Mixed Dust Containing Metal And Sanding Damp Surfaces; Emission Levels; Intended Use - Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ Manual De Instrucciones

the grinding material is hot after long peri­
ods of work.
– If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust
is produced during sanding, the machining
instructions issued by the material manu­
facturer must always be followed.
Clean using materials soaked in oils, e.g.
–
abrasive pad or polishing felt with water,
and spread them out to dry. Materials
soaked in oil may ignite spontaneously.
Always use original Festool backing pads.
–
Pads from other manufacturers can break.
– Damaged or worn sanding tools may not be
used.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding
pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer
inspection. Have the damaged parts re­
paired before use. Broken sanding pads
and damaged machines can cause injuries
and machine instability.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2.3 Mixed dust containing metal and
sanding damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such as
dust resulting from paint sanding in the auto­
motive field) and when sanding damp surfaces,
the following measures must be observed for
reasons of safety:
– Install a residual-current circuit breaker
(GFCI, PRCD) upstream.
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex­
tractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of
the machine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.

Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance
with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a

The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.

The sanders are designed for sanding wood,
plastic, composite, paint/varnish, filler and sim­
ilar materials as directed. With mixed dust con­
taining metal (such as dust resulting from paint
sanding in the automotive industry) and when
sanding damp surfaces, special safety instruc­
tions must be followed. The sanders are not in­
tended to be suitable for grinding bare metal.
Material containing asbestos cannot be pro­
cessed.
