Attaching sand-

Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening

the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop
abrasives such as Stickfi x sandpapers
and sanding cloths.

5.1
Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the sand-
ing pad (5.2) and pull it off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not
been damaged by improper use (such as
over heating).
Always use original Festool sand-
ing materials!
Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece
in such a manner that it cannot move while
being sanded.
Never overload the tool by using
too much pressure! The best sanding results
are achieved when applying moderate pres-
sure.
The sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding
material. Festool offers the appropriate sand-
ing material for all applications (see Festool
catalogue).
