7 Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding materials!
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and
Stickfi x sanding felt can be fastened quickly and
easily onto the Stickfi x sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material (1.7) is
simply pressed onto the sanding base (1.8) and
held safely in place by the Stickfi x sanding base
velcro surface. After use, the StickFix sandpa-
per is simply pulled off.
8 Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using too much
pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure. The sanding per-
formance and quality depend mainly on the
choice of the right sanding material. Festool
offers the appropriate accessories, sanding and
polishing attachments for every application. The
accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet un-
der ”www.festool.com”.

9 Sanding base brakes
The sanding base is braked by a collar (2.6)
in order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive
speed of the sanding base.
Because the collar wears down in the course of
time, it has to be replaced by a new one (order
no. 489 190) as soon as there is any reduction
in the braking effect.
10 Maintenance and care
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before car-
rying out any work on the machi-
ne!
The cooling air vents on the motor housing
must always be free of blockages and clean to
ensure air circulation.
Any maintenance or repair work requiring the
motor housing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorised service workshop.
