Dust extraction
In order to draw off the dust produced during
sanding the hose (Ø 27 mm) of a Festool dust
extractor is attached to the suction adapter
(1.2) at the end of the motor casing. The
sanding dust is then drawn off directly through
the extractor channel in the sanding pad.
When working with wood or if materials are
used which may produce harmful dusts the
electrical tool should be connected to a suitable
extractor.
Sanding pad
The sanding pad is made of MPE foam (micro-
cellular polyurethane elastomer) and has
bevelled edges (2.3). It has a velour fabric on
its top surface and a Stickfix covering on its
underside. The velour side of the sanding pad
is pressed against the Stickfix covering of the
sanding base (2.4) The tool's sanding base has
three centring protuberances (2.1) at its
corners enabling easy adjustment.
Please note:
The device has been specially developed for
work in corners and on edges. Experience has
shown that this leads to a more point-focal load
on the tip of the sanding base. The heat
generated is naturally higher than when
working on the whole surface since the same
pressure is applied to a smaller surface. Do
not apply as much pressure since otherwise
the Stickfix covering of the sanding pad and
the abrasive quickly become damaged. If the
Stickfix covering on the front tip of the sanding
pad should become worn simply remove the
sanding pad, rotate around 120° and replace.
If the Stickfix covering of the sanding base
should become worn the complete base (Or-
der No. 487406) can be replaced. Simply loosen
the two screws (2.2 and 2.5).
Abrasive
Festool can offer perforated Stickfix abrasives
in grain sizes from P 40 to P 400 for an effective
dust extraction. Order numbers can be found
in the corresponding brochures.
The Stickfix abrasives are simply pressed onto
the Stickfix sanding pad and pulled off after
use.
If the front tip of the abrasive has become worn
it can be removed from the sanding pad, rotated
around 120° and replaced.
Maintenance and care
Always disconnect the machine
at its mains plug before performing
maintenance work!
The vent openings on the motor casing must
always be kept clean and free to ensure a good
circulation of air.
The device is fitted with self-disconnecting
special brushes. If these become worn the
power is automatically interrupted and the
device comes to a standstill.
Any maintenance and repair work requiring the
motor casing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorised service workshop. The
