To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the motor housing
clean and free of blockages.
In the event of a slowdown in performance or
increased vibrations, blow and clean cooling air
openings.
9.1 Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction chan­
nels in the machine [4-1] roughly once a week
(particularly if sanding synthetic resin, in the
case of wet sanding and if sanding plaster) us­
ing a small flat brush or a cloth.
9.2 Cleaning the inside of the power tool
Regularly clean the inside of the power tool at
the bottom of the fan, [4-3] otherwise the vibra­
tion values worsen as a result of the dust accu­
mulation.
9.3 Replace the sanding pad and sanding
pad brake
The rubber sleeve [4-2] brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the
sanding pad. The sanding pad brake is almost
wear-free thanks to the pins used.
In the case of a decreasing braking effect, first
check the sanding pad for wear and replace it if
necessary. Replace the damaged sanding pad
brake/rubber sleeve.

10 Accessories

Only use original Festool sanding and polishing
pads. Low-quality sanding and polishing pads
may cause serious machine imbalance that de­
creases the quality of the working results and
increases machine wear.
The PO numbers of the accessories and filters
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet at "www.festool.co.uk".

cable national regulations.
