Safety instructions
General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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.
Cluttered and
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.
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, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric 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 in-
crease the risk of electric 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 location 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 power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as 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 connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying 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 before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery 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 freuquent use
Read the Operating Instructions/Notes!
Wear ear protection.
Wear a dust mask.
Wear protective goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
Disconnect from the power supply!

of tools allow you to become complacent 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 correct
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 battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive 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 unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving 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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
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 instructions taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5 SERVICE
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
Machine-related safety instructions
–
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
–
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
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.
– Check that the cutter is firmly fitted and runs
freely.
– The clamping collet and union nut must show no
signs of damage.
–
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.
–
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.
–
Never use dull or damaged mortising bits.
Dull
or damaged mortising bits can cause the tool to
lurch sideways unexpectedly and lead to a loss of
control of the power tool.
– The clamping collet should only be used to clamp
tools with a shank diameter appropriate for the
collet.
– Only guide the machine against the workpiece
when it is switched on.
– Do not cut metal objects, nails or screws.
–
Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down.
The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
–
Do not allow hands to reach into the cutting area
and come into contact with the cutter.
Use your
second hand to hold the additional hand grip or
the motor housing.
–
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.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
9
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ven-
tilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands after handling.
Intended use
The edge router with router table for edging must
be used for its intended purpose, i.e. cutting edges
made from wood, plastic and similar materials.
The user is liable for improper or non-intended use.

Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord
diameter as a function of the cord length for this
tool.
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cord.
