Wear ear protection!
Vibration emission value ah (vector sum for three
directions) and uncertainty K measured in ac-
cordance with EN 62841 (see EU Declaration of
Conformity):
Sanding a
h
< 2.5 m/s²
K = 1.5 m/s²
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
CAUTION
The noise emissions during actual use
of the power tool can differ from the
declared values depending on the ways
in which the tool is used especially what
kind of workpiece is processed.
Identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operat-
ing cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle
in addition to the trigger time).
2 Intended use
As specified, the machines are designed for sand-
ing wood, plastic, filler and painted surfaces.
Metals and materials that contain asbestos must
not be processed. Sparks may be created when
processing metals, which increase the risk of fire.
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material designed for this machine
because these components are designed spe-
cifically for the machine. Using accessories and
consumable material from other suppliers will
most likely affect the quality of your working
results and limit any warranty claims. Machine
wear or your own personal workload may increase
depending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty claims
by always using original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material!
The user is liable for damage and injury
resulting from incorrect usage!
3 Power supply and start-up
Observe mains voltage: the voltage and
frequency of the power source must
correspond to the specification on the
machine rating plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with the
voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be used.
On/Off switch
Switch (1.3) serves as an On/Off switch (press =
ON, release = OFF). It may be latched with the
locking knob on the side (1.2) for continuous op-
eration. Pressing the switch again releases the
lock.
4 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 Speed adjustment (BS 105 E)
You can adjust the speed steplessly using the ad-
justing wheel (2.5). This enables you to optimise
the cutting speed to suit the material (see table).
Several factors influence the sanding speed (e.g.
workpiece consistency, sanding belt and grit
manufacturer, skill of the user) and so tests must
be performed before sanding work commences
to establish the best speed.
The values listed in the table are only recom-
mended.

4.2 Changing tools
- Push the lever (3.6) forwards to slacken the
sanding belt.
- Remove the old sanding belt.
- Attach a new sanding belt.
Important : When inserting the sanding belt,
make sure that the running direction of the belt
(usually indicated by an arrow on the inside)
matches the running direction of the machine
(3.5).
- Return the lever (3.6) to its original position.
