Special safety instructions for fine sanding
- Do not use excessively large sanding discs when
fi ne sanding. Observe the specifi cations of the
manufacturer when selecting abrasive discs.
A sanding disc that is too large and protrudes
over the sanding pad represents a cutting injury
hazard and can cause catching, disc tears or
kickbacks.
Additional warning notes
- Hold the machine fi rmly with both hands and
assume a stable stance when performing work.
Hold the machine with both hands to guide more
securely.
- If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust is
produced during sanding, the processing in-
structions of the material manufacturer must
be observed under all circumstances.
- Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types
of wood and metal). Contact with these dusts,
especially inhaling them, can represent a hazard
for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to a
suitable extraction system. To protect your health,
wear a P2 protective mask.
- Never use machines with a damaged cable. Do
not touch damaged cables and pull the plug
from the mains power supply if the cable be-
comes damaged during work. Damaged cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
- Use a maximum of two extension pipes on the
machine.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745
are typically:
Sound pressure level
82 dB(A)
Noise level 93 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
CAUTION
The noise produced during work may damage
your hearing.
•
Wear ear protection!
Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three direc-
tions) measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission level
(3-axis)
a
h
< 2.5 m/s 2
Uncertainty K = 3 m/s²
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If the
electric power tool is used for other applications,
with other tools or is not maintained suffi ciently
prior to operation, however, the vibration and noise
load may be higher when the tool is used. Take into
account any machine idling times and downtimes
to estimate these values more accurately for a
specifi ed time period. This may signifi cantly reduce
the load during the machine operating period.

WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
- The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the speci-
fi cations on the machine’s name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
voltage specifi cations of 120 V may be used.
The switch [5-2] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 = OFF).
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable
