materials and the grinding material is hot after
long periods of work.
– Always use original Festool sanding pads. For-
eign pads are not suitable for the speed of the
sander and may break.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check for
damage to the machine and sanding pad. Re-
move the sanding pad for closer inspection. Re-
pair damaged parts before using again. Broken
sanding pads and damaged machines can cause
injuries and machine instability.
Mixed dust containing metal and sanding
damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such as
dust resulting from paint sanding in the au-
tomotive field) and when sanding damp sur-
faces, the following measures must be ob-
served for reasons of safety:
– Install a residual-current circuit breaker (GFCI,
PRCD) upstream.
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of the ma-
chine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.
The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plas-
tic, composite, paint/varnish, filler and similar ma-
terials as directed. With mixed dust containing met-
al (such as dust resulting from paint sanding in the
automotive industry) and when sanding damp sur-
faces, special safety instructions must be followed.

amples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
