CAUTION
The 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 opera-
ting cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle
in addition to the trigger time).

Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
Switch (1.1) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On / 0
= Off). It may be latched with the locking knob on
the side (3.1) for continuous operation. Pressing
the switch again releases the lock.
Always switch the machine off before con-
necting or disconnecting the mains l
ead!
CAUTION
Heating of the Plug it connection if ba-
yonet fi tting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
-
Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fi tting at the mains
cable is closed fully and locked.
See Fig. 4 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
4 Machine
settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
4.1 Dust
extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor. Dust extractors prevent large
accumulations of dust in the air in the
working environment and dirt collecting
at the workplace.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.2).
Sanding dust is extracted through the extraction
channels in the sanding pad directly to the mate-
rial removal point.
Opening the bypass (2.1/2.2) to allow air to enter
prevents the machine from sticking to fl at sur-
faces when processing workpieces. The further
you open the bypass, the more air is drawn in.
4.2
Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding ma-
terials!
Stickfi x abrasives
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper
and Stickfi x sanding felt can be fastened
quickly and easily onto the Stickfi x sand-
ing pad.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base and held safely in
place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
After use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply pulled
off.
Abrasives to clamp
Festool offers perforated abrasives to
clamp.
Unperforated abrasives can be perforated with
the „Lochfi x“ (accessory).
- Before affi xing any abrasives, attach a Stickfi x
abrasive sheet to the sanding pad fi rst so that
the adhesive coating on the Stickfi x sanding pad
is not damaged.
- Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the two
clamping devices (1.3/1.4). Press the levers to
release the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure the
abrasive paper is taut and sits fl at on the
sanding pad.
4.3 Auxiliary
handle
The auxiliary handle (1.5) can be attached for tasks
where the front edge of the sanding pad sands up
to edges.

Instructions on application
Never overload the tool by using too much pres-
sure! The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure. The sanding perfor-
mance and quality depend mainly on the choice
of the right sanding material.
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
