Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
► Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
► Always read applicable national regula­
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
Integral dust extractor with long-life dust bag
As standard, the sanders are equipped with an
integral dust extractor. The sanding dust is ex­
tracted through extraction openings in the
sanding pad and is collected in the dust bag.
Installing the dust bag [4]
Slide the dust bag adapter onto the extractor
connection piece.
Slide the dust bag onto the adapter until it
clicks into place.
If the suction power is decreasing, empty
the dust bag.
Press the dust bag onto the actuating ele­
ments.
Remove the dust bag by moving it towards
the rear.
Open the flap on the dust bag.
Empty the dust bag and dispose of the waste.
Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex­
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust
bag when carrying out sanding work for a long
period of time, you can connect Festool's mo­
bile dust extractor (with an extraction hose di­
ameter of 27 mm) to the extractor connection
piece [1-4].
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.
7.5 Edge protector [5]
The edge protector [1-6] reduces contact of the
sanding pad circumference with a surface (e.g.
when sanding along a wall or a window), thus
preventing back-kick of the machine, or ma­
chine damage.
8 Working with the electric
power tool
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
machined.
Observe the following information:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing
with excessive force! The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding performance
and quality are mainly dependent on the
selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with one hand by the
handle [1-9] to ensure safe guidance.
For sanding, we recommend the following set­
tings for the adjusting wheel [1-3]:
Sanding work
– Sanding with max. abrasion
– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered sur­
face prior to paintwork
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on
surfaces
– Sanding thinly applied undercoat
– Sanding wood with sanding cloth
– Edge breaking on wooden parts
– Smoothing primed wooden surfaces
– Sanding solid wood and veneered
edges
– Sanding rebate of windows and doors
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork at
edges
– Light sanding of natural wood win­
dows using sanding cloth
– Smoothing wooden surfaces using
sanding cloth before staining
– Rubbing stained surfaces with a
sanding cloth
– Rubbing or removing excess lime­
stone residue using sanding cloth
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on
stained surfaces
– Cleaning natural wood window re­
