toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for sanding opera-
tions
- Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745
are typically:

Sanding:
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
fi ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.

WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
- The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the spe-
cifi cations on the machine's name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
a voltage specifi cation of 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
The tool is fi tted with an on/off switch [1-1] with
switch-on lock [1-2]. Press the switch-on lock
to release the switch. Pressing and holding the
switch-on lock briefl y after the machine starts
locks the switch while the motor is running. The
motor switches off when you press the on/off
switch again.
Attaching the additional handle
The additional handle (1-5) can be secured on ei-
ther the right or left side of the gear head on the
rotary sander.
Attaching extraction hood AH-RAS D 180
The extraction hood can only be used in combina-
tion with sanding pads STF D 180 and 2F D 180.

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
7.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics with
the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly
between 800 and 4000 rpm using the adjusting
wheel [1-4].
