Edge Protector - Festool ROTEX RO 125 FEQ Manual De Instrucciones

The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base (1.7) and held
safely in place by the Stickfi x sanding base vel-
cro surface. After use, the StickFix sandpaper is
simply pulled off.
5.5 Securing polishing attachments
To prevent damage, PoliStick polishing attach-
ments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets) may
only be used on the special polishing pad that is
fi tted on the machine instead of a sanding pad. In
the same way as the StickFix abrasives, the Poli-
Stick polishing attachments are simply pressed
onto the polishing pad and pulled off after use.
5.6 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an ex-
tractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the extractor
connector (1.4).
5.7

Edge protector

The edge protector (4.1) prevents the sanding pad
from touching the edge perpendicular to a surface
(e.g. when sanding along a wall), thereby prevent-
ing the machine from rebounding.
Assembly
Slide the edge protector onto the machine until it
latches into place (see Fig. 4).
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
worked.
For safe guidance, hold the machine with one
hand on the motor housing (1.3) and one hand on
the gear head (1.8).
Never overload the tool by using too much pres-
sure! The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure. The sanding perfor-
mance and quality depend mainly on the choice
of the right sanding material.
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend
for different sanding and polishing work.
6.1 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety rea-
sons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.

an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
