Abrasives to clamp
Festool offers perforated abrasives
to clamp.
Unperforated abrasives can be perforated
with the „Lochfi x" (accessory).
Secure an abrasive sheet in place using
the two clamping devices (1.12). Press the
levers to release the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure
the abrasive paper is taut and sits
fl at on the sanding pad.

lnstructions on application
Never overload the tool by using too much
pressure! The best sanding results are
achieved when applying moderate pressu-
re. The sanding performance and quality
depend mainly on the choice of the right
sanding material. Festool offers the appro-
priate accessories, sanding and polishing
attachments for every application.
The accessory and tool order number can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festool.com".
