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
Always use original Festool tools and accesso
ries. Using low-quality tools or accessories
18
from other manufacturers may increase the
risk of injury and seriously unbalance the ma
chine, decreasing the quality of the working re
sults and accelerating power tool wear.
Refer to the Festool catalogue for the order
numbers of accessories and tools or find them
online at www.festool.co.uk.
