Festool RO 150 FEQ Plug-It Cord Heating and Sparking Dilema
January 16th, 2008
We have had several RO 150 FEQ Dual-Mode sanders come back to us lately with burnt out plug-it cords. Make sure that you twist and lock the cords into the sander. Remember, the cords need to TWISTED 1/4 TURN. The cords are very tight, and although you may think the cord has been turned enough, ENSURE THAT IT HAS INDEED BEEN TURNED 1/4. If need be, make a mark on the cord end when you first plug it in, and then after you have twisted to lock it into place, is it a full 1/4 turn.
One other “slick trick” is to cover the prongs, and spray a little silicon onto the cord. This will serve to lube the cord, as well as make it a bit more pliable.
