustment or fine depth
adjustment.
Quick depth adjustment
► Pull the depth stop [1-7] upwards until the
indicator [1-3] points to the required rout
ing depth.
► Clamp the depth stop in this position using
the clamp lever [1-6].
Fine depth adjustment
► Clamp the depth stop using the clamp lev
er [1-6].
► Set the required routing depth by turning
the adjusting wheel [1-4].
Turning the adjusting wheel by a mark
changes the routing depth by 0.004"
(0.1 mm). A full rotation changes the rout
ing depth by 1/16" (1 mm). The maximum
adjustment range for the adjusting wheel
is 5/16" (8 mm).
8.7 Clamping the routing depth
► Open the rotary knob [1-5] and push the
power tool down until the depth stop touch
es the fixed stop.
► Clamp the power tool in this position by
closing the rotary knob [1-5].
8.8 Dust extraction
WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► Install the dust extraction attachment on
the router table:
▷ Position the dust-extraction attachment
with the two tenons [3-1] in the recess
es [3-2] on the router table.
▷ Position the dust-extraction attachment
on the router table and pull the lev
er [3-5].
To enable the dust-extraction attachment
to be attached and removed when the
router is fitted, the cut-out [3-3] in the ex
tractor connector can be opened by turn
ing the segment [3-4].
To ensure optimal dust extraction, the cut-
out with the rotatable segment must be
closed while work is carried out.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 1-7/16" (36 mm) or 1-1/16" (27 mm)
(1-7/16" (36 mm) recommended due to the re
duced risk of clogging) can be connected to the
extractor connector [3-6].

CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not
used, static charge may occur. The user may
receive an electric shock and the electronics of
the power tool may be damaged.
Chip deflector KSF-OF
The chip deflector KSF-OF (available as an ac
cessory depending on the model) can improve
the efficiency of the dust extraction system
when edge routing.
The chip deflector is installed in the same way
as the copying ring, see figure [8].
A hacksaw can be used to cut along the grooves
of the guard and therefore make it smaller. The
chip deflector can then be used for inner radii
down to a minimum radius of 1-1/2" (40 mm).
9 Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
English
12

– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-5] +
[1-11]. This is a prerequisite for precise
work and is essential for plunge-cutting.
Plunge into the workpiece slowly and even
ly.
– When routing, ensure that the power tool's
feed direction is the same as the tool's cut
ting direction, see figure [9].
9.1 Freehand routing
Freehand routing is the method normally used
for lettering or shapes, and for routing edges
using cutters with a guide pin or ring.
9.2 Routing with a parallel side fence
For work running parallel to the workpiece
edge, the supplied parallel side fence [4-9] can
be used.
► Clamp the two guide rods [4-2] to the paral
lel side fence using the two rotary
knobs [4-4].
► Insert the guide rods into the grooves of the
router table to the required extent and
clamp them using the rotary knob [4-5].

Fine adjustment
► Open the rotary knob [4-6] to make a fine
adjustment using the adjusting wheel [4-8].
The scale ring [4-7] has a 0.004" (0.1 mm)
scale for this purpose. If the adjusting
wheel is held, the scale ring can be turned
separately so that it can be set to zero. The
scale [4-1] displays the adjustment in milli
metres.
► Close the rotary knob [4-6] after making a
fine adjustment.
► Set the two guidance jaws [4-3] [5-1] so
that they are approx. 7/32" (5 mm) from the
cutter. To do this, loosen the screws [5-2]
and retighten them after making an adjust
ment.
► As shown in figure [5], push the dust-ex
traction attachment [5-4] from behind until
it engages on the parallel side fence.
An extractor hose with a diameter of
1-1/16" (27 mm) or 1-7/16" (36 mm)
should be connected at the extractor con
nector [5-3].

9.3 Routing with the FS guide system
The guide system (available as an accessory)
makes it easier to route straight grooves.
► Secure the guide rail adapter [6-1] to the
router table using the guide rods [6-8] of
the parallel side fence.
► Secure the guide rail [6-3] to the workpiece
using fastening clamps [6-4].
Ensure that there is a safety distance X of
(see figure [6]) 7/32" (5 mm) between the
front edge of the guide rail and the cutter,
or the groove.
► Place the guide rail adapter on the guide
rail, as shown in figure [6]. To ensure that
the router stop can be guided without play,
use a screwdriver through the top open
ings [6-2] on the side to adjust the two
guidance jaws.
► Tighten the height-adjustable support [6-6]
on the threaded hole of the router table so
that the underside of the router table is par
allel to the workpiece surface.
When working with marking-up lines, the
marks on the platen [6-5] and the scale on the
support [6-6] show the centre axis of the cutter.

9.4 Copy cutting
A copying ring or the copying device is used to
exactly reproduce existing workpieces (acces
sories).
Copying ring
When choosing the size of the copying ring, en
sure that the cutter being used fits through its
opening.
Excess Y (figure [9]) of the workpiece to the
template is calculated as follows:
Y = (copying ring diameter - cutter diameter)/2
► Attach the copying ring [8-1] to the router
table: Insert the two tenons [8-2] into the
recesses [8-3].
► To remove the copying ring: Press the two

3 Consignes de sécurité
3.1 Consignes générales de sécurité pour
outils électroportatifs
AVERTISSEMENT ! Veuillez lire toutes
les consignes de sécurité, instructions,
illustrations et caractéristiques techniques qui
accompagnent le présent outil électroportatif.
Des négligences relatives aux instructions sui
vantes peuvent occasionner un choc électrique,
un incendie et/ou des blessures graves.
Conserver l'ensemble des consignes de sécu
rité et des instructions afin de pouvoir les con
sulter ultérieurement.
Le terme « outil électroportatif » utilisé dans
les consignes de sécurité se rapporte aux outils
électroportatifs fonctionnant sur secteur (avec
câble) et aux outils électroportatifs fonction
nant sur batterie (sans câble).
1 SÉCURITÉ DU POSTE DE TRAVAIL
a. Veillez à ce que la zone de travail soit pro
pre et bien éclairée. Un poste de travail en
désordre ou mal éclairé peut entraîner des
accidents.
b. Ne vous servez pas de l'outil électroporta
tif dans un environnement où il y a un ris
que d'explosion dû à la présence de liqui
des inflammables, de gaz ou de poussiè
res. Les outils électroportatifs peuvent gé
nérer des étincelles susceptibles d'enflam
mer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
c. Éloignez les enfants et d'autres personnes
pendant l'utilisation de l'outil électropor
tatif. Si vous êtes distrait, vous pouvez per
dre le contrôle de l'outil électroportatif.
2 SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
a. Le connecteur de l'outil électroportatif
doit correspondre à la prise électrique. Le
connecteur ne doit être modifié d'aucune
façon. N'utilisez pas d'adaptateur avec des
outils électroportatifs mis à la terre. Des
connecteurs intacts et des prises corres
pondantes diminuent le risque d'un choc
électrique.
b. Évitez tout contact avec des surfaces mi
ses à la terre telles que des tuyaux, chauf
fages, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Un
risque élevé de choc électrique existe si vo
tre corps est relié à la terre.
c. Protégez les outils électroportatifs de la
pluie et de l'humidité. L'infiltration d'eau
dans un outil électroportatif augmente le
risque de choc électrique.
d. Ne détournez pas l'utilisation du câble de
raccordement pour porter l'outil électro
portatif, l'accrocher ou pour tirer le con
necteur de la prise. Éloignez le câble de la
chaleur, de l'huile, de bords tranchants ou
de pièces en mouvement. Des câbles de
raccordement endommagés ou enchevê
trés augmentent le risque de choc électri
que.
e. Si vous travaillez avec un outil électropor
tatif à l'extérieur, utilisez uniquement des
rallonges prévues pour l'extérieur. L'utili
sation d'un câble prévu pour l'extérieur di
minue le risque d'un choc électrique.
f. Utilisez un disjoncteur à courant de défaut
quand le fonctionnement de l'outil élec
troportatif en environnement humide ne
peut pas être évité. L'utilisation d'un dis
joncteur à courant de défaut diminue le ris
que d'un choc électrique.
3 SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES
a. Soyez attentif à ce que vous faites, faites
preuve de bon sens lorsque vous travail
lez avec l'outil électroportatif. N'utilisez
pas l'outil électroportatif si vous êtes fati
gué ou si vous êtes sous l'influence de
drogues, de l'alcool ou de médicaments.
Un moment d'inattention lors de l'utilisa
tion de l'outil électroportatif peut entraîner
des blessures graves.
b. Portez un équipement de protection indi
viduelle et des lunettes de protection en
permanence. Le port d'un équipement de
protection individuelle tel que masque
contre la poussière, chaussures de sécu
rité antidérapantes, casque ou protection
auditive, en fonction du type et de l'utilisa
tion de l'outil électroportatif, diminue le
risque de blessures.
c. Évitez toute mise en service involontaire.
Assurez-vous que l'outil électroportatif
est déconnecté avant de le raccorder à
l'alimentation électrique et/ou à la batte
rie, avant de le soulever ou de le porter.
Si, en portant l'outil électroportatif, vous
avez le doigt sur l'interrupteur ou si vous
raccordez l'outil électroportatif connecté à
l'alimentation électrique, cela peut entraî
ner des accidents.
d. Retirez les outils de réglage ou les clés
anglaises avant de connecter l'outil élec
troportatif. Un outil ou une clé qui se trou
ve dans une partie de l'outil électroportatif
en rotation peut entraîner des blessures.
Français
19

e. Évitez toute position de travail anormale.
Veillez à maintenir une position stable et
un bon équilibre à tout moment. Vous
pourrez ainsi à tout moment contrôler l'ou
til électroportatif dans des situations inat
tendues.
f. Portez des vêtements adaptés. Ne portez
pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux.
Éloignez vos cheveux et vos vêtements
des pièces en mouvement. Des vêtements
amples, des bijoux ou des cheveux longs
pourraient se prendre dans les pièces en
mouvement.
g. Si des dispositifs d'aspiration et de récu
pération des poussières peuvent être
montés, raccordez-les et utilisez-les cor
rectement. L'utilisation d'une aspiration
des poussières peut diminuer les dangers
dus aux poussières.
h. Ne vous croyez pas faussement en sécu
rité et n'enfreignez pas les règles de sé
curité destinées aux outils électroporta
tifs, même si vous maîtrisez l'outil élec
troportatif après de multiples utilisations.
Un manque d'attention peut en un quart de
seconde entraîner de graves blessures.
4 UTILISATION ET TRAITEMENT DE L'OUTIL
ÉLECTROPORTATIF
a. Ne surchargez pas l'outil électroportatif.
Utilisez l'outil électroportatif destiné à vo
tre travail. L'outil électroportatif adapté
vous permet de travailler mieux et avec
plus de sécurité dans la plage de puissance
indiquée.
b. N'utilisez aucun outil électroportatif dont
l'interrupteur serait défectueux. Un outil
électroportatif qui ne peut plus être mis en
marche ou arrêté est dangereux et doit
être réparé.
c. Débranchez le connecteur de la prise de
courant et/ou retirez une batterie amovi
ble avant d'effectuer des réglages sur
l'appareil, de remplacer des pièces d'outil
ou de déposer l'outil électroportatif. Cette
mesure de précaution empêche un démar
rage involontaire de l'outil électroportatif.
d. Rangez toujours les outils électroportatifs
inutilisés hors de portée des enfants. Ne
laissez aucune personne à laquelle vous
ne faites pas confiance ou qui n'a pas lu
ces consignes se servir de l'outil électro
portatif. Les outils électroportatifs sont
dangereux lorsqu'ils sont utilisés par des
personnes inexpérimentées.
e. Prenez soin de vos outils électroportatifs
et outils. Vérifiez que les parties mobiles
fonctionnent sans problème, qu'elles ne
coincent pas et qu'il n'y a pas de parties
cassées ou endommagées qui pourraient
entraver le bon fonctionnement de l'outil
électroportatif. Faites réparer les parties
endommagées avant d'utiliser l'outil élec
troportatif. De nombreux accidents sont
dus à un mauvais entretien des outils élec
troportatifs.
f. Maintenez les outils de coupe affûtés et
propres. Des outils de coupe entretenus
avec soin dotés de bords de coupe affûtés
se coincent moins et sont plus faciles à uti
liser.
g. Utilisez l'outil électroportatif, les outils,
etc. en respectant ces instructions. Tenez
compte des conditions de travail et de la
tâche à effectuer. L'utilisation des outils
électroportatifs pour d'autres applications
que celles prévues peut entraîner des situ
ations dangereuses.
h. Veillez à ce que les poignées et surfaces
des poignées soient sèches, propres et
exemptes d'huile ou de graisse. Des poi
gnées et surfaces de poignées glissantes
ne permettent pas une utilisation en toute
sécurité ni un contrôle de l'outil électro
portatif dans des situations imprévues.
5 SERVICE
a. Faites réparer votre outil électroportatif
uniquement par un personnel qualifié ; les
réparations doivent être uniquement ef
fectuées avec des pièces détachées d'ori
gine, afin de garantir la fiabilité de l'outil
électroportatif.
b. Pour la réparation et l'entretien, n'utilisez
que des pièces d'origine. L'utilisation d'ac
cessoires ou de pièces détachées non
adaptés risque de provoquer une électro
cution ou des blessures.
3.2 Consignes de sécurité spécifiques à
l'appareil
–Tenez l'outil électroportatif uniquement
par les parties isolées car la fraise peut
entrer en contact avec son propre câble de
