7.2 Replacing the sanding pad [4a]
An optimal work result can only be ach­
ieved using original accessories and con­
sumables. The use of non-original accessories
or consumables invalidates the right to claim
under warranty.
Warning! Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the
machine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
Undo the four screws.
Remove the sanding pad by pulling it down­
wards.
Attach the new sanding pad.
Use four screws to tighten it by hand
(2.5 Nm).
Hardness of the sanding pad
Adapted to the surface being processed, the
machine can be equipped with sanding pads of
different hardnesses.
Soft: Universal for coarse and fine sanding, for
flat and convex surfaces.
Extra-soft: Fine sanding of moulded parts,
arches, radii. Do not use on edges.
7.3 Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix [4b]
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and sim­
ply to the StickFix sanding pad.
► Affix the self-adhesive sanding accessory to
the sanding pad.
In the case of a weakening adhesive ef­
fect of the StickFix surface, the sanding
pad accessories, in particular those which are
not yet touching the workpiece, may come
loose from the sanding pad and cause injuries .
Replace the sanding pad!
7.4 Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
► Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
► Always read applicable national regula­
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
Integral dust extractor with long-life dust bag
As standard, the sanders are equipped with an
integral dust extractor. The sanding dust is ex­
tracted through extraction openings in the
sanding pad and is collected in the dust bag.
Installing the dust bag [5]
Slide the dust bag onto the machine until it
clicks into place.
If the suction power is decreasing, empty
the dust bag.
Press the dust bag onto the actuating ele­
ments.
Remove the dust bag by moving it towards
the rear.
Open the flap on the dust bag.
Empty the dust bag and dispose of the waste.
Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex­
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust
bag when carrying out sanding work for a long
period of time, you can connect Festool's mo­
bile dust extractor (with an extraction hose di­
ameter of 27 mm) to the extractor connection
piece [1-5] .
The start-up mode switches the mobile
dust extractor on as soon as you switch
the orbital sander on. The start-up mode
only works in conjunction with the mains
adapter.
