Safety instructions
General safety instructions
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire 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 atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
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.
d.
Never leave the power tool unattended.
Only
leave the power tool when the tool in use has
come to a complete standstill.
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.
Unmodified 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 conditions.
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.
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 influence 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
finger 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
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 dust-related 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
9
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 children 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
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
b.
Only use original Festool parts for repair and
maintenance.
The use of incompatible accessories or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
Machine-related safety instructions
–
Dust that is harmful to your health may be produced as you work (e.g. paint products containing lead and some types of wood).
Contact with
or inhalation of this dust may pose a risk for the
operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Observe the safety regulations that apply in your
country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect your
health. In enclosed spaces, ensure that
there is sufficient ventilation and connect an extraction system.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
–
Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for example sanding pad or polishing felt, with water and
allow to dry.
Work equipment soaked in oil may
combust spontaneously.
–
Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the
grinding material and the sander. Always empty
the dust container before taking a break.
Swarf
in the filter bag or filter of the mobile dust extractor may self-ignite in unfavourable conditions such as flying sparks when grinding metals.
Particular danger exists if the swarf is mixed with
paint, polyurethane residue or other chemical
materials and the grinding material is hot after
long periods of work.
–
If the power tool is dropped or falls, check for
damage to the machine and sanding pad. Remove
the sanding pad for closer inspection. Have the
damaged parts repaired before use.
Broken sanding pads and damaged machines can cause injuries and machine instability.
–
Always use original Festool sanding pads.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
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 ven-
tilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER MUST
READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
10
Intended use

.
The switch
[1-1]
is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).
In case of a power failure or if the mains connector is removed, move the on/off switch immediately to the Off position. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
Settings
Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if the
machine is used as intended (reasonable contact
pressure), a constant sanding speed is achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set
[1-3]
between 6000 and
12000 min
-1
using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter Working with the machine).
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the power source must correspond with the specifications on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.

out, the entire sanding pad can be replaced:
Undo the four screws.
Remove the sanding pad by pulling it down-
wards.
Attach the new sanding pad.
Use four screws to tighten it by hand (2.5 Nm).
Attaching sanding accessories using Stick-
Fix [4]
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix sanding cloth can be attached quickly and simply to the
StickFix sanding pad.
Affix the self-adhesive sanding accessory to the
sanding pad.
