7.6 Adjusting the suction power

You can adjust the suction power to match
the surface type,
but only when internal extraction is active
(see chapter 7.5).
Use the adjusting wheel [5-3] to adjust the
•
suction power.
1: Low suction power
6: High suction power
• Start with a low suction power (position 1)
and slowly increase until you can feel that
the application pressure has noticeably
changed.
A high suction power makes sanding work
on ceilings and walls less tiring.
Excessive suction power can cause the
machine to vibrate and become more
diffi cult to guide. The machine may also
be overloaded. This activates the protec-
tive circuit. The red diode fl ashes slowly.
The electronic circuit switches to recovery
speed. If this happens, you must stop
working immediately until the machine has
cooled down again.

7.7 Sanding close to edges

The detachable brush segment allows you to
reduce the distance between the wall/ceiling
and the side of the sanding pad.
Press and hold the knob [9-1].
•
Remove the brush segment [9-2].
•
There is a retainer in the lid of the
SYSTAINER for storing the brush segment.
Hook in the brush segment at the opposite
•
end to the knob [9-1], swivel towards the
sanding head and engage into position.

7.8 Dust extraction

CAUTION
Breathing in dust can damage the re-
spiratory passage!
• Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
• When performing work that generates
dust, always wear a dust mask.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (recom-
mended due to the improved suction power)
can be connected to the extractor connector
[8-2].
The special extraction hose and special

suction sleeve [8-1] (available as an acces-
sory) ensure permanent attachment and
protect against kinking.
Use the special extractor "SRM 45 E
PLANEX" on large surfaces because this
extractor guarantees the permanent suc-
tion power required.
Press the green button [8-4] to open the
•
mechanical lock [8-3].
Attach the extraction hose on the dust ex-
•
tractor to the outlet spigot [8-2].
Swivel the mechanical lock [8-3] upwards
•
until it engages.

Operation

WARNING
Risk of injury
Do not hold the machine by the head.
•
Hold the machine with both hands.
•
Make sure that all clamping levers are
•
closed before operating the machine.
Connect the machine to the mains power
•
supply.
Before switching on, hold the sanding head
a slight distance away from the working
surface.
Switch on the machine.
•
The on/off switch has a zero voltage actua-
tor, which prevents the machine from start-
ing automatically after the power supply
is interrupted (e.g. after a power failure).
After an interruption in voltage, press the
on/off switch [5-2] to switch the machine
on again.
Perform the necessary sanding work.
•
Do not overload the machine by pressing
with excessive force! The best sanding re-
sults are achieved with moderate press-on
pressure. The sanding performance and
quality are mainly dependent on the selec-
tion of the correct abrasive.
Switch the machine off once the sanding
•
task is complete.
Visual warning signals on the sanding
head
The following visual signals appear on the
LED [10-2] on the motor housing and the
machine decreases in speed if necessary.
