USER MANUAL BS 105 E FESTOOL

2.1 General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warn- ings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

2.2 Tool-specifi c safety rules

- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Wear suitable personal protection equipment: ear protection to re- duce the risk of damaging your hearing; protective goggles; pro- tective gloves when handling tools and coarse materials - Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood and metal). Contact with these dusts, espe- cially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your country. Connect the electric power tool to a suitable extraction system. To protect your health, wear a P2 protective mask. - The manufacturer’s handling and processing instructions must be observed without fail if explosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to oc- cur during sanding. - Persons with long hair should wear a hair net while using the machine. Never work with baggy clothing. - Make sure the mains cable always leads away from the rear of the machine. - Never use worn, ripped or heavily clogged sand- ing belts. - Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup- plied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

2.3 Noise and vibration information

The typical values determined in accordance with EN 60745 are: Sound-pressure level 87 dB(A) Sound-power level 98 dB(A) Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB Wear ear protection! Overall vibration levels a

(vector sum for three di- rections) measured in accordance with EN 60745: Handle a

< 2.5 m/s² K = 1.5 m/s² Auxiliary handle a

= 6.0 m/s² K = 2.0 m/s²10 The specifi ed emissions values (vibration, noise) – are used to compare machines. – They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation. – They represent the primary applications of the power tool. Increase possible for other applications, with oth- er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take note of idling and downtimes of machine! 3 Power supply and start-up Observe mains voltage: the voltage and frequency of the power source must correspond to the specifi cation on the machine rating plate. In North America, only Festool machines with the voltage specifi cations 120 V/60 Hz may be used. On/Off switch Switch (1.3) serves as an On/Off switch (press = ON, release = OFF). It may be latched with the locking knob on the side (1.2) for continuous op- eration. Pressing the switch again releases the lock. 4 Machine settings Always remove the power supply plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine.

4.1 Speed adjustment (BS 105 E)

You can adjust the speed steplessly using the ad- justing wheel (2.5). This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the material (see table). Several factors infl uence the sanding speed (e.g. workpiece consistency, sanding belt and grit manufacturer, skill of the user) and so tests must be performed before sanding work commences to establish the best speed. The values listed in the table are only recom- mended. Application Rotary control set- ting Abrasive grit Solid wood 4 - 6 100 Veneer 3 - 4 120 Chipboard 5 - 6 100 Plastics 1 - 4 100 Steel 2 - 4 80 Removing paint 1 - 3 24

- Push the lever (3.6) forwards to slacken the sanding belt. - Remove the old sanding belt. - Attach a new sanding belt. Important: When inserting the sanding belt, make sure that the running direction of the belt (usually indicated by an arrow on the inside) matches the running direction of the machine (3.5). - Return the lever (3.6) to its original position. - Switch on the machine and check that the sand- ing belt is running smoothly. The sanding belt must run centrally across the sanding base (3.4). If this is not the case, use the rotary knob (3.1) to adjust the position of the sanding belt.

Always connect the machine to a dust extractor when performing work that generates dust. Inboard extraction Slide the connector (4.3) on the dust bag (4.1) onto the extractor opening (4.2) and turn clockwise to secure. Make sure that the plate springs (4.5) touch the belt casing on the machine. Turn the connector anticlockwise to remove and empty the bag. External extraction by an extraction unit Attach the adapter (4.4) to the extractor opening (4.2) instead of the dust bag. A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm can be connected to the adapter.

Position the air guide fl ap (1.1) so that the escap- ing air does not disturb you. 5 Working with the machine - Only switch off the machine when lifted from the workpiece. - Only guide the machine along the workpiece when switched on. Only switch off the machine once you have lifted it off the workpiece com- pletely. - Before putting the machine down, always switch it off and wait until it has stopped completely. - Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being sawed.11 - The machine must always be held with both hands by the designated handles (1.4, 1.5). Metalworking The following precautions are to be taken when processing metals for safety rea- sons: - Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker (FI, PRCD). - Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor. - Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the motor housing. - Wear protective goggles. - Sanding metal generates fl ying sparks. Make sure that sparks do not pose a risk for other persons. Flammable materials located within the range of fl ying sparks pose a fi re hazard and should be removed immediately. Operating instructions Apply minimal pressure when working with the machine. The weight of the machine should be suffi cient. Work at a steady pace. Guide the machine in parallel, overlapping sanding strokes along the workpiece. Sand in the direction of the grain to achieve a better surface quality. When sanding paint, clean the workpiece surface regularly so that paint dust does not clog the sanding belt. Once used on metal surfaces, sanding belts should not be used on any other material.

5.1 Stationary use (partly accessories)

- Attach both feet (5.3) via the two threaded holes (4.6). Important: the straight edges of the feet must face inwards. - Make sure that the machine is standing fi rmly: use clamps to attach the feet to the base.

5.2 Longitudinal stop (partly accessories)

- Attach the longitudinal stop to the threaded hole (5.2) using screw (5.1). - Unscrew the screw (6.3) to adjust the position of the longitudinal stop along the sanding belt. - To sand sloping surfaces, unscrew the screw (6.2) and adjust the longitudinal stop. The scale (6.1) indicates the angle setting.

5.3 Sanding frame (partly accessories)

Assembly - Position the machine so that the sanding frame tenons (2.3) rest in the grooves (2.4). The coun- terpiece (2.2) on the height adjuster must rest underneath the spring (2.1). - Push the machine downwards towards the grooves (2.4) until the counterpiece (2.2) latches into position. Removal - Push the knurled screw (2.7) downwards until the counterpiece (2.2) pops out of the notch. - Remove the machine from the sanding frame. Note: the position of the sanding frame guide elements (2.4) is set in the factory. Do not detach them from the machine! Working with the sanding frame Adjust the height of the sanding frame using the knurled screw (2.7). Increase the cutting depth (the distance the sanding belt protrudes over the edge of the sanding frame) by turning the screw in the direction of the plus sign. One turn of the knurled screw corresponds to 0.4 mm. Practical hint: use a test workpiece to set the sanding frame to the correct cutting depth. When work is complete, push the eccentric clamp (2.6) towards the machine until it latches into position. The machine is raised above the work- piece. When you return the eccentric clamp to its original position, the preset cutting depth is the same as before. 6 Maintenance and care Always remove the power supply plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. All maintenance and repair work which requires the motor casing to be opened may only be carried out by an authorised service centre. Customer service and repair.
