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 ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.
Tables A and B show the settings we recom-
mend for different sanding and polishing work.

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and
free of blockages.
The machine is equipped with special carbon

automatically and the machine comes to a stand-
still.

Sanding pad brake
The rubber collar [10-1] on the sanding pad and the
stop ring [10-2] on the machine prevent uncon-
trolled excessive turning of the sanding pad during
eccentric motion (fine sanding). As these parts are
subject to wear in the course of time, they must be
replaced when reduced braking force is observed
(for order no., see spare parts list).
10
Accessories
Only use original sanding and polishing pads from
Festool. Low-quality sanding and polishing pads
may cause serious machine imbalance that de-
creases the quality of the working results and in-
creases machine wear.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool.com".

Environment
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and pack-
aging at an environmentally responsible recycling
centre. Observe the valid national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulates
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
