Working with the machine

Never overload the tool by using too
much pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when apply-
ing moderate pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on the choice of the right
sanding material. Festool offers the appropriate
sanding material for all applications (see Festool
catalogue or on the Internet under www.festoolusa.
com).

Metalworking

The following precautions are to be taken when
processing metals for safety reasons:
- connect a residual current operated device in
series before the tool,
- connect tool to a suitable dust extractor,
- clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.

Speed adjustment

We recommend the following settings of the rotary
control (1.3) for electronic machines:
3 - 6
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces

doors

1 - 3
- interim paint sanding on stained surfaces

Maintenance and care

Any maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened may only
be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Maintenance or repair work carried out by an unau-
thorised person can lead to the wrong connection of
the power leads or other components, which in turn
can lead to accidents with serious consequences.
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying out any work
on the machine!
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
The routers are fi tted with special carbon brushes
with automatic-switch-off. When the brushes reach
their wear limit the current is interrupted automati-
cally and the router comes to a standstill.

Accessories, tools

For safety reasons, only use original
Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
www.festoolusa.com.
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This provides
protection and storage for the tool and accessories.
The Systainers are stackable and can be interlocked
together. They also can be interlocked atop Festool
CT dust extractors.
To open the Systainer:
– Turn the T-loc [4.1] to the position
To lock the Systainer:
– Turn the T-loc [4.1] to the position
To connect two Systainers:
– Place one Systainer on the top of the other
(Fig. 4 A).
– Turn the T-loc [4.1] to the position
(Fig. 4 B).
The Systainers are connected and locked.
 A new generation Systainer is connectable on
top of a previous generation Systainer by the four
latches of the previous Systainer.
