General safety rules
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious personal in-
jury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Contact with a „live“ wire will make exposed
metal parts of the power tool „live“ and shock
the operator.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4) Tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
2
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
•
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well ventilated
area and use approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out micro-
scopic particles.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
•
and other masonry products,
rpm revolutions per minute
spm strokes per minute
Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood,
plastic, composite materials, paint / varnish,
fi lling material and similar materials. Metal
and materials with an asbestos content must
not be processed with these tools.
The machine is particularly suitable for processing smaller surfaces and overhead work
because of its size, its weight and its output.
The machines must not be damp nor operated
in a damp environment for electrical safety
reasons. The machines may only be used for
dry sanding.

from incorrect use.

Dust extractors prevent large accumulations
of dust in the air in the working environment
and dirt collecting in the workplace.
tion and operation
The mains voltage must correspond with the
voltage on the rating plate!
See the following Fig. for connecting or disconnecting the power cord of the tool.
Always switch the machine off
before connecting or disconnecting the power
cable!
The switch (1.1) acts as an ON / OFF switch
(I = ON / 0 = OFF).

The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction
as standard. The sanding dust is extracted
through suction openings in the sanding base
(3.5) and trapped in the turbo-fi lter (3.4).
Electronic control
The DTS 400 EQ has an electronic

The turbo-fi lter has to be changed when it
is so full of dust that the extraction power
diminishes.

External extraction by
an extraction unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the
turbo-fi lter when carrying longer sanding jobs,
it is possible to connect a Festool extractor to
the unit instead of using inbuilt extraction.

In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm)
(4.1) of the extraction unit is connected to
the suction nozzle.
Attaching sand-
ing material
Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening
system. Stickfi x sanding pads allow
the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop
abrasives such as Stickfi x sandpapers
and sanding cloths.

5.1
Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the sanding pad (5.2) and pull it off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not
been damaged by improper use (such as
over heating).
Always use original Festool sand-

Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece
in such a manner that it cannot move while
being sanded.
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 sand-
Maintenance and care
Always remove the plug from
the mains supply socket before carrying out
any work on the machine!
Any maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened may
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
The cooling air vents on the motor housing
must always be free of blockages and clean
to ensure air circulation.
