Changing Tools; Dust Extraction - Festool PF 1200 E Notice D'utilisation D'origine

3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
Switch (4.2) serves as an On/Off switch (press =
ON, release = OFF). The switch can only be activat-
ed after the switch lock (4.1) has been pushed up.
Activating the switch lock simultaneously locks
the plunging equipment and the milling unit can
be moved down against the spring force. This
causes the milling tool to emerge from the pro-
tective cover.
Only guide the machine against the work-
piece when it is switched on.
When the machine is lifted, the milling unit
springs back into the starting position.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 Sensor
The sensor remains on the workpiece while it is
being routed. Its function is to determine the cut-
ting depth. Festool offers sensors for all the usual
plate thicknesses.
Changing the sensor
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the left.
– Open the fl ap (1.2).
– Unscrew the four screws (1.4).
– Replace the jockey roller (1.5).
– Tighten the four screws (1.4).
– Close the fl ap (1.2).
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
4.2 Depth stop (4.5)
When the sensor is on the workpiece, i.e. in
working position, there must be a gap of 0.3 mm
between the depth stop (4.5) and the stop plate
(4.4). This limits the cutting depth, and prevents
the machine from tilting to the side while work is
in progress. This would happen if one side of the
machine moved away from the guide rail.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the three screws on
the rotating depth stop. The screws have been
set for plate thickness of 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm
in the factory.

Changing tools

– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the left.
– Open the fl ap (1.2).
– Press the spindle stop (2.1) and turn the tool
(2.4) until the spindle stop latches into place;
keep the spindle stop pressed in.
– Open the screw (2.2).
– Remove the tool (2.5) and sensor (2.4).
– Clean the contact surface between the tool
fl ange, the tool, and the sensor; insert the new
tool with the sensor.
The direction of rotation on the tool must be
the same as the direction of rotation of
the machine (2.3).
– Tighten the screw (2.2) and let go of the spindle
stop
– Close the fl ap (1.2).
– Press the screws (1.1) and turn them to the right
until they latch into place.
4.4

Dust extraction

Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 36 mm to the extractor
connector (4.8).
5 Electronics
The PF 1200 E features full-wave elec-
tronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the milling machine
starts up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5700 min
(4.3). We recommend the following position in the
adjusting wheel (4.3): 5-6.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in neutral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature. Let the machine cool down
for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The
machine requires less time to cool down if it is
running, i.e. in neutral position.
