5.5 Securing polishing attachments
To prevent damage, PoliStick polishing attach-
ments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets) may
only be used on the special polishing pad that is
fi tted on the machine instead of a sanding pad. In
the same way as the StickFix abrasives, the Poli-
Stick polishing attachments are simply pressed
onto the polishing pad and pulled off after use.
5.6 Dust
extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.4).
5.7 Edge
protector
The edge protector (4.1) prevents the sanding pad
from touching the edge perpendicular to a surface
(e.g. when sanding along a wall), thereby prevent-
ing the machine from rebounding.
Assembly
Slide the edge protector onto the machine until it
latches into place (see Fig. 4).
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
worked.
For safe guidance, hold the machine with one
hand on the motor housing (1.3) and one hand on
the gear head (1.8).
Never overload the tool by using too much pres-
sure! 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.
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend
for different sanding and polishing work.
6.1 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
7 Accessories, tools
For your own safety, use only original
Festool accessories and spare parts.
Festool offers the appropriate accessories, sand-
ing and polishing attachments for every applica-
tion.
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
”www.festool.com”.
8 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
The cool air openings in the motor casing must
always be kept clean and unobstructed to ensure
air circulation.
The tool is fi tted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
9 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of the machine, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre! Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
