Festool DTS 400 Q - Manual (Page 5)

Always use original Festool sanding
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 pressure.
The sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding material.
Festool offers the appropriate sanding material for
all applications (see Festool catalogue).
We recommend the following settings on the ro-
tary control (2.1) for electronic machines:
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces

- sanding of thinly applied primer
- sanding of wood with sanding vlies
- sanding edges on wooden parts
- smoothing primed wooden surfaces.

- sanding full wooden and veneer edges
- sanding in the grooves/rebates of windows and
doors

- pre-sanding natural wood windows with sanding
vlies

vlies

with sanding vlies

Maintenance and care
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying out any work
on the machine!
Any maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened may
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
The cooling air vents on the motor housing must
always be free of blockages and clean to ensure
air circulation.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use original
Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be
found in the Festool catalog or on the Internet
under www.festool-usa.com.
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This provides
protection and storage for the tool and acces-
sories. The Systainers are stackable and can be
interlocked together. They also can be interlocked
atop Festool CT dust extractors.

- Place one systainer on top of the other.
- Release all four latches on the lower systainer
by pulling back at their top edges (6.1).
- Slide all four latches upward (6.2).
- Snap all four latches back to their fl at position
(6.3) so they engage the stacking tabs of the
upper systainer.
