Attaching sanding
material
Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening
system. Stickfi x sanding pads allow
the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop
abrasives such as Stickfi x sandpapers
and sanding cloths.

Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the
sanding base (5.2) and pull it off again after
use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not
been damaged by improper use (such as over-
heating).
Always use original Festool
sanding materials!

Working with the tool

Always secure the workpiece
in such a manner that it cannot move while
being sanded.
Never overload the tool by
using too much pressure! 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. Festool offers the appropriate
sanding material for all applications (see
Festool catalogue).
