7.6 Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard

Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.

Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
The power tool does not have its own extractor unit.
At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm should be connected.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.
8 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.

tor housing and one on the gear head.
