Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures jolt-free startup.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
3,300 and 6,800 rpm using the adjusting wheel
(3.1). This lets you optimize the sanding speed to
suit the material.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the tool is in operation or in neutral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switch the tool off when it reaches a critical motor
temperature. Let the tool cool down for approx. 3-5
minutes before using it again. The tool requires
less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral
position.
Tool settings
Always remove the power plug from
the socket before carrying out any work on the
power tool.
Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust ex-
tractor when performing work that gener-
ates dust.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an extrac-
tor hose diameter of 27 mm to the dust extraction
port (4.2).
The extraction adapter (4.3) can be removed if nec-
essary. To do this, press the locking button (4.1),
draw the extraction adapter backwards and pull
off. To reattach the extraction adapter, insert it as
shown in Fig. 4 and slide it towards the sanding
pad until the locking button (4.1) latches into place.
Edge protector
The edge protector (5.1) prevents the sanding pad
from touching the edge perpendicular to a surface
(e.g. when sanding along a wall), thereby preventing
the machine from rebounding.
Assembly: Slide the edge protector onto the ma-
chine until it latches into place.
