The self-adhesive sanding material (5.1) is
simply pressed onto the sanding base (5.2) and
held safely in place by the Stickfix sanding base
velcro surface.
Always use original Festool
sanding materials!
Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using
too much pressure! The best sanding results
are achieved when applying moderate pressure.
The sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding
material. Festool offers the appropriate sanding
material for all applications (see Festool
catalogue).
We recommend the following settings on the
rotary control (2.1) for electronic machines:
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces
4 - 5
- sanding of thinly applied primer
- sanding of wood with sanding vlies
- sanding edges on wooden parts
- smoothing primed wooden surfaces.
3 - 4
- sanding full wooden and veneer edges
- sanding in the grooves/rebates of windows
and doors
- interim paint sanding on edges
- pre-sanding natural wood windows with
sanding vlies
- smoothing wood surfaces with sanding felt
prior to staining
- rubbing down stained surfaces with sanding
vlies
- rubbing down or removing excess lime paste
with sanding vlies
2 - 3
- interim paint sanding on stained surfaces
- cleaning natural wood window grooves with
sanding felt
1 - 2
- sanding stained edges
- sanding thermoplastic synthetics
Sanding base brakes
The sanding base is braked by a collar (6.1) in
order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive
speed of the sanding base.
Because the collar wears down in the course of
time, it has to be replaced by a new one (order
no. 489 190) as soon as there is any reduction
in the braking effect.
Maintenance and care
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying out any
work on the machine!
The cooling air vents on the motor housing must
always be free of blockages and clean to ensure
air circulation. Any maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened may
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
