3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
Switch (1.1) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On / 0
= Off). It may be latched with the locking knob on
the side (3.1) for continuous operation. Pressing
the switch again releases the lock.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
lead!
See Fig. 4 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor. Dust extractors prevent large
accumulations of dust in the air in the
working environment and dirt collecting
at the workplace.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.2).
Sanding dust is extracted through the extraction
channels in the sanding pad directly to the mate-
rial removal point.
Opening the bypass (2.1/2.2) to allow air to enter
prevents the machine from sticking to fl at sur-
faces when processing workpieces. The further
you open the bypass, the more air is drawn in.
4.2 Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding ma-
terials!
Stickfi x abrasives
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper
and Stickfi x sanding felt can be fastened
quickly and easily onto the Stickfi x sand-
ing pad.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base and held safely in
place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
After use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply pulled
off.
Abrasives to clamp
Festool offers perforated abrasives to
clamp.
Unperforated abrasives can be perforated with
the „Lochfi x“ (accessory).
- Before affi xing any abrasives, attach a Stickfi x
abrasive sheet to the sanding pad fi rst so that
the adhesive coating on the Stickfi x sanding pad
is not damaged.
- Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the two
clamping devices (1.3/1.4). Press the levers to
release the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure the
abrasive paper is taut and sits fl at on the
sanding pad.
4.3 Auxiliary handle
The auxiliary handle (1.5) can be attached for tasks
where the front edge of the sanding pad sands up
to edges.
5 Instructions on application
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.
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 extrac-
tor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
6 Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material designed for this machine
because these system components are designed
specifi cally for the machine. Using accessories
and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your working
results and limit any warranty claims. Machine
wear or your own personal workload may increase
