Attaching sanding material

Always use original Festool sanding ma-
terials!
Stickfix abrasives
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper
and Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened
quickly and easily onto the Stickfix sand-
ing pad.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base and held safely in
place by the Stickfix 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 „Lochfix" (accessory).
- Replace the Stickfix sanding pad with a sanding
pad for abrasives for clamping,
- Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the
two clamping devices. Press the levers (1.12) to
release the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure the
abrasive paper is taut and sits flat on the
sanding pad.

Auxiliary handle

The auxiliary handle (1.13) can be attached for
tasks where the front edge of the sanding pad
sands up to edges.

8 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
The cool air openings in the motor casing must
always be kept clean and unobstructed to ensure
air circulation.
All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor casing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorised service centre.
The tool is fitted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
