Dust extraction

Always connect the tool to a dust extrac-
tor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 36 mm to the extractor
connector (4.8).
6 Electronics
The PF 1200 E features full-wave electro-
nics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the milling tool
starts up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5700 min
-1
(4.3). We recommend the following position in the
adjusting wheel (4.3): 5-6.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant wheth-
er the tool is in operation or in neutral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the tool off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature. Let the tool cool down for
approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The tool
requires less time to cool down if it is running, i.e.
in neutral position.
7 Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
cut.
The tool must always be held with both
hands by the designated handles (5.1,
5.2).
Always push the tool forwards (5.3), never
pull the tool backwards towards you.
You can use the milling tool only in con-
nection with the guide rail (3.1).
Attach the guide rail to the workpiece as follows
– The guide rail must extend at least 150 mm
beyond either end of the workpiece.
– Align the guide rail using the gauge mark (3.2).
The front edge (3.4) shows the centre of the
groove.
using the adjusting wheel
– Secure both sides of the guide rail to the work-
piece using two clamps (3.3).
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
– Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
– Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
Route the groove as follows
– Ensure that the sensor and depth stop are cor-
rectly set for the workpiece thickness.
– Place the tool on the guide rail in front of the
edge of the workpiece. The mark (4.7) shows
the centre axis of the milling tool.
– Switch on the tool.
– Move the tool downwards slowly until the stop
plate (4.4) is resting on the depth stop (4.5).
– Move the tool forward along the guide rail in
order to route the groove. The gauge mark (4.6)
shows the centre of the groove.
– When the groove is complete, switch the tool off
and swivel it upwards.
Plunge-cut
In the case of plunge cuts, a guide limiter
(6.1) must be attached behind the tool be-
cause of the danger of kickbacks. Position
the tool on the guide limiter, hold securely
with both hands and move it downwards
very slowly.
8 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the tool.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots
clean.
The tool is fitted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
