7.4 Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix [3B]
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and sim­
ply to the StickFix sanding pad.
► Affix the self-adhesive sanding accesso­
ry [3-1] to the sanding pad [3-2].
In the case of a weakening adhesive ef­
fect of the StickFix surface, the sanding
pad accessories, in particular those which are

Dust extraction

WARNING
Hazardous dust
Damage to the respiratory passage
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► Wear a dust mask.
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extrac­
tion hose diameter of 27 mm should be connec­
ted at the extractor connector [1-5].
Recommendation: Use an antistatic extractor
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move.
Observe the following information:
– Do not overload the machine by applying
too much pressure. The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on selecting the
correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands – one on
the motor housing and one on the gear
head [1-6] – to ensure safe guidance.
For sanding, we recommend the following set­
tings for the adjusting wheel [1-2]:

– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered sur­
face prior to paintwork
