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 con-
ditions. 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.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Power Tool Safety Warn-
ings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings 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 or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, 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
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 a 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
balance at all times. This enables better control of
3
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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
dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 the 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 and accessories. 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 opera-
tions different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
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 instruc-
tions
– 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.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
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 INJU
RY, USER MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood,
plastic, metal, stone, composite materials, paint/
varnish, fi lling material and similar materials.
Materials with an asbestos content must not be
processed with these tools.
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.
The user bears sole responsibil-
1.21.1
ity for any damage or accidents resulting from
incorrect use.
Electrical connection and opera-
tion
The mains voltage must be the same as that
specifi ed on the ratings plate!
The switch (1.1) is used to switch the tool on and
off. The switch can be locked with the button (1.2)
on the side for continuous operation. The switch
can be released by pressing again.

2.1
Electronics (RS 2 E)
The RS 2 E 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). The numbers on the rotary control button
represent approximately the following stroke/
orbit speeds:
Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and
dirt collecting in the workplace.
3.1 3.2
3.33.4
Inboard extraction
The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction as
standard. Push the fi lter holder (3.3) with its opening as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle
(3.4) of the machine and clamp tight by turning
rotary knob (3.1).
The sanding dust is extracted through suction
openings in the sanding base and trapped in
the turbo-fi lter (3.2). The turbo-fi lter has to be
changed when it is so full of dust that the extraction power diminishes.
External extraction by an extrac-
tion unit
4.2
4.1
In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbofi lter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is
possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit
instead of using inbuilt extraction. Connect the
hose (Ø 27 mm (4.1) from a Festool dust extractor
to the extraction outlet on the tool (4.2).
6
Sanding pad
The standard STF 115 x 225 mm Stickfi x sanding
pad can be exchanged for the 115 x 225 mm sanding pad for use with clamping paper. Loosen the
six fastening screws (5.1).
Both sanding pads (with and without Stickfi x covering) are also available with an edge protector
(KS) to protect the edge of the pad from premature
damage.
Abrasives
5.1
Always use original Festool sanding
materials!
Stickfi x abrasives
Self-adhesive abrasives such as Stickfi x sanding
disks and sheepskin polishers can be attached to
the Stickfi x sanding pads. Simply press the abrasives onto the sanding pads and remove after use.
Please note: Only use sanding pads with an
undamaged Stickfi x coating. Before use, check
whether the adhesive layer has been damaged
due to improper use (e.g. melting)
Clamped sandpaper
6.1
In addition to the Stickfi x abrasives, Festool also
offers perforated abrasives for clamp-fitting.
Unperforated sandpaper can be perforated with
the Festool “Lochfi x” punching device.
Start clamping the abrasive on the back of the
tool by raising the clamping lever (6.1) and thus
opening the clamping device. Insert abrasive up
to limit stop and lower clamping lever into initial
position. Place the abrasive on the sanding pad,
pull taught and clamp on the front.

Working with the machine
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).
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be
taken when processing metals for safety reasons:
- connect a residual current operated device in
series before the tool,
- connect tool to a suitable dust extractor,
- clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.

Maintenance and care
Any maintenance or repair work
requiring the motor housing to be opened (including power cord replacement) may only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Maintenance or repair work carried out by an
unauthorised person can lead to the wrong connection of the power leads or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying out any work
on the machine!
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use original Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
www.festoolusa.com.
Additional handle
