MIDI takes Maine

[Sam Murdoch]

Took the Midi out of the truck today after a sub zero º night. Plugged in my ETS 150/3 for a little sanding. Finished up, unplugged the sander and while I  was putting the sander back in its systainer the still powered Midi set on auto, starts up  [blink]. I shut it off then set it back to auto and it starts up again.  I'm
guessing that this has something to do with the very cold unit [unsure]. Ten minutes later I plugged it back in and sure enough, still on auto with no tool plugged in, the Midi started up again, but this time after about 15 seconds it eased into shut down. Funny huh? Just thought I'd share. Should we be concerned? Are the Festools learning to think for themselves  [scared] ?

Was there a Skynet terminal nearby?  [poke] [big grin]

 

[Sam Murdoch]

NO! but we have WiFi and I was listening to my internet radio [scratch chin].

Undocumented feature.
Just trying to keep itself warm.

That's pretty scary.  I'd better turn on the heat in my shop.  Come to think of it, you know, the other day I thought I heard my OF1400 humming an old song... [eek]

Got my Midi trained to clean the shop when I leave!
Remember, be nice to your tools. They do bite back.
See, this is why Brice buffs and polishes his tools to keep them happy!  [big grin]

So Sam, Any update , still have the problem?  Seems like a problem with the switch to me. If so try 800-554-8741 Festool service.

No problems today.  I really do think it was just a cold issue. The switch was replaced with an upgrade just about a year ago.
I kept it inside last night and used it today for a good amount of time and all was well, but as a precaution I did wear my aluminum foil hat today  [wink]!

Some clever responses posted here. It's been fun  [big grin].
