GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
1 Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2 Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4a Grounded tools must be plugged into an
outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
4b Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other.) This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
5 Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6 Dont expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8 When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked W-
A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
9 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
10 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
11 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12 Remove adjusting keys or switches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
13 Do not overreach. Stand on both feet an
keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
Tool use and care
15 Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
16 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18 Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
19 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.

21 Check for misalignment or binding of
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 filter out microscopic
particles.
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22 Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
23 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
24 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorised parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood,
plastic, composite materials, paint / varnish,
filling 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.

Class II Construction
The user bears sole responsibility
for any damage or accidents resulting from
incorrect use.
Electrical connection 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
ELECTRONIC
= ON / 0 = OFF).
Electronic control
The ES 125 EQ has an electronic control
with which the rotational speed can be
varied step-free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to
the optimum level according to the material
concerned.
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(2.1).
Inserting a turbo-filter
- Push the filter holder with its opening (3.2)
as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle
(3.1) of the machine and clamp tight by
turning rotary knob (3.3).
- Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-filter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the
extraction nozzle (3.6) of the filter holder
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9)
onto the retaining strip (3.8) of the filter holder
The numbers on the rotary control button
represent approximately the following strokes
per minute:
Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and
dirt collecting in the workplace.
Inboard extraction
The machines are fitted with inbuilt extraction
as standard. The sanding dust is extracted
through suction openings in the sanding base
(3.5) and trapped in the turbo-filter (3.4).
The turbo-filter 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-filter 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 (Æ 27 mm (4.1))
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle.
Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and
Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and
easily onto the Stickfix sanding base.
4
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
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.
