Failure of motor and sanding disc/pad to communicate. Anyone else had this happen and possible reasons? I have sent it in for further investigation to a nearby independent repair shop who repairs Festool, as its way out of warranty.
I sent mine to Festool earlier in the year because it wouldn't change from rotary to ROS mode and back. They cheerfully fixed it for a reasonable sum way out of warranty. I bought the tool in about 2005.
Ah, sorry...I missed your location, my friend. But yes, I have had good experiences with Festool USA's service over the years, although have rarely needed it. Like twice.
