You can connect a Festool extractor with an extrac-
tor hose diameter of 27 mm to the dust extraction
port (4.2).
The extraction adapter (4.3) can be removed if nec-
essary. To do this, press the locking button (4.1),
draw the extraction adapter backwards and pull
off. To reattach the extraction adapter, insert it as
shown in Fig. 4 and slide it towards the sanding
pad until the locking button (4.1) latches into place.

Edge protector

The edge protector (5.1) prevents the sanding pad
from touching the edge perpendicular to a surface
(e.g. when sanding along a wall), thereby preventing
the machine from rebounding.
Assembly: Slide the edge protector onto the ma-
chine until it latches into place.

Sanding motion

You can use the switch (6.1) to set two different
sanding motions.
The change from eccentric motion
(fi ne sanding) to Rotex rotary motion (coarse sand-
ing) can only be made when the sanding pad is
stationary, as the switch is locked in place during
operation for reasons of safety.
Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding, polishing)
The Rotex rotary motion is a combination of
rotary and eccentric motions. This motion
is recommended for sanding with aggres-
sive material removal (coarse sanding) and
polishing.
Slide the switch (6.1) into the right position.
Eccentric motion (fi ne sanding)
This motion is recommended for sanding
with low material removal for a scratch-free
fi nish (fi ne sanding).
Press the switch (6.1) downwards and push it into
the left-hand position.
Choice and installa-
tion of sanding pads
The tool can be fi tted with three sanding pads of
different hardnesses depending on the surface to
be sanded.
Hard: Coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding at
edges.
