CAUTION
Risk of injury

The machine should always be disconnected
from the compressed air supply before any work
is carried out on the machine.
6.1 Setting and adjusting the speed
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly be-
tween 6500 and 8000 rpm using the adjusting wheel
[2-2].
This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to
suit the material.
6.2 Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard

Always work with a dust extractor.

Always observe country-specific regulations.
 For use of a Festool mobile dust extractor with
flow sensor: Adjust hose diameter of mobile
dust extractor to Ø 27 mm.
To guarantee optimal dust extraction, we recom-
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.
6.3 Replacing the sanding pad [4]
An optimal work result can only be achieved
using original accessories and consumables.
The use of non-original accessories or con-
sumables invalidates the right to claim un-
der warranty.
Health risk: Fitting sanding pads of incorrect
size causes excessive vibration of the ma-
chine.
Tuned to the surface being processed, the machine
can be equipped with three sanding pads of differ-
ent hardnesses.
16
Hard: Coarse and fine sanding on surfaces. Sand-
ing 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.
6.4 Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix sand-
ing cloth can be attached quickly and simply to the
StickFix sanding pad.

Press the self-adhesive sanding accessory onto
the sanding pad [4-1].

8.1 Vanes
We recommend that the vanes on the motor be re-
placed after approx. 500 operating hours.
8.2 Sanding pad brake
The rubber sleeve[5-1] brushes off the sanding pad
and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sanding pad.
This must be replaced if the braking effect decreases.
