Dust Extraction; Working With The Power Tool - Festool LHS-E 225 EQ Notice D'utilisation D'origine

Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control to ensure a uniform
sanding speed up to a certain load.
Overload protection
If the pressure becomes too high while working, the
power of the machine will be automatically reduced
to prevent overheating.
Speed control
You can regulate the speed steplessly within the
speed range using the adjusting wheel [1-7] (see
Technical data).
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material you are working on.
Overheating protection
Overheating protection is triggered when the pres-
sure is too high or the cool air openings are dirty.
The power tool beeps three times and switches off.
Let the power tool cool down for approx. 15 minutes
before using it again.
7.2 Replacing the sanding pad [5]
Observe the following instructions:
– An optimal work result can only be achieved us-
ing original accessories and consumables. The
use of non-original accessories or consumables
invalidates the right to claim under warranty.
– Only fit and remove the sanding pads using the
tool supplied.
– Make sure that both flat edges engage in the
opening on the sanding pad.
7.3 Changing the sanding discs [6]
Compatible StickFix sanding discs are quick and
easy to attach to the StickFix sanding pad.
CAUTION! The holes in the sanding disc
must be aligned with the holes in the sand-
ing pad. Otherwise, the suction power is im-
paired and there is more exposure to dust.
Do not use interface pads.
7.4 Sanding close to edges [7]
The removable brush segment means that the dis-
tance at the side between the wall/ceiling and the
sanding pad is reduced.
CAUTION! Without a brush segment, there
is more exposure to dust: Only remove it for
specific applications.
The brush segment is fitted in reverse order to the
process for removing it.

Dust extraction

WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
Always work with an extractor.
Comply with national regulations.
Wear a dust mask.
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm recom-
mended due to the reduced risk of clogging) can be
connected to the extractor connector [1-4].
Festool CTL/M 36 E AC P L A N E X mobile dust
extractors are adapted to the quantity of dust
generated and permanently ensure the neces-
sary suction power.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.

Working with the power tool

WARNING
Risk of injury
Do not hold the power tool by the sanding head.
Hold the power tool with both hands using the
gripping surfaces [1-10].
To switch on the power tool, see Section 6.
Carefully place the sanding head onto the sand-
ing surface.
Perform the sanding work.
Do not apply too much pressure on the power
tool as this will cause overloading. The best
sanding results are achieved with moderate ap-
plication pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on selecting the cor-
rect abrasive.
After finishing work
Once you have finished the sanding work, set
the power tool down.
CAUTION! Do not set the power tool down
with the sanding head facing downwards –
always lay it on the floor so that it is on its
side with the brush ring facing down. Other-
wise the sanding pad could be deformed.
To protect the sanding pad and the sanding
head, always transport and store the power tool
in the accompanying carry bag without the
sanding discs.
