during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with
other insertion tools or if not maintained adequat-
ely. Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to the
specifi cation on the rating plate.
Switch (1.2) serves as an On/Off switch. It may be
latched with the locking knob on the side (1.1) for
continuous operation. Pressing the switch again
releases the lock.
Always switch the machine off before con-
necting or disconnecting the mains lead!
See Fig. 2 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
4 Electronics
The LS 130 EQ has an electronic control
with which the rotational speed can be
varied step-free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to the
optimum level according to the material concerned
(see “Working with the machine“).
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(1.3).
5 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug from
the socket before carrying out any work on
the machine.
5.1 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor when performing work that
generates dust.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.4).
5.2 Changing the sanding pad
In order to be able to sand various profi les, Festool
offers shaped sanding pads. These sanding pads
can be changed quickly and easily without tools.
Removing the sanding pad (Fig. 3)
- Push the sanding pad forwards (e.g. by pressing
the rear edge of the sanding pad against a fl at
surface),
- keep the sanding pad pressed forwards and
swivel the front edge of the sanding pad away
from the tool,
- release the pressure slightly, remove the sanding
pad from the rear.
The new sanding pad is fi tted in the reverse order.
Make sure that the four lugs (3.1) of the sanding
base catch in the four recesses (3.2) in the sand-
ing pad.
To ensure a better grip of the sanding pad on the
sanding base of the LS 130 EQ you can fasten the
sanding pad in the four holes in the corners (1.7)
using the enclosed screws. These screws have to
be removed before exchanging sanding pads.
5.3 Attaching sanding material
For your own safety, use only original Fes-
tool accessories and spare parts.
Self-adhesive abrasives such as Stickfi x
sandpaper and sanding fl eeces can be
attached to Stickfi x sanding shoes.
The abrasives (1.5) are simply pressed onto the
sanding shoe (1.6) and pulled off after use.
6 Working with the machine
Never overload the tool by using too much
pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when apply-
ing moderate pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on the choice of the right
sanding material.
Festool offers the appropriate accessories, sanding
and polishing attachments for every application.
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
Speed adjustment
We recommend the following settings on the rotary
control (1.3) for electronic tools:
Rotary control setting
- sanding work
3 - 6
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces
