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 ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.

Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm can be connected.
Recommendation: Use anti-static extractor hose!
This helps reduce the electric charge.
For machines with electronics systems, we recom-
mend the following settings for the adjusting wheel
