The switch (1.1) acts as an ON / OFF switch (I = ON
/ 0 = OFF).
The RTS 400 EQ has an electronic control with which
the rotational speed can be varied step-free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to the
optimum level according to the material concerned
(see "Working with the tool").
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(2.1).
Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and dirt
collecting in the workplace.
The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction as
standard. The sanding dust is extracted through
suction openings in the sanding base (3.5) and
trapped in the turbo-fi lter (3.4).
The turbo-fi lter has to be changed when it is so full
of dust that the extraction power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-fi lter
– Push the fi lter holder with its opening (3.2) as
far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (3.1)
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob (3.3).
– Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-
fi lter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the extraction
nozzle (3.6) of the fi lter holder.
3.9
– Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9) onto
the retaining strip (3.8) of the fi lter holder.
External extraction by
In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo-fi l-
ter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is possible
to connect a Festool extractor to the unit instead of
using inbuilt extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe ( 27 mm (4.1))
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle.
