I’m new to festool and have had lots of issues. While sanding,vibration causes the power chord to pop off. I’ve tried twisting,pushing, manipulating. Occurs on high power, so I am forced to hold the chord in place. Does not seem right. What’s the trick? Thanks.
Welcome to the forum.
My guess is that you are the problem.
Do you only have two hands when three are required?
On my Festool RO150FEQ the detachable AC power cord has a ¼ turn twist lock retention to the tool.
The original receptacle on the tool had horrible retention, like you described. I disassembled the tool and swapped that receptacle and all has been good for many years.
