Some good nuggets of information in that recent discussion
A google search produced this in AI Mode:
"Festool made a signi!cant change to their power tool switches around late 2016 and early 2017 , primarily to comply with updated safety regulations. The speci!c change related to the addition of a No Voltage Relay (NVR) function in the switches of certain corded tools, particularly the routers (like the OF 1400 and OF 2200) and dust extractors (CT series).
Details of the Switch Change
Reason for Change: The update was implemented to meet new ce"I!cation requirements (a switch from the CSA to the MET certification scheme in the US). These regulations mandated that tools used in a table or with a remote switch must not automatically restart after a power interruption (such as unplugging from a remote switch or a power outage).
Functionality:
Older Switches (Pre-2017): The switches could be locked in the "ON" position. If power was interrupted and then restored, the tool would turn on immediately, posing a potential safety hazard, especially when used in a router table.
Newer Switches (2017 onwards): The updated switches feature an NVR (or equivalent safety mechanism). When locked in the "ON" position, if power is interrupted, the switch disconnects the circuit and the user must manually turn the switch "OFF" and then "ON" again to restart the tool.
Impact on Users: This change primarily affected users who mounted tools, such as the OF 1400 or OF 2200 routers, in a CMS router table and used a separate remote power switch. The integrated NVR in both the tool and the table sometimes caused conflicts or required a specific power-on sequence."
