Working With The Machine - Festool ROTEX RO 90 DX FEQ Manual De Instrucciones

English
Fine sanding - eccentric motion
This position is selected for sanding
with low output for a scratch-free
surface (fine sanding).
Triangular sanding and pad change [4]
This position is used for sanding with
the delta sanding pad and slat sand­
ing pad; the rotary motion is blocked.
You can change the sanding pad in
this position.
The stop rod [1-8] blocks the installa­
tion of the sanding pad in the change-
over switch positions ROTEX rotary
motion and eccentric motion.
7.3 Changing sanding/polishing pad [5]
Only use sanding and polishing pads
that are suitable for the maximum
speed specified.
Tuned to the surface being processed, the ma­
chine can be equipped with two 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.
When the interface pad [1-12] is fitted on the
sanding pad, strength is reduced = extra soft.
► Following the sanding pad change, switch
the change-over switch [1-2] to the desired
sanding motion.
7.4 Changing sanding pad [6]
The delta sanding pad DSS-GE-STF-RO90 can
be used for sanding close to borders, in corners
or on edges. The slat sanding pad LSS-STF-
RO90 can be used for sanding in narrow gaps,
e.g. louvres.
Observe the following instructions:
Work in corners and on edges tends to subject
the tip to increased stress and results in in­
creased heat development. In such cases, work
with reduced contact pressure.
Delta sanding pad DSS-GE-STF-RO90 [7]
If the front tip of the StickFix pad [7-1] of your
delta sanding pad is worn, take it off and turn it
120°.

Slat sanding pad LSS-STF-RO90 [8]
If the StickFix coating of the slat sanding pad is
worn, the complete table can be replaced. Open
the screws to do this [8-1].
7.5 Attaching sanding accessories
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and sim­
ply to the StickFix sanding pad.
► Press the self-adhesive sanding accessory
onto the sanding pad [1-7].
7.6 Attaching polishing accessories
To prevent damage, PoliStick accessories (pol­
ishing sponges, polishing felt, sheepskin) must
only be used on the special polishing pad.
► Press the self-adhesive polishing accessory
onto the sanding pad [1-9].
7.7 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.
At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mo­
bile dust extractor with an extraction hose di­
ameter of 27 mm can be connected.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic extractor
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.
7.8 Edge protector [9]
The edge protector [1-1] reduces contact of the
sanding pad circumference with a surface (e.g.
when sanding along a wall or a window), thus
preventing back-kick of the machine, or ma­
chine damage.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
machined.
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing
with excessive force! The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding capacity and
quality are mainly dependent on the selec­
tion of the correct abrasive.
