Festool RAS 180 E Notice D'utilisation D'origine page 15

Vibration emission value a
directions) and uncertainty K measured in accord-
ance with EN 60745:
Sanding:
The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary es-
timates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.
Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!

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 spe-
cifi cations on the machine's name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
a voltage specifi cation of 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
The tool is fi tted with an on/off switch [1-1] with
switch-on lock [1-2]. Press the switch-on lock
to release the switch. Pressing and holding the
switch-on lock briefl y after the machine starts
locks the switch while the motor is running. The
motor switches off when you press the on/off
switch again.
Attaching the additional handle
The additional handle (1-5) can be secured on ei-
ther the right or left side of the gear head on the
rotary sander.
Attaching extraction hood AH-RAS D 180
The extraction hood can only be used in combina-
tion with sanding pads STF D 180 and 2F D 180.
Remove the two Allen screws [2-1 and 2-6] from
the bearing cover on the machine fi rst of all.
 Push the extraction hood onto the machine
fl ange and secure the hood with the two Allen
screws [2-2].

performing any type of work on the machine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics with
the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly
between 800 and 4200 rpm using the adjusting
wheel [1-4].
The following table serves as a guideline to help
you select the best electronics setting for the work-
ing material. The transition between each speed
setting is smooth.
Processed material
Working procedure
Sanding off dry,
cracked paint
Sanding paint that "smears"
Sanding thin layers of varnish
Removing anti-fouling coats
Sanding hard GRP parts
Sanding thermoplastics
Sanding wood
Cleaning sandstone, concrete,
shuttering material
Removing rust from painted
metal parts
( ) = suitable to a limited extent
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uniform
cutting speed even when under strain.
Overload safety device
In extreme applications, the current consumption
may far exceed the permitted nominal value. A
"safety coupling" integrated in an electronic over-
load safety device switches off the motor and pre-
vents it from burning out. Motor operation resumes
immediately after the load is relieved.
