Hi all.
All of my Festool products have been extremely reliable over the years. The only exception is the RTS400. My first one started running slow after what, in my opinion, was an unacceptably low number of hours usage.
I purchased another and after just over a year it developed the same problem. I was repaired under warranty and was seldom used. Recently it started doing the same thing.
I suspect that it might be related to the circuitry on the speed control PCB. Rather than buying a replacement PCB and discovering that it wasn't that which was faulty, can I just take the switched live in, disconnect it from the PCB and plug it straight in the armature coil? If I can and the machine runs at full speed, I will then purchase a new PCB.
Thanks in advance
