How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the control panel.

  • 1. Clean around buttons: Use a soft brush and dry cloth to remove dust from around the buttons. Do not use solvents.
  • 2. Open control panel: Carefully separate the control panel cover to access the keypad or button board. Inspect for dust buildup or corrosion.
  • 3. Inspect PCB and domes: Look for cracked solder joints or damaged metal domes under the buttons. If the membrane is worn or torn, it must be replaced.
  • 4. Replace keypad assembly: Install a new Festool control panel or keypad PCB if individual button repair is not practical.
