Thread: Festo Jigsaw

You can repair it very easily yourself.

Every part is available from any Festool dealer and you can look up absolutely everything here: EKAT-Service - online

Sawing --> Jigsaw --> PS2E and choose from the three sub models.

They include very good explosion diagrams and prices.

any ideas on diagnosing the faulty parts ? . . I'm happy to give it a go , but a repair manual or troubleshooting guide would definitely help get it right .

Not sure how wise it is to be advising unlicensed people who may or may not have any experience in the area (judging by the "how to I find the dead part" post, I'm going to guess not) to repair their own power tools. Should something go catastrophically wrong, you might find yourself in deep legal trouble.

240v is not a toy, if you don't know what you're doing, find someone licenced who does.

Yes, thanks for that advice. . I was going to do just that.
That was why I asked originally who was best to see about a repair, and about parts etc.

yeah, I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking more of a place to get the appropriate parts.

perhaps I was thinking of a better time. People don't learn these things any more and electricity is treated like magic or a black box mystery. Everything is CYA and blame allocation. It makes me sad. As a kid I was fully expected to know, appreciate and use/invent using electricity. Licensing and authorised repairers have dumbed us down as a society.

You were right to point it out though.

From memory, you could send this in to Festool. They will give you a quote to repair, and perhaps there might be a charge to analyse and provide that quote, which is then deducted from the repair if you choose to go ahead with it.

It might be worth giving their Service department a call, often times, with model number and fault description, I've found good repair places can usually ballpark what is wrong, and then give you an idea of cost to repair.
