Does using the portable router requires an induction?

Hello,

My question is basically the title itself and I’d like to check as i’m unsure.
Does using the portable router requires an induction first?

Kindly,
Jeanne

It needs an Assessment as per Hand Held Router - Festool OF 1400 EBQ (Basically an induction but more ad-hoc).

Super helpful, thank you Paul!
@lamacchiacosta should I ask when you are available for an induction sometime this week/ weekend, or should I wait for the next time you announced a hand router induction? Let me know, thanks!

Thank you for the link, I’ll go through it ahead of the next induction, thanks Tom!

Hi Jeanne,
I am away at the moment but we could organise an induction around the 17th of September and that week end.

Hi Emanuele,
Thank you for your reply! Yes I could do the Saturday 19th at whatever time suits you best

I’ll keep you updated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Please be aware we will mostly cover safety, so please bring mandatory steel toe booths and your own mask. You will find goggles and ear protection at the makerspace.

Can I join the session too?

Hi Emanuele, I have steel toe boots back home in Northampton so I’ll have to wait end of the month to pick them up. I believe I cannot do the induction without them for now? I understand it is a safety measure so I thought I’d ask just in case.

I am afraid we have to delay the induction until all the mandatory ppe equipment will be in place.

Yes, you surely can. I am organising the induction with another member and you are welcome to join. PPE mandatory equipment appl to anyone in order to go ahead with the induction.

Please DM to arrange a date, which will probably will the 19th, morning.

Alright, in this case I’ll post another message to set up another induction when I’ll have the steel boots with me this time.
Thank you!
