Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.
Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
Switch (1.1) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On / 0
= Off). It may be latched with the locking knob on
the side (3.1) for continuous operation. Pressing
the switch again releases the lock.
Always switch the machine off before con-
necting or disconnecting the mains lead!
See Fig. 4 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1

Dust extraction

Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor. Dust extractors prevent large
accumulations of dust in the air in the
working environment and dirt collecting
at the workplace.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.2).
Sanding dust is extracted through the extraction
channels in the sanding pad directly to the mate-
rial removal point.
Opening the bypass (2.1/2.2) to allow air to enter
prevents the machine from sticking to fl at sur-
faces when processing workpieces. The further
you open the bypass, the more air is drawn in.
4.2

Attaching sanding material

Always use original Festool sanding ma-
terials!
Stickfi x abrasives
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper
and Stickfi x sanding felt can be fastened
quickly and easily onto the Stickfi x sand-
ing pad.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base and held safely in
place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
After use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply pulled
off.
Abrasives to clamp
Festool offers perforated abrasives to
clamp.
Unperforated abrasives can be perforated with
the „Lochfi x" (accessory).
- Before affi xing any abrasives, attach a Stickfi x
abrasive sheet to the sanding pad fi rst so that
the adhesive coating on the Stickfi x sanding pad
is not damaged.
- Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the two
clamping devices (1.3/1.4). Press the levers to
release the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure the
abrasive paper is taut and sits fl at on the
sanding pad.

Auxiliary handle

The auxiliary handle (1.5) can be attached for tasks
where the front edge of the sanding pad sands up
to edges.
5 Instructions on application
Never overload the tool by using too much pres-
sure! The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure. The sanding perfor-
mance and quality depend mainly on the choice
of the right sanding material.
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.
