Technical data, Symbols, Use for intended purpose

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, and

• 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 work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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 circuit-breaker is required.

See Fig. 2 for connection and disconnection of the power cable.

Always switch the machine off before connecting or disconnecting the power cable!

Extension cable

If an extension cable is required, it must have a sufficient cross-section so as 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 beside shows you the correct cable diameter as a function of the cable length for the router OF 1400 EQ. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never use two extension cables together. Instead, use one long one.

Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the cable.
