Inboard Extraction - Festool ETS 150/3 EQ Notice D'utilisation D'origine

4 Electrical connection and operation
The mains voltage must correspond with
the voltage on the rating plate!
Switch (1.2) is an on/off switch. For continuous use
it can be engaged with the lateral locking button
(1.3). Pressing the switch again releases the lock.
Only ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/5 EQ: See Fig. 3 for
connection and disconnection of the power cable.
5 Electronic control
The ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/3 E, ETS 150/5
EQ, ETS 150/5 E 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 Chapter 9). The speed is set using the rotary
control button (1.1).
6 Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accu-mu-
lations of dust in the air in the working
environment and dirt collecting in the
workplace.
6.1

Inboard extraction

The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction as
standard. The sanding dust is extracted through
suction openings in the sanding base (1.13) and
trapped in the turbo-fi lter (1.5).The turbo-fi lter
has to be changed when it is so full of dust that the
extraction power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-fi lter
- Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-
fi lter with the sealing lip (1.4) onto the extraction
nozzle (1.9) of the fi lter holder
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (1.6) onto
the retaining strip (1.7) of the fi lter holder
- Push the fi lter holder with its opening (1.11) as
far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (1.12)
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob (1.10).
6.2 External extraction by an extraction
unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the
turbo-fi lter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is
possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit
instead of using inbuilt extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm (1.8))
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle (1.12).
7 Choice and installation of the sanding
disks
7.1 Choice of sanding disk
The appliance can be fi tted with three sanding disks
of different hardness depending on the surface to
be treated.
Hard: coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding at
edges.
Soft: universal for coarse and fi ne sanding, for fl at
and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: fi ne sanding on formed parts, curves,
radii. Do not use on edges!
7.2 Assembly
The sanding disks and the tool-holding fi xture on
the appliance are equipped with a positive holder
(2.1).
Make sure the sanding disk is correctly
positioned before screwing it tight.
For safety reasons, only use original Fes-
tool sanding disks!
8 Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding materials!
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and Stick-
fi x sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily
onto the Stickfi x sanding base. The self-adhesive
sanding material (1.14) is simply pressed onto the
sanding base (1.13) and held safely in place by the
Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface. After use, the
StickFix sandpaper is simply pulled off.
9 Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using too much
pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when ap-
plying moderate pressure. The ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS
150/3 E gives the best surface quality and low
abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ, ETS 150/5 E provides
high abrasion with good surface quality. The sand-
ing performance and quality depend mainly on
the choice of the right sanding material. Festool
offers the appropriate sanding material for all ap-
plications (seeFestool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool.com").
We recommend the following settings on the ro-
tary control (1.1) for electronic machines:
rotary control setting
- sanding work
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
