Service And Maintenance; Accessories - Festool RTS 400 REQ Notice D'utilisation D'origine

Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Work in corners and on edges tends to subject
the tip to increased stress and results in in-
creased heat development. In such cases, work
with reduced contact pressure.
– Hold the machine with one hand on the handle
[1-9].
For sanding, we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel [1-3]:

– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered surface
prior to paintwork
