New OF 1010 - sticky trigger

[jarbroen]

Just tried out my brand new OF 1010 and the trigger is very clunky with a long plunge - gritty - and the lock button doesn't always release when the trigger is squeezed.
I've had the OF 1400 for a few years and it has a great trigger.  Very smooth, reasonable pull distance and the lock will release with just the slightest tap.  Which is very important for safety reasons.

What I'm wondering is if this is normal for the 1010 and I'm just picky after the 1400?  Or is this not typical and I should swap/send it back?

I also noticed a few minor annoyances from the design that I could get used to, but the trigger thing could be a deal breaker.

Thanks!

Mine doesn't do that.  I don't have a 1400 to compare with, but it works like I would expect.  The lock button always releases.

Suggest you call Festool service in the morning.
