Festool PAC574553, PN574553 Extension cable, Electronic control, Smooth start-up, Idling speed

Electrical connec- tion and operation

The supply voltage must comply with the volt- age given on the ratings plate.

The switch (1.2) is used as an on/off switch. For your safety this is equipped with a switch- on interlock (1.1 ). In order to run the planer the switch-on interlock must first be pressed and then the switch.

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 shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and tool‘s ampere rating. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never use two extension cables together. Instead, use one long one.

Total Extension Cord	25	50	100	150
Lenght (feed)
Cord size (AWG)	18	16	14	12

Note: The lower the A.W.G. number, the stronger the cable.

Electronic control

The devices are fitted with a full-wave elec- tronic control with the following functions:

Smooth start-up

The electronically-controlled smooth start- up ensures that the machine starts without jolts.

Idling speed

The electronic circuit limits the idling speed. This means that the noise level also remains low during idling.

Constant speed

The speed of the planer shaft is electronically regulated to a constant value, thus also pro- viding a constant cutting speed under load.

Temperature protection

Extreme overload in continuous running will cause the motor to overheat. An electronic
