Changing 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.
If the StickFix coating on the sanding pad has
worn out, the entire sanding pad can be re
placed:
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).

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
[1-4]
.
The start-up mode switches the mo
bile dust extractor on as soon as you
switch the orbital sander on. The
start-up mode only works in conjunc
tion with the mains adapter.
