material from surfaces and for sanding edges.
- Soft: universal for coarse and fi ne sanding, with
elastic structure for even and curved surfaces.
- Super soft: high elasticity, for smooth fi ne sand-
ing of moulded parts, curves, radii.
Do not use super soft pads with the Lex 2
150/11!
Do not use on edges.
Assembly - see Fig. 4. Make sure the position of
the positive-fi t supports of the sanding pads (4.1)
and the machine (4.2) is congruent.

Abrasive
Self-adhesive abrasives, such as Stickfi x sand-
paper, and sanding cloths can be affi xed to the
Stickfi x sanding pads.
The abrasives are simply pressed onto the sanding
pads and removed after use.
The abrasives must be affi xed concentri-
cally and the holes aligned with those on
the sanding pad.

Maintenance and care
The machine should always be discon-
nected from the compressed air supply
before any work is carried out on the
machine.
Any maintenance or repair work requiring the
motor housing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorised service workshop.
5.1
Vanes
We recommend that the vanes on the motor be
replaced after approx. 500 operating hours.
5.2
Sanding pad brake
The collar (5.1) makes contact with the sanding
pad, thus preventing the sanding pad from vibrat-
ing uncontrolledly.
This collar wears out over time and must be re-
placed should brake fading occur. The sanding pad
must be removed for this. You can then remove the
collar from the snap-on fastener (5.2) and replace
it with a new one.
5.3
Lubrication
If the machine is not used for longer periods, e.g.
for a weekend, introduce 1 or 2 drops of lubricat-
ing oil into the compressed-air supply (5.3) on the
machine prior to use.
5.4
Replacing the silencer
The silencer on the IAS 2 connecting piece must
be replaced at regular intervals to maintain the
power of the pneumatic tool.
5.5
Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend that the extraction channels in
the machine (5.4) be cleaned using a small pipe-
cleaner brush or a cloth once a week (especially
when sanding resin fi ller).
6
Accessories, tools
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material designed for this machine
because these system components are designed
specifi cally for the machine. Using accessories
and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your working
results and limit any warranty claims. Machine
wear or your own personal workload may increase
depending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty claims
by always using original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material!
7
Disposal
Do not throw the tool in your household waste!
Dispose of machines, accessories and packaging
at an environmentally responsible recycling cen-
tre. Observe the valid national regulations.
8
Warranty
Our equipment is under warranty for at least 12
months with regard to material or production
faults in accordance with national legislation. In
the EU countries, the warranty period is 24 months
(an invoice or delivery note is required as proof of
purchase). Damage resulting from, in particular,
normal wear and tear, o-verloading, improper
handling, or caused by the user or other damage
caused by not following the operating instruc-
tions, or any fault acknowledged at the time of
purchase, is not covered by the warranty. Damage
caused by the use of non-original accessories and
consumable material (e.g. sanding pads) is also
excluded. Complaints will only be acknowledged
if the equipment has not been dismantled before
being sent back to the suppliers or to an author-
ised Festool customer support workshop. Store
the operating instructions, safety notes, spare
parts list and proof of purchase in a safe place.
In addition, the manufacturer's current warranty
conditions apply.
