7.1 Switching on/off

WARNING Risk of injury ► Remove the battery pack from the power tool before performing any work on the power tool.

Temperature cut-out The power tool switches off if it becomes too hot. It can only be switched on again once the power tool has cooled sufficiently. Constant speed The preselected motor speed is kept constant through electronic control. This means that, if the machine is used as intended (reasonable contact pressure), a constant sanding speed is achieved. Speed reduction in the event of high vibrations If high vibrations and oscillations occur at the power tool, e.g. with the use of an interface pad, the speed is automatically reduced in order to protect the power tool and the user. Speed control You can use the adjusting wheel[1-8] to contin uously adjust the speed within the speed range (see Section4). This enables the sanding speed to be optimally adjusted to suit the material you are working on. English 18Speed range by sanding task – Sanding with max. abrasion – Sanding off old paint – Sanding wood and veneered surfa ces prior to paintwork – Intermediate sanding of paintwork on surfaces 5‑6 – Sanding thinly applied undercoat – Sanding wood with sanding cloth – Edge breaking on wooden parts – Smoothing primed wooden surfaces 4‑5 – Sanding solid wood and veneered edges – Sanding rebate of windows and doors – Intermediate sanding of paintwork on edges – Light sanding of natural wood win dows using sanding cloth – Smoothing wooden surfaces using sanding cloth before staining – Rubbing or removing excess lime stone residue using sanding cloth 3‑4 – Intermediate sanding of paintwork on stained surfaces – Cleaning natural wood window re bates using sanding cloth 2-3 – Sanding stained edges – Sanding thermoplastics 1‑2 Restart protection The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatical ly if the power is disconnected during continu ous use. To restart it, the power tool must be switched on again.

8.2 Replacing the sanding pad[3A]

Always use original Festool tools and original Festool accessories. Using low-quality tools or accessories from other manufacturers may in crease the risk of injury and seriously unbal ance the machine, decreasing the quality of the working results and accelerating power tool wear. WARNING! Do not perform any structural changes to the open interior space of the power tool when the sanding pad is dismantled. ► Unscrew the screw[3-2] . ► Remove the sanding pad[3-1] by pulling it downwards. ► Attach the new sanding pad. ► Tighten the screw by hand (2.5Nm).

8.3 Hardness of the sanding pad

The power tool can be fitted with sanding pads of different hardnesses to suit the surface being sanded. Hard: Coarse and fine sanding on flat surfaces. Sanding along edges. Soft: Universal for coarse and fine sanding, for flat and convex surfaces. Extra-soft: Fine sanding of moulded parts, arches, radii. Do not use on edges.

8.4 Attaching sanding accessories using

StickFix[3B] The required StickFix sandpaper and StickFix sanding cloth can be attached quickly and sim ply to the StickFix sanding pad.

CAUTION Risk of injury from decreasing StickFix adhe sion The sanding pad accessories can come loose from the sanding pad. ► Replace the sanding pad. ► Affix the self-adhesive sanding accesso ry[3-4] to the sanding pad[3-3].

WARNING Hazardous dust Damage to the respiratory passage ► Always work with an extractor. ► Comply with national regulations. ► Wear a dust mask. Integral dust extractor with long-life dust bag As standard, the sanders are equipped with an integral dust extractor. The sanding dust is extracted through extraction openings in the sanding pad and is collected in the dust bag. The integral dust extraction system is not suita ble for mineral or metallic types of dust. These would clog the fabric structure of the long-life dust bag, which would in turn restrict the inte gral dust extraction function of the sander. Fitting the dust bag[4A] ► Push the dust bag[4-1] until it clicks into place. ► Tighten clamping lever[4-2]. If the suction power is decreasing, remove and empty the dust bag[4C]. English 19Removing the dust bag[4B] ► Undo the clamping lever. ► Remove the dust bag. Dust extraction with Festool’s mobile dust ex tractor To prevent having to frequently empty the dust bag when working with the power tool for a long period of time, you can connect Festool’s mobile dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of27mm to the extractor connec tor[1-10]. CAUTION! If an anti-static suction hose is not used, static charge may occur. The user may receive an electric shock and the electronics of the power tool may be damaged. The start-up mode of the mobile dust extractor can be used by connecting a Bluetooth

battery pack (see battery pack operating manual). If the power tool is used in cordless oper ation with a mobile dust extractor, the bat tery life decreases. Reducing the suction power minimises this effect. High suction power can impair control of the power tool. Reducing the suction pow er minimises this effect.

8.6 Edge protector[5]

The edge protector[5-1] stops the outer edge of the sanding pad from coming into contact with a surface (e.g. when sanding along a wall or a window), preventing machine kickback or machine damage. ► Push the edge protector into the groove on the machine. ► Push the two ends (left and right) of the edge protector into place until they click. ► Undo both ends of the edge protector. ► Remove the edge protector by pulling it forwards.

8.7 Adjusting the surface control light

When the power tool is switched on, the surface control light[1-5] switches on in the most re cently used mode. The surface control light can also be controlled using the light switch[1-2] when the power tool is switched off. Switching on ► Press the light switch once. Dimming ► Press the light switch twice. Switching off ► Press the light switch three times. Brightness and afterglow time ► Can be configured using the FestoolApp. Resetting ► Press the light switch for at least fivesec onds.

The power tool can be configured with the FestoolApp. To do this, the battery pack used must be a Bluetooth

battery pack. The battery pack is connected via Bluetooth

, see the operating manual for the battery pack. You can find further information about op erating the power tool in the FestoolApp. *Not available in all countries. 9 Working with the electric power tool

WARNING Risk of injury ► Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being machined. – Do not overload the machine by pressing with excessive force! The best sanding re sults are achieved with moderate applica tion pressure. The sanding performance and quality are mainly dependent on the selection of the correct abrasive. – Hold the machine with one hand by the handle[1-9] to ensure safe guidance. – Never work without sanding pad brake at tached[1-6]. – The pad foam becomes brittle due to age ing. Before working, check the pad foam for wear.

Warning signals occur and the power tool switches off in the following operating states: English 20Acous tic sig nal Cause Action Beeps once. Battery pack empty/incompat ible. Charge/change the battery pack. Power tool over loaded. Reduce the load on the power tool. Power tool has overheated. Once it has cooled down, re start the power tool. Beeps contin uously. The power tool is faulty. Contact the manufacturer to rectify the fault. 10 Service and maintenance

WARNING Risk of injury, electric shock ► Always remove the battery pack from the power tool before performing any mainte nance or service work. ► All maintenance and repair work which requires the motor housing to be opened should always be carried out by an author ised service workshop. Customer service and repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer or service workshops. You must only use original Festool spare parts. Further information: www.festool.co.uk/service – To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and free of blockages. – In the event of a slowdown in performance or increased vibrations, vacuum and clean cooling air openings. – Do not clean the power tool with com pressed air. – Always keep the contacts on the power tool and battery pack clean.

10.1 Cleaning the extraction channels[6]

We recommend cleaning the extraction chan nels in the sander[6-1] with a small flat brush or a cloth roughly once a week (especially when sanding artificial resin putty, when sand ing damp surfaces or plaster).

10.2 Cleaning the inside of the power tool[6]

Regularly clean the inside of the power tool at the bottom of the fan[6-3], otherwise the vibra tion values deteriorate as a result of the dust accumulation.

10.3 Maintaining the sanding pad and

sanding pad brake[6] The sanding pad brake[6-2] brushes against the sanding pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sanding pad. The sanding pad brake is almost wear-free thanks to the pins used. The sanding pad itself can become worn, however. In the case of a decreasing braking effect, first check the sanding pad for wear and replace it if necessary. Replace the sanding pad brake if damaged. 11 Accessories You can find the PO numbers for accessories and tools under www.festool.co.uk. 12 Environment Do not dispose of electrical devices, used batteries and battery packs in the household waste.
