Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex­
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust
bag when carrying out sanding work for a long
period of time, you can connect Festool's mo­
bile dust extractor (with an extraction hose di­
ameter of 27 mm) to the extractor connection
piece [1-5].
The start-up mode switches the mobile
dust extractor on as soon as you switch
the orbital sander on. The start-up mode
only works in conjunction with the mains
adapter.
If the power tool is used in cordless op­
eration with a mobile dust extractor, the
battery life decreases. Reducing the
suction power minimises this effect.
High suction power can impair control of
the power tool. Reducing the suction
power minimises this effect.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.
7.5 Edge protector [6]
The edge protector [1-8] 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.
Push the edge protector into the groove on
the machine.
Slot the two ends of the edge protector into
place until they click.
Loosen both ends of the edge protector.
Remove the edge protector by pulling it for­
wards.

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.
– Hold the machine with one hand on the
handle [1-9].
