Dust Extraction; Working With The Machine - Festool ETS EC 125/3 EQ Manual De Instrucciones

Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work

with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-

fore extracting hazardous dust.
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.
For sanding we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel [1-2]:
Sanding work
– Sanding with max. abrasion
– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered surface
prior to paintwork
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on sur-
faces

At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm can be connected.
Recommendation: Use anti-static extractor hose!
This helps reduce the electric charge.
