Working With The Machine; Service And Maintenance; Sanding Pad Brake; Accessories - Festool ROTEX RO 90 DX FEQ Notice D'utilisation D'origine

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 win-
dow), thus preventing back-kick of the ma-
chine, or machine damage.

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 excessive force! The best sanding re-
sults are achieved with moderate applica-
tion pressure. The sanding capacity and
quality are mainly dependent on the selec-
tion of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on
the motor housing and one on the gear
head.
Tables A and B show the settings we rec-
ommend for different sanding and polish-
ing work.

Service and maintenance

WARNING

quires the motor housing to be opened

To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the motor
housing clean and free of blockages.
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn, 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 uncontrolled 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

Only use original sanding and polishing pads
from Festool. Low-quality sanding and pol-
ishing pads may cause serious machine im-
balance that decreases the quality of the
working results and increases machine wear.
The order numbers of the accessories and
tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or
on the Internet under "www.festool.com".
11 Environment
Do not throw the power tool in your house-
hold waste! Dispose of machines, accesso-
ries and packaging at an environmentally re-
sponsible recycling centre. Observe the valid
national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC
stipulates that used electric power tools must
be collected separately and disposed of at an
environmentally responsible recycling cen-
tre.
