– To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the motor
housing clean and free of blockages.
– In the event of a slowdown in performance
or increased vibrations, blow and clean
cooling air openings.
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
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 .
