5.3 Dust extraction

Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced
during your work (e.g. lead-containing
paint, some types of wood and metal).
Contact with these dusts, especially inhaling
them, can represent a hazard for operating
personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with
the safety regulations that apply in your country.
Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system. To protect your health, wear
a P2 protective mask.
If potentially explosive or self-igniting
dust is produced during sanding, the
processing instructions of the material
manufacturer must be observed under all
circumstances.
You can connect a Festool extractor to the ex-
tractor connector (4.2). The extractor hose in
the Festool extractor is 27 mm in diameter.
Always adjust the brush ring (4.3) with the
rotary knob (4.4) in fl ying direction of the
sanding dust.
5.4 Installing sanding pad
The Stickfi x sanding discs (7.1) are threaded
M14, and can be screwed directly onto the
drive shaft.
The sanding pad can normally be unscrewed
by hand after pressing the spindle stop (1.5).
However, if the sanding pad can still not be
removed:
– Remove the brush insert (6.5).
– Apply the special spanner (6.3) through the
slot (6.4) on the spanner fl at of the sand-
ing pad.
– Press spindle stop (1.5).
– Release the sanding pad by turning the
special spanner.
Actuate the spindle stop only when the
drive spindle is stationary. Do not switch
on the motor when the spindle stop is
pressed in.
5.5 Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and
Stickfi x sanding felt can be fastened quickly
and easily onto the Stickfi x sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material (1.5) is
simply pressed onto the sanding base (1.7)
and held safely in place by the Stickfi x sand-
ing base velcro surface.
After use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply
pulled off.
