Festool ETS 150/3 EQ Manual De Instrucciones Original página 12

9 Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using too
much pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when ap-
plying moderate pressure. The ETS 150/3 EQ,
ETS 150/3 E gives the best surface quality and
low abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ, ETS 150/5 E
provides high abrasion with good surface qual-
ity. The sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding material.
Festool offers the appropriate sanding material
for all applications (seeFestool catalogue or on
the Internet under "www.festool.com").

10 Sanding base brakes
The sanding base is braked by a collar
order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive speed
of the sanding base. Because the collar wears
down in the course of time, it has to be replaced
by a new one (order no. 453 388) as soon as there
is any reduction in the braking effect.
11 Maintenance and care
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
•
performing any type of work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which re-
•
quires the motor housing to be opened must
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
Check the plug and the cable regularly and
•
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales service
workshop.
The cooling air vents on the motor housing must
always be free of blockages and clean to ensure
air circulation.
12 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre. Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
13 Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine
because these components are designed spe-
cifi 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!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festool.com".
