Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
► Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
► Always read applicable national regula­
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
Integral dust extractor with long-life dust bag
As standard, the sanders are equipped with an
integral dust extractor. The sanding dust is ex­
tracted through extraction openings in the
sanding pad and is collected in the dust bag.
Installing the dust bag [5]
Slide the dust bag onto the machine until it
clicks into place.
If the suction power is decreasing, empty
the dust bag.
Press the dust bag onto the actuating ele­
ments.
Remove the dust bag by moving it towards
the rear.
Open the flap on the dust bag.
Empty the dust bag and dispose of the waste.
Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex­
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust
bag when carrying out sanding work for a long
period of time, you can connect Festool's mo­
RTSC 400 Li
bile dust extractor (with an extraction hose di­
ameter of 27 mm) to the extractor connection
piece [1-4].
The start-up mode switches the mo­
bile dust extractor on as soon as you
switch the orbital sander on. The
start-up mode only works in conjunc­
tion with the mains adapter.
If the power tool is used in cordless
operation with a mobile dust extrac­
tor, the battery life decreases. Reduc­
ing the suction power minimises this
effect.
High suction power can impair control
of the power tool. Reducing the suc­
tion power minimises this effect.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.
8.5 Edge protector [6]
The edge protector [1-7] prevents the sanding
pad circumference from coming into contact
with a surface (e.g. when sanding along a wall
or a window), thus preventing back-kick of the
machine, or machine damage.
Push the edge protector into the groove on
the machine.
Slot the two ends of the edge protector into
place until they click.
Loosen both ends of the edge protector.
Remove the edge protector by pulling it for­
wards.

9 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 excessive force! The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding capacity and
quality are mainly dependent on the selec­
tion of the correct abrasive.
– Work in corners and on edges tends to sub­
ject the tip to increased stress and results
