Frequently Asked Questions - PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQI-Set FESTOOL
How can I use the PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQI to sand a ceiling without getting tired?
Thanks to its long handle and balanced weight, you work standing up, without a ladder. Place the sander against the ceiling and make regular movements while letting the tool glide. The constant power and integrated dust extraction ensure clean, effortless sanding.
What is the difference between the PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQI and a classic sander?
The PLANEX has a long handle that avoids bending over or using a stepladder. Its 225 mm sanding surface covers large areas. The brushless motor without carbon brushes offers increased lifespan and reduced maintenance. It is specially designed for walls and ceilings.
How do I change the sanding pad?
Disconnect the tool. Remove the abrasive, then unscrew the screws located under the pad or use the provided tool. Clean the contact surface before installing the new pad. Tighten properly and check that the Velcro is securely attached.
Can I connect my workshop vacuum to this sander?
Yes, the tool has a 27/36 mm dust extraction connection compatible with Festool vacuums and most industrial vacuums. An airtight connection is necessary to optimize dust removal. Use a suitable hose.
What abrasive should I use for sanding drywall?
Use 225 mm Velcro discs with 80 to 150 grit for coarse sanding, then 180 to 240 for finishing. Festool offers Saphir or Brilliant abrasives specially suited to this type of surface.
What should I do if the sander does not start?
First check the mains voltage and the power cable. Then, check the position of the switch and the operation of the speed controller. If the problem persists, contact Festool after-sales service. Never disassemble the motor without qualification.
How do I maintain the brushless motor?
The EC-TEC motor contains no carbon brushes, so no periodic replacement is required. Simply ensure the ventilation slots remain clear and regularly clean the housing with a dry cloth or a blow gun.
What is the meaning of 'Set' in EQI-Set?
The term Set indicates that the tool is sold with a set of accessories: an additional pad, abrasives of different grits, a mounting key, a dust extraction hose, and a SYSTAINER case for transport and storage.
Is it possible to use the sander with an extension cable?
Yes, if the extension cable is in good condition, with sufficient cross-section (e.g., 3 x 1.5 mm²) and suited to the 400 W power. Unroll the cable fully to avoid overheating. Follow applicable electrical standards.
What safety precautions should I take when sanding?
Always wear a dust mask, protective goggles, and gloves. Work with dust extraction connected to avoid inhaling particles. Ensure the room is well ventilated. Never touch the moving surface while it is operating.
