General Safety Rules
Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fi re and/
or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
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.
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 in-
crease 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.
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.
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 re-
lated hazards.
4) Tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect 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
2
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce 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 dan-
gerous 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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Health hazard by dust
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, and
• 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 work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to fi lter out
microscopic particles. Wash hands
after handling.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Intended use
The Deltex sander can be used to smooth wood,
plastics, metal, steel, composite materials, paintlacquers, fi ller, stopper and similar materials.
Thanks to the triangular shape of the sanding pad
the machine is particularly suitable for processing
tricky corners, edges and grooves.
If explosive or self-igniting dusts are produced
during the sanding of certain materials the
manufacturer’s processing instructions must be
observed.
The user is liable for damage and
injury resulting from incorrect usage!
Electrical connections and starting
The mains voltage must comply with
the voltage specifi ed on the ratings plate!

1.1
Push the switch (1.1) forwards to start the machine. A slight pressure on the rear of the switch
is enough to switch the machine off.
When cold the machine may take a few minutes
to reach maximum speed. This is due to its construction and is not serious.
Electronics
When processing different surfaces it is

at the end of the motor casing. The sanding dust
is then drawn off directly through the extractor
channel in the sanding pad.
When working with wood or if materials are used
which may produce harmful dusts the electrical
tool should be connected to a suitable extractor.

Metalworking
Observe the following safety precau-
tions when working on metals:
• Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker
(FI, PRCD).
• Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor.
• Regularly clear out any dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
• Wear protective goggles.
Tool settings
Always remove the power plug from
the socket before carrying out any work on the
power tool.
Dust extraction
2.1
The sanding pad is made of MPE foam (micro-cellular polyurethane elastomer) and has bevelled
edges (3.3). It has a velour fabric on its top
surface and a Stickfi x covering on its underside.
The velour side of the sanding pad is pressed
against the Stickfi x covering of the sanding base
(3.4) The tool’s sanding base has three centring
protuberances (3.1) at its corners enabling easy
adjustment.
Please note:
The device has been specially developed for work
in corners and on edges. Experience has shown
that this leads to a more point-focal load on the
tip of the sanding base. The heat generated is
naturally higher than when working on the whole
surface since the same pressure is applied to
a smaller surface. Do not apply as much pressure since otherwise the Stickfi x covering of the
sanding pad and the abrasive quickly become
damaged. If the Stickfi x covering on the front tip
of the sanding pad should become worn simply
remove the sanding pad, rotate around 120° and
replace.
If the Stickfi x covering of the sanding base should
become worn the complete base (487406) can
be replaced. Simply loosen the two screws (3.2
and 3.5).
In order to draw off the dust produced during
sanding the hose (Ø 27 mm) of a Festool dust
extractor is attached to the suction adapter (1.2)
Abrasive
Festool can offer perforated Stickfi x abrasives in
grain sizes from P 40 to P 400 for an effective
4
dust extraction. Order numbers can be found in
the corresponding brochures.
The Stickfi x abrasives are simply pressed onto the
Stickfi x sanding pad and pulled off after use.
If the front tip of the abrasive has become worn
it can be removed from the sanding pad, rotated
around 120° and replaced.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use original
Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be
found in the Festool catalog or on the Internet
under www.festool-usa.com.
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This provides
protection and storage for the tool and accessories. The Systainers are stackable and can be
interlocked together. They also can be interlocked
atop Festool CT dust extractors.
4.3
4.2
4.1
- Place one systainer on top of the other.
- Release all four latches on the lower systainer
by pulling back at their top edges (4.1).
- Slide all four latches upward (4.2).
- Snap all four latches back to their fl at position
(4.3) so they engage the stacking tabs of the
upper systainer.
Maintenance and care
Always disconnect the machine at
its mains plug before performing maintenance
work!
Any maintenance and repair work requiring the motor casing to be opened may only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
The vent openings on the motor casing must
always be kept clean and free to ensure a good
circulation of air.
The device is fi tted with self-disconnecting special
brushes. If these become worn the power is automatically interrupted and the device comes to
a standstill. Any maintenance and repair work requiring the motor casing to be opened may only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
