Setting And Adjusting The Speed; Extractor Signal; Replacing The Sanding Pad [3] - Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ Guide D'utilisation

Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con-
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tempera-
ture. If the temperature continues to rise, the pow-
er tool switches off and can only be switched on
again once the motor has cooled sufficiently.

Setting and adjusting the speed

The speed can be set [1-6] between 6000 and
-1
10000 min using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter Working with the ma-
chine).

Extractor signal

The electronic extractor signal detects whether an
extractor hose is connected at the power tool. Upon
activation the power tool can only be switched on
with a connected extractor hose.
Switching the extractor signal ON/OFF
The extractor signal is supplied in a deactivated
state.
Switch on power tool by briefly pressing the ON/

OFF button [1-1].
Switch off the power tool again and hold down

the ON/OFF button [1-1].
Power tool beeps once.
Turn speed control [1-2] to both end positions

(Level 1 and 6).
Power tool beeps three times for ON and twice
for OFF.
Release ON/OFF button [1-1].

Extractor signal is activated or deactivated.
The operating mode is indicated via the LED [1-6]:
Permanent light: Extractor
hose is connected
Flashing light: No extractor
hose connected, power tool
cannot be switched on.
No light: Extractor signal is
not active.

Replacing the sanding pad [3]

An optimal work result can only be achieved
using original accessories and consumables.
The use of non-original accessories or con-
sumables invalidates the right to claim un-
der warranty.
Warning! Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the ma-
chine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
Health risk: Fitting sanding pads of incorrect
size causes excessive vibration of the ma-
chine.

Tuned to the surface being processed, the machine
can be equipped with three sanding pads of differ-
ent hardnesses.
Hard: Coarse and fine sanding on surfaces. Sand-
ing edges.
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.
