mend using Festool extractors with automatic
switch-on/switch-off device for compressed air
machines.
In order to prevent damage to the pneumatic
motor, dust extraction must not be carried
out on the pneumatic tool when it is at stand-
still.
Working with the machine
Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.

Vanes
We recommend that the vanes on the motor be re-
placed after approx. 2000 operating hours.
Replacing the silencer
In order to maintain the power and performance of
the compressed air tool, replace the silencer on the
IAS hose systems at regular intervals.
Sanding pad brake
The rubber sleeve
[6-1]
brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sand-
ing pad. This must be replaced if the braking effect
decreases.
Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction channels in
the machine roughly once a week (particularly if
sanding synthetic resin, in the case of wet sanding
and if sanding plaster)
[6-2]
using a small flat
brush or a cloth.
WARNING
Risk of injury
The machine should always be disconnected
from the compresses air supply before any work
is carried out on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor casing to be opened may only be car-
ried out by an authorised service centre.
