Use for intended purpose
As specifi ed, the machines are designed for
sanding wood, plastic, metal, stone, composite,
paintwork, fi ller and similar materials.
Material containing asbestos must not be pro-
cessed with these tools.
The user is liable for damage and injury
resulting from incorrect usage!

Before starting up, please observe
the following
2.1
Safety
Before using the machine, please read
the enclosed safety instructions.
- The manufacturer's handling and processing
instructions must be observed without fail if
explosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to
occur during sanding.
- If dust dangerous to health is produced during
sanding, the machine should be connected
to an appropriate extraction device and the
safety regulations that apply to the working
material should be observed.
- The operating pressure should not exceed 6.5
bar.
- The machine should only be operated with
sandpaper. Grinding wheels and parting grin-
der discs are not permitted.
- Only work with correctly processed com-
pressed air. Using the Festool service unit VE
guarantees this.
- Only use original Festool accessories.
- Wear suitable protection such
as ear protection, safety go-
ggles, a dust mask for work
which generates dust, and
protective gloves when wor-
king with raw materials and
when changing tools.

Compressed-air supply and com-
missioning
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is
switched off when you connect the
compressed-air supply.
3.1
Compressed-air processing
The Festool service unit should always be used
to ensure that Festool pneumatic tools function
correctly.
Consisting of a fi lter, control unit, condensation
drain and lubricator, the service unit cleans and
lubricates the compressed air and keeps it free
of condensation.
Here, the lubricator should be set so that a drop
is applied to the compressed air approx. every
7-10 minutes.
Damage that occurs as a result of incorrect
compressed-air processing is excluded from
warranty claims.
We recommend a service unit with a 3/8" con-
nector, when up to two Festool pneumatic tools
are used.
A compressor that supplies at 500 l/min and at
an operating pressure of 6 bar should be used
to supply compressed-air.
The diameter of the piping system must be
suffi ciently large (at least 9 mm).
3.2
IAS 2 hose connector
The eccentric sander is a pneumatic tool for
connection to the Festool IAS 2 system.
This hose system combines three functions in
one hose:
- Compressed air supply (1.1)
- Exhaust air extraction (1.2)
- Dust extraction (1.3)
Connection and disconnection – see Fig. 3.
IAS 2 connecting system – see accompanying
instruction sheet.
3.3
Commissioning
Pressing the lever (2.1) switches on the pneu-
matic tool.
Releasing the lever switches the machine off
again.
4
Machine settings
The machine should always be dis-con-
nected from the compressed air supply
before any work is carried out on the
machine.
