Safety rules
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fi re and/
or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General safety rules
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 fl ammable 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. Unmodifi ed 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 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 in-
crease 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 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) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
„live“ wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool „live“ and shock the operator.
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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or plugging in 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.
2
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves 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 these devices can reduce dust re-
lated hazards.
4) Tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect 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 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 dan-
gerous 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 tools 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 and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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.
Specifi c Safety Rules
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ”live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
”live” and shock the operator.
b) Use clamps or another suitable means
to support and secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
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,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
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 ventilated
area and use approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a
suffi cient cross-section so as to prevent an exces-
sive 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 cable diameter as a function of
the cable length for the router OF 1010 EQ. Use
only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never
use two extension cables together. Instead, use
one long one.

Use for intended purpose
The routers are designed for routing wood, plastics
and similar materials. Aluminium and plasterboard
can also be processed with corresponding cutters
such as are listed in the Festool catalogues.
The user is liable for damages and
injuries due to incorrect usage.
Electrical connection
The network voltage must conform to the voltage
indicated on the rating plate. A 16 A safety fuse
(for 120 V) or a corresponding protective circuitbreaker is required.
See the following fi gure for connection and disconnection of the power cable.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the power cable!
Switching the machine on and off
3.2
3.1
3.3
3.4
Keep the machine steady during
switching and during use by holding the handle
(3.2) and the additional handle (3.1) with both
hands.
The switch (3.4) is used to switch the tool on and
off. For continuous operation the switch can be
locked by means of the button on the side (3.3).
The switch can be unlocked by pressing again.
After the machine has been switched
off, the milling cutter will still rotate for a time.
Take care that parts of your body do not come
into contact with the milling cutter while it is still
rotating!
Electronics
Do not work with the OF 1010 EQ if
the electronic control is defective since this may
lead to excessive speeds. A defect in the electronic
control is indicated by the absence of a smooth
run-up, a higher noise level at idle or the fact that
no speed control is possible.
The router OF 1010 EQ has solid shaft electronics
with the following functions:
Smooth start-up:
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
facility enables start-up of the machine without
jerks and requires a lower start-up current.

Speed regulation:
Using the electronic speed control (1.1) the motor
speed can be continuously adjusted from 10 000
and 23 000 rpm.
The table below offers a guide to the correct electronic setting for various materials. The settings
are naturally infi nitely variable.

Constant speed:
The selected motor speed is electronically
maintained to a constant level. By this means a
uniform cutting speed is achieved.
Temperature protection:
Extreme overloading during continuous use leads
to the motor overheating. To protect against
overheating (burnout of the motor) an electronic
temperature monitor is installed. Before a
critical motor temperature is reached, the safety
electronics switch the motor off. After a cooling
down time of about 3 to 5 minutes, the machine
is ready for operation again and can be fully
loaded. The cooling down time can be reduced
considerably if the machine is allowed to idle.
Tool settings
5.2
Using the KSF-OF chip catcher (sometimes
included in the scope of delivery), the effi ciency
of the extraction can be increased when routing
edges.
Fasten the KSF-OF chip catcher (5.1) to the platen
instead of the cover ring (4.2) from below.
The hood can be cut off along the grooves (5.2)
using a hacksaw and can thus be reduced in size.
The chip catcher can then be used for interior
radiuses up to a minimum radius of 40 mm.
Milling cutters
Do not exceed the maximum speed
specifi ed on the tool and/or keep to the speed
range. Cracked or distorted cutters must not be
used.
We recommend that milling cutters with diameters
over 30 mm should not be used with this
machine.
Always disconnect the plug from the
power supply before making any adjustments
to the router or installing or removing any
accessory!
