When the graphite coating on the pad lining (3.3)
is heavily worn this has to be replaced. To do this
the 3 cheese-head screws (3.1) are loosened and
the strip (3.2) removed.
A sanding support for rough work at high removal
rates is available.
The belt sander requires practically no mainte-
nance.
The lubrication for the antifriction bearings and
gears is designed to last for the service life of the
machine.
It is advisable to clean the air intake and outlet
ports and the dust suction and extraction channel
occasionally with compressed air while the sander
is running and at standstill.
This will prevent the openings from becoming
clogged with dust.
The special carbon brushes only wear down to a
minimum length.
Thereafter the power cuts out automatically and
the sander comes to a stop.
The motor housing may only be opened by an
authorised Festool service workshop, since spe-
cialist knowledge is required for assembly.
