Sounds like a problem with the electronics that regulate rpm. Best give Festool service department a call.

First of all you might have a bad receptacle on your vac ( I did and fixed it with a new part the service guys kindly shipped me overnight. You might check that the cord is locked into the tool and that some cords have thicker wires than others. Also see if it does this without the tool plugged into the vac. If you can identify the cause (the planer load?) then you know it's the harness or the connections in the plugs. try a different tool and see if it happens. . . Just some random thoughts. I now only buy power cords of the lower (thicker gauge/wire) after burning out a cord and socket on my ETS after using two days 8 hours straight with it locked in position.

To comment on a different thread: I agree that Festool/Tooltec needs to be more flexible with allowing customers to order thicker power cords and bigger hoses when purchasing tools. Some mail order distributors are very helpful with this in the US. ..
