RO 125 FEQ
The change can only be made when the
sanding pad is stationary, as the switch
is locked in place during operation for
reasons of safety.
Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding, polishing)
The Rotex rotary motion is a combina-
tion of rotary and eccentric motions. This
position is selected for sanding with high
output (coarse sanding) and polishing.
Slide the switch (1.1) into the right position.
Eccentric motion (fine sanding)
This position is selected for sanding with
low output for a scratch-free surface (fine
sanding).
Press the switch (1.1) downwards and push it into
the left-hand position.
5.2 Sanding pad brake
The rubber collar (3.1) prevents the sanding pad
from revving up to maximum speed in an un-
controlled manner during eccentric motion (fine
sanding). Because the collar wears down in the
course of time, it has to be replaced by a new one
(order no. 453 388) as soon as there is any reduc-
tion in the braking effect.
5.3 Choice and installation of the sanding
disks
Choise of sanding disk
The appliance can be fitted with three sanding
disks of different hardness depending on the
surface to be treated.
Hard: coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding at
edges.
Soft: universal for coarse and fine sanding for flat
and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: fine sanding on formed parts, curves,
radii. Do not use on edges!
Assembly
The FastFix system enables tool-free replacement
of the sanding pad:
- Set the switch (1.1) to the right, to the Rotex
rotary motion
- Press spindle stop (1.5), direction of movement
(3.2) first to the side, then forwards
- Turn the fitted sanding pad from the spindle
(right-handed thread)
- Keep the spindle stop pressed and screw on the
new sanding pad (in doing so, make sure that
the rubber collar (3.1) is correctly fitted!)
- let go of the spindle stop
Actuate the spindle stop only when the drive spin-
dle is stationary. Do not switch on the motor when
the spindle stop is pressed in.
5.4 Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and Stick-
fix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily
onto the Stickfix sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base (1.7) and held
safely in place by the Stickfix sanding base vel-
cro surface. After use, the StickFix sandpaper is
simply pulled off.
5.5 Securing polishing attachments
To prevent damage, PoliStick polishing attach-
ments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets) may
only be used on the special polishing pad that is
fitted on the machine instead of a sanding pad. In
the same way as the StickFix abrasives, the Poli-
Stick polishing attachments are simply pressed
onto the polishing pad and pulled off after use.
5.6 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.4).
5.7 Edge protector
The edge protector (4.1) prevents the sanding pad
from touching the edge perpendicular to a surface
(e.g. when sanding along a wall), thereby prevent-
ing the machine from rebounding.
Assembly
Slide the edge protector onto the machine until it
latches into place (see Fig. 4).
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
worked.
For safe guidance, hold the machine with one
hand on the motor housing (1.3) and one hand on
the gear head (1.8).
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.
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend
for different sanding and polishing work.
