Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power
consumption is limited at an excessive motor
temperature. If the temperature continues to
rise, the power tool switches off and can only
be switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.

Replacing the sanding pad [3]
An optimal work result can only be
achieved using original accessories and
consumables. The use of non-original
accessories or consumables invalidates
the right to claim under warranty.
Warning!
Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of
the machine when the sanding pad is
dismantled.
Health risk:
Fitting sanding pads of
incorrect size causes excessive vibration
of the machine.
Tuned to the surface being processed, the
machine can be equipped with three sanding pads
of different hardnesses.
Hard
: Coarse and fine sanding on surfaces.
Sanding edges.
Soft
: Universal for coarse and fine sanding, for
flat and convex surfaces.
Extra-soft
: Fine sanding of moulded parts,
arches, radii. Do not use on edges.
7.5
Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix [3b]
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and simply
to the StickFix sanding pad.
X
Press the self-adhesive sanding accessory to
the sanding pad
(1-3)
.
In the case of a weakening adhesive effect
of the StickFix surface, the sanding pad
accessories, in particular those which are
not yet touching the workpiece,
may come
loose from the sanding pad and cause
injuries
. Replace the sanding pad!
7.6
Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
X
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
X
Always read applicable national regulations
before extracting hazardous dust.
The power tool does not have its own extractor
unit. At the extractor connector
[1-5]
, a Festool
mobile dust extractor with an extraction hose
diameter of 27 mm should be connected.
Recommendation
: Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.
