To ensure a better grip of the sanding pad on the
sanding base of the LS 130 EQ you can fasten the
sanding pad in the four holes in the corners [1.7]
using the enclosed screws. These screws have to
be removed before exchanging sanding pads.

Attaching sanding material

The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and Stickfix

pressed onto the sanding base [1.6] and held safely
in place by the Stickfix sanding base velcro surface.

all applications (see Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under www.festoolusa.com).
