Functional description
The pictures for the functional description are on a
fold-out page at the beginning of the instruction
manual. When reading of the manual you can fold
out this page for having always an overview of the
machine.
Accessories shown or described are sometimes not
included in the scope of delivery.
Compressed-air supply and commissioning
Compressed air preparation
The machine is designed for lubricated operation
and must be operated with the Festool service unit.
Comprising a filter, controller, condensate outlet
and oiler, it ensures clean, oiled compressed air
free of condensation. The oiler must be adjusted so
that approx. every 15 minutes a drop of oil is added
to the compressed air. The correct setting depends
on the daily usage time.
Damage that occurs as a result of incorrect
compressed air processing is excluded from
warranty claims.
We recommend a service unit with a 3/8" connector,
when up to two Festool compressed air tools are
used.
A compressor that supplies at least 350 l/min at an
operating pressure of 6 bar (87 psi) should be used
to supply compressed air.
The diameter of the piping system must be suffi-
ciently large (at least 9 mm (3/8")).
