GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Personal safety
3 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
tool. Do not use while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
4 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can get caught in moving parts.
5 Avoid accidental starts. Before
connecting the air supply make sure that
the tool is switched off. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
6 Remove adjusting keys or tools 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.
7 Do not overreach. Stand on both feet
and keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
8 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
9 Do not abuse the hose. Never carry or
pull the tool by the hose. Keep hose away
from heat, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged hoses immediately.
Damaged hoses increase the risk of accidents.
10 Use clamps or other suitable means 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 Disconnect the compressed-air hose
from the tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
14 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
15 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.
16 Check for misalignment or binding of
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.
17 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
18 Tool service may be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
19 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
injury.

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
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
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.

Use for intended purpose
As specified, the machines are designed for
sanding wood, plastic, metal, stone, composite,
paintwork, filler and similar materials. Material
containing asbestos must not be processed with
these tools.
The user is liable for any damage
and injury resulting from incorrect usage!
Functional description
Connection and start-up
Make sure that the pneumatic
tool is switched off when you connect the
compressed-air supply.
Compressed-air treatment
The Festool service unit should always be used
to ensure that Festool pneumatic tools function
correctly. Consisting of a filter, control unit,
condensation drain and lubricator, the service
unit cleans and lubricates the compressed air
and keeps it free of condensation.
For thios tool, the lubricator should be set so
that a drop is applied to the compressed air
approx. every 7-10 minutes.
Damage that occurs as a result of incorrect
compressed-air treatment is excluded from
warranty claims.
We recommend a service unit with a 3/8"
connector for up to two Festool pneumatic tools.
The compressor used to supply the compressed
air should supply at 20 cfm and an operating
pressure of 87 psi. The diameter of the piping
system must be sufficiently large (at least 9mm
/ 1/2).
IAS 2 hose connector
The eccentric sander is a pneumatic tool for
connection to the Festool IAS 2 system.
This hose system combines three functions in
one hose:
- Compressed air supply (1.1)
- Exhaust air extraction (1.2)
- Dust extraction (1.3)

Connection and disconnection see Fig. 2.
IAS 2 connecting system see accompanying
instruction sheet.
Starting
Pressing the lever (3.1) switches on the
pneumatic tool. Releasing the lever switches
the tool off again.
Tool settings
Always disconnect the tool from
the compressed air supply before doing any
work on the tool.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the sanding speed steplessly
between 4,000 and 8,000 rpm using the
adjusting wheel (3.2). This enables you to
optimize the speed to suit the material.
Suction unit
Sanding dust is extracted through the extraction
channels in the sanding pad and taken di-rectly
to the material removal point. To ensure
optimized dust extraction, we recommend using
a Festool dust extractor with automatic switchon/switch-off device for compressed-air tools.
In order to prevent damage to the
pneumatic motor, dust extraction must be
allowed to run through the pneumatic tool when
it is at standstill.
Sanding pads
Sanding pads have different
weights depending on their diameter. Using a
sanding pads of the incorrect size will cause
excessive vibration of the tool.
Only use sanding pads with an undamaged burr
layer.
Sanding pads are available in three degrees of
hardness to suit the type of application:
- Hard: high edge strength, for removing coarse
material from surfaces and for sanding edges.
- Soft: universal for coarse and fine sanding,
with elastic structure for even and curved
surfaces.
- Super soft: high elasticity, for smooth fine
sanding of moulded parts, curves, radii. Do
not use on edges.
Assembly - see Fig. 4. Make sure the positivefit supports on the sanding pad (4.1) are flush
with the ones on the tool (4.2).
Abrasive
Self-adhesive abrasives, such as Stickfix
sandpaper, and sanding cloths can be affixed
to the Stickfix sanding pads.
To affix the abrasive, simply press it onto the
sanding pad and remove it after use.
The abrasive must be centered on
the pad and the holes aligned with those on
the sanding pad.

Lubrication
If the tool has not been used for an extended
period, such as a weekend, introduce 1 or 2
drops of lubricating oil into the compressed-air
supply (5.3) on the tool prior to use.
Replacing the silencer
The silencer on the IAS 2 connecting piece must
be replaced at regular intervals to maintain the
power of the pneumatic tool.
Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend that the extraction channels in
the tool (5.4) be cleaned once a week using a
small pipe-cleaner brush or a cloth (especially
when sanding resin filler).
Accessories, tools
Maintenance and care
Always disconnect the tool from
the compressed air supply before doing any
work on the tool.
Any maintenance or repair work requiring the
motor housing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorized service workshop.
Vanes
We recommend that the vanes on the motor
be replaced after approx. 500 operating hours.
Sanding pad brake
The collar (5.1) makes contact with the sanding
pad, thus preventing uncontrolled vibration of
the sanding pad. This collar wears out over time
and must be replaced should brake fading occur.
The sanding pad must be removed for this. You
can then remove the collar from the snap-on
fastener (5.2) and replace it with a new one.
For safety reasons, only use
original Festool accessories and tools!
Accessory and tool order numbers can be found
in your Festool catalog.
