At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm can be connected.
7.8 Edge protector [9]
The edge protector [1-1] reduces contact of the
sanding pad circumference with a surface (e.g.
when sanding along a wall or a window), thus pre-
venting back-kick of the machine, or machine dam-
age.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury

Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being machined.
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.
 Tables A and B show the settings we recom-
mend for different sanding and polishing work.

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and
free of any obstruction.
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn out, the power is inter-
rupted automatically and the machine comes to a
standstill.
9.1

Sanding pad brake

The rubber collar [10-1] on the sanding pad and the
stop ring [10-2] on the machine prevent uncon-
trolled excessive turning of the sanding pad during
eccentric motion (fine sanding). As these parts are
subject to wear in the course of time, they must be
replaced when reduced braking force is observed
(for order no., see spare parts list).

Accessories

Use only original Festool sanding pads. Low-quality
sanding and polishing pads may cause serious ma-
chine imbalances that decrease the quality of the
work results and increase wear on the power tool.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool.com".
