Hi,
I'm new to the forum and festool but am rapidly changing all my tools to festool.
Just have a question i was hoping some of you cxs owners could answer. I recently brought a new cxs and find its really not driving screws in far at all. I understand it has electric auto stop to not over stress the motor but i find in gear two its struggling to drive a 3.5 x 40mm screws into 18mm mdf. As its struggling the motor shuts down then after about 5 screws like that the light will just flash when i pull the trigger and i have to change the battery. Is this normal??
So now i'm just using it on kitchen installs and even hanging kitchen doors using 15mm screws i find its putting more stress on my forearms arms causing my longterm issue of tendonities to come back. I understand its only 10.8v but after years of using a small Hitachi 10volt i find the cxs to have less power then a real cheap Hitachi version.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
