Operation

WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency.
Risk of accidents
► The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond to the
specifications on the machine's name
plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
must be used.
CAUTION
Heating of the Plug it connection if bayonet
fitting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
► Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fitting at the mains
cable is closed fully and locked.
Connecting and detaching the mains power ca­
ble - see figure .
The switch [1-1] serves as an on/off switch (I =
ON, 0 = OFF).
If there is a power failure or the mains
plug is removed, move the on/off switch
immediately to the Off position. This pre­
vents uncontrolled restarting.

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing any work on the
machine.
7.1 Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if
the machine is used as intended (reasonable
14
contact pressure), a constant sanding speed is
achieved.
Setting the speed
The speed can be adjusted between 6000 and
12,000 rpm using the adjusting wheel [1-3].
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed
to suit the material you are working on (see
Section 8 ).
7.2 Replacing the sanding pad [3]
An optimal work result can only be ach­
ieved using original accessories and con­
sumables. The use of non-original accessories
or consumables invalidates the right to claim
under warranty.
Warning! Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the
machine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
Undo the four screws.
Remove the sanding pad by pulling it down­
wards.
Attach the new sanding pad.
Use four screws to tighten it by hand
(2.5 Nm).
Hardness of the sanding pad
Adapted to the surface being processed, the
machine can be equipped with sanding pads of
different hardnesses.
Soft: Universal for coarse and fine sanding, for
flat and convex surfaces.
Extra-soft: Fine sanding of moulded parts,
arches, radii. Do not use on edges.
7.3 Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix [3a]
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and sim­
ply to the StickFix sanding pad.
► Affix the self-adhesive sanding accessory to
the sanding pad.[1-5]
In the case of a weakening adhesive ef­
fect of the StickFix surface, the sanding
pad accessories, in particular those which are
not yet touching the workpiece, may come
loose from the sanding pad and cause injuries.
Replace the sanding pad!
