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 (I = On / 0
= Off). 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
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.
Sanding dust is extracted through the extraction
channels in the sanding pad directly to the mate-
rial removal point.
a) Inboard extraction
The machines are fi tted with inboard extraction as
standard. The turbo-fi lter (1.6) has to be changed
when it is so full of dust that the extraction power
diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-fi lter
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (1.5) onto
the retaining strip of the fi lter holder
- Insert the front cardboard section with seal-
ing lip onto the extraction adapter on the fi lter
holder (1.7),
- Push the fi lter holder with its opening (1.3) as
far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (1.9)
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob (1.9).
To prevent dust from escaping from the turbo fi lter
during transport, seal off the extraction opening
by turning the fl ap (1.4).
b) 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 inboard extraction. In this case,
the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm) of the extraction
unit is connected to the suction nozzle (1.3).
4.2

Sanding pad

The standard Stickfi x sanding pad for Stickfi x
abrasives can be replaced with a sanding pad for
clamping abrasives. Unscrew the six screws (2.1)
to do this.
Both sanding pads (with and without Stickfi x coat-
ing) are also available with a side edge protector
to prevent the sanding base from degrading pre-
maturely when sanding corners.
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
"www.festool.com".
4.3

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).
- Replace the Stickfi x sanding pad with a sanding
pad for abrasives for clamping,
- Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the two
clamping devices (1.10, 3.2). 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.

Auxiliary handle

The auxiliary handle (3.1) can be set to different
positions. To do this, pull the handle forwards, turn
it to the desired position and release it again.
