Safety instructions
General safety instructions
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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 atmo-
spheres, 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 op-
erating 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 elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. 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 in-
crease 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.
6
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your fi nger on the switch or energising 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 bal-
ance 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, jewel-
lery 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
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4 POWER 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or battery pack from the power tool 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 chil-
dren 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 tool‘s 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 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.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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.
Machine-related safety instructions
This machine is designed for sanding. – Please
read all of the safety information, instructions,
illustrations and descriptions delivered with the
machine. If the following instructions are not
observed, this can result in an electric shock,
fi re and/or serious injury.
Do not use this machine to perform work –
such as roughing, brushing, polishing or
disc sanding. Performing tasks for which the
machine is not designed can create hazards
and lead to injury.
Never use accessories that were not specially –
developed and intended for this machine. Just
because an accessory part can be fitted on
your machine does not guarantee danger-free
operation.
The permissible rotational speed of the –
accessory must be at least as high as the
maximum speed specifi ed on the machine.
Accessories that rotate faster than the
permissible level can rupture.
7
The outside diameter and the thickness of –
accessories must be within the specified
size range of the machine. Accessories with
incorrect dimensions cannot be sufficiently
protected or controlled.
The bore diameter of discs, fl anges, support –
plates and all other accessories must fi t the
machine spindle exactly. Accessories with an
unsuitable diameter are out of round, vibrate
excessively and lead to loss of control.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, –
always check accessories such as sanding pads
for nicks or cracks and check support plates
for cracks and excessive wear. Every time the
machine is dropped, check the machine and
accessories for damage, or install undamaged
accessories. Following the check and assembly
of accessories, ensure that all persons are
beyond the rotating range of the tool and run
the machine for one minute at maximum speed.
Damage accessories usually break completely
during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. –
Depending on the application, use a shield
or protective goggles. If practical, wear a
breathing mask, ear protectors, safety gloves
and a work apron suitable to protect against
impact or small sanding or workpiece parts.
The protective goggles must be capable of
blocking fl ying debris caused by the various
work operations. The breathing mask or device
must be capable of fi ltering particles generated
during work. Continuous exposure to loud noise
can cause loss of hearing.
Ensure that persons standing near the machine –
are at a safe distance from the work area. All
persons in the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Parts of the workpiece or
broken accessories can fl y off and cause injury
outside the immediate work area.
Always hold the machine by the insulated –
handles if you intend to perform work that
may pose a risk of cutting into hidden power
cables or your own machine cable. Contact
with live cables transfers an electric current
to metallic machine components and causes
electric shocks.
Keep the power cable away from rotating parts. –
If you lose control, the power cable could be cut
or become stuck and your hand or arm could be
drawn into the rotating parts.
Never set the machine down until the tool has –
stopped completely. Turning tools can catch on
the storage surface, causing you to lose control
of the machine.
Never allow the machine to operate while –
carrying it at your side. The rotating tool can
catch on your clothing by accident and cause
serious cutting injuries.
Clean the air vent slits on your machine on a –
regular basis. The cooling air fan sucks the dust
into the machine and excessive deposits of metal
dust can result in electrical hazards.
Never operate the machine near combustible –
materials. Sparks can ignite these materials.
Never use tools that have to be liquid-cooled. –
Water and other liquid coolants can cause
potentially fatal electric shocks.
Cause and prevention of kickbacks
A kickback is a sudden reaction to jamming or
catching of a rotating disc, a support plate, a
brush or other accessory. Jamming or catching results in a rapid standstill of the rotating
accessory, whereby, as a counter-reaction, an
out-of-control machine is accelerated around the
jamming point in a direction of rotation opposed
to the accessory.
If, for example, a sanding disc is jammed or
caught by the workpiece, the disc circumference
can dig into the workpiece surface at the jamming point, causing the disc to be expelled. The
disc can either fl y towards or away from the user,
depending on the direction of rotation of the disc
at the jamming point. This can also cause sanding
discs to break. A kickback is the result of misuse
of the machine and/or incorrect method of work
or operation and can be avoided by closely observing the following precautionary measures.
Always hold the machine fi rmly and position –
your body and arms such that you can control
any kickback force. Always use the auxiliary
handle, if included in the delivery, to ensure
optimum control over kickbacks or reaction
torques during start-up. The user can control
reaction torques or kickbacks if suitable
precautionary measures are taken.
Never place your hands near rotating tools. –
Tools can kick back over your hand.
Never position your body in the area in which –
the machine moves in the event of a kickback.
A kickback accelerates the machine in the
direction of rotation opposed to the disc at the
jamming point.
Take extra care when working in corners, on –
sharp edges, etc. Avoid kickbacks and prevent
8
the tool from seizing. Corners, sharp edges
or a jump back tend to cause the rotating tool
to catch, thus leading to a loss of control or a
kickback.
Special safety instructions for fi ne sanding
Do not use excessively large sanding discs –
when fi ne sanding. Observe the specifi cations
of the manufacturer when selecting abrasive
discs. A sanding disc that is too large and
protrudes over the sanding pad represents a
cutting injury hazard and can cause catching,
disc tears or kickbacks.
Additional warning notes
Hold the machine fi rmly with both hands and –
assume a stable stance when performing work.
Hold the machine with both hands to guide more
securely.
If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust –
is produced during sanding, the processing
instructions of the material manufacturer must
be observed under all circumstances.
Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during –
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal). Contact with these
dusts, especially inhaling them, can represent a
hazard for operating personnel or persons in the
vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that
apply in your country. Connect the electric power
tool to a suitable extraction system. To protect
your health, wear a P2 protective mask.
Never use machines with a damaged cable. –
Do not touch damaged cables and pull the
plug from the mains power supply if the cable
becomes damaged during work. Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Use a maximum of two extension pipes on the –
machine.
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,
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 microscopic particles. Wash hands after
handling.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
USER MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Commissioning
Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
The mains voltage and the frequency of the f
power source must correspond with the specifi cations on the machine’s name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with f
voltage specifi cations of 120 V may be used.
The switch [1-4] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF). Connecting and detaching the mains power
cable [1-8], see Fig. [2].
WARNING
Extension cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop
in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table adjacent shows you the
correct cord diameter as a function of the cord
length for the LHS 225.

Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly
between 310 and 920 rpm using the adjusting
wheel [1-3]. This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the respective material.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uniform
cutting speed even when under strain.
Changing sanding pads
Insert an Allen key (size 5) into the Allen screw f
[5-1] on the sanding pad.
Hold the sanding pad securely and turn the f
Allen key to release.
In order to further ensure optimum axial run- L
out, you must fi rst clean the bearing surface
for the grinding disk on the driveshaft.
Attach the new sanding pad. f
Tighten the screw f [5-1].
Only attach specifi ed sanding pads to the ma- L
chine.
In order to guarantee optimum suction output, L
the sealing face between the machine and
the grinding disk is ground in during the fi rst
few minutes after the disk has been changed.
During this time, the r.p.m. of the machine is
slightly lower and white foam particles form
during the grinding process. However, they do
not damage the machine.

You can adjust the suction power to match the
surface type, but only when internal extraction
is active (see chapter “Adjusting the internal/
external extraction).
Use the adjusting wheel [1-5] to adjust the f
suction power.
1: Low suction power
6: High suction power
Start with a low suction power (position 1) and f
slowly increase until you can feel that the application pressure has noticeably changed.
A high suction power makes sanding work on L
ceilings and walls less tiring.
Excessive suction power can cause the ma- L
chine to vibrate and become more diffi cult to
guide. The machine may also be overloaded.
This activates the protective circuit. The red
diode flashes slowly. The electronic circuit
switches to recovery speed. If this happens,
you must stop working immediately until the
machine has cooled down again.
