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 the following fi gure for connection and discon-
nection 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
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.

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

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.
