Hi, I bought the 1400 router in 2016, I mainly intended using this for dove tail draw boxes but not really used it much.  It's been sat in workshop and only used occasionally.  However when I did use it I noticed a slight shock from the metal body.  I dismissed this as possible static from hose, it was a little disconcerting at times but I just lived with it for few times I used it.

I've just used it again for first time in a while and had no hose attached, again I was getting slight shock.  I disconnected it left it for a while and connected to a different outlet, again if I touch the body I get a shock, disconnected no shock.

It's not a massive jolt, more that you can just tell there is electricity flowing through your fingers.

I can't see this being normal, has anyone any pointers before I pull the thing apart.

Thanks

Dave

Please send you router to Festool for service. Period.
You are dealing with mains voltage and it is very dangerous to you and anyone else who might use your tool.
