The aim of every Festool power tool is to make your day-to-day work 
better and more effective. With this in mind, we have worked closely 
with specialists in the detailing trade to bring you the new rotary polisher SHINEX. The new contoured shapeoffers numerous gripping 
options which make polishing noticeably more comfortable. This SHINEX 
has low weight and optimum weight distribution, making tool guidance 
even easier and more secure. The special variable speed trigger allows 
you to adapt the speed perfectly to suit whatever polishing job you 
happen to be working on.
Not only comfortable to operate the dynamics have also improved 
thanks to the newly developed double reduction gearing. This new 
feature ensures a high performance combined with increase endurance.
Backing pads, polishing pads, polishes, finishing cleaner, 
microfibre cloth: ever ything you need per fectly designed for use 
with the SHINE X. Specially developed foams and compounds 
ensure optimum polishing results and longer life for backing and 
polishing pads.

Built for dazzling performance.  
From 400 to 2100 revs. 
Power is one thing, applying it in the right amount as 
it’s needed is another: the conveniently positioned 
variable speed trigger lets you start the SHINEX 
gently at a low speed and then speed it up to as much 
as 2100 rpm, depending on the set torque level. The 
trigger can be locked to keep the speed constant. The 
newly developed double reduction gearing means 
that the SHINEX always has enough power and 
stamina in reserve for hours of intensive polishing 
work. And not just in the higher speed range, but also 
in the particularly demanding lower range. The heat 
produced by the motor is continually drawn off by an 
integrated heat sink. That’s not just good for the 
bearings, but also makes itself felt under your grip: 
you’ll notice that the gripping zones of the SHINEX 
stay cool over long periods of use. Along with the 
1 – Easy to guide
With a much smaller distance bet ween the body and the pad when 
compared with conventional two-level polishing tools, the SHINEX 
is easy to guide in any position. It lies securely balanced on the 
surface, allowing sensitive work close to the sur face even in hardto-reach spots. The soft-grip material makes it pleasant and

secure to hold.

ergonomic shape of the handle and the high-quality soft-grip material, 
that makes for pleasant and secure guiding of the tool. And to permit 
optimum transfer of power to the surface, the SHINEX has been positioned lower down: the minimal distance between the body and the pad 
allows sensitive and precise polishing, makes even hard-to-reach spots 
accessible and guarantees top polishing results due to a low, balanced 
centre of gravity.
2 – Sturdy and durable
The integrated heat sink in the front gripping zone of the SHINEX 
keeps the temperature there noticeably lower and a fan assists 
the removal of motor heat from the housing (see diagram). That 
means you can work for longer with greater comfort. At the same 
time, the double reduction gearing extends the service life of the 
tool. Dust and fluff sucked into the body is kept out by a filter. 
3 – Exactly the right amount of power
The variable speed trigger on the SHINEX 
permits controlled speed increase from 400 up 
to the maximum rpm within each of a total of six 
speed levels. For polishing at constant speed, 
the trigger is simply locked in place.

The variable speed trigger permits polishing at a speed precisely adjusted to 
suit the task in hand. For a longer period of polishing work at a constant speed, 
the trigger can be locked. The pad then rotates at the maximum rpm allowed by 
the selected speed level.
Secure and fast: the spindle lock allows the backing pads to be changed easily 
with no tools required. The slightly lowered position of the button prevents it 
being pressed while polishing, and the sophisticated mechanical design 
provides protection for the gearing as well.
 The minimal distance from the pad to the tool body allows more sensitive 
control when polishing, reducing the risk of the tool tipping over. The back of 
the housing functions as a secure rest point, so that the polishing pad and the 
surface on which the tool is rested are not dirtied. 
 Constantly high performance: the dust fi lter protects the motor from dir t and 
dust. Together with the temperature-dependent overload protection, it ensures 
longer service life. 
Compact and ergonomic: the SHINEX weighs just 2.1 kg. Pleasant soft-grip 
material and the tool’s slim design make for a secure hold in any position.
 Sturdy and durable: the abrasion-resistant PU cable. 
The double reduction gearing enables polishing in a variable speed range from 
400 to 2100 revolutions per minute and gives the SHINEX even better performance and resilience for long periods of use. The built-in heat sink ensures a 
pleasant grip temperature as well.

The new SHINEX – because for results that 
shine, you need a tool that shines.
It’s a subtle effect which turns a 
bright coat of paint into a surface 
perfectly restored and polished to a 
high gloss. The new SHINEX plays a 
vital role in achieving that effect. 
With its double gear reduction and 
variable speed range, it enables 
careful, precise polishing of sensitive paintwork. The SHINEX has 
enough power to cover large 
surfaces, and also demonstrates 
great flexibility when polishing 
hard-to-reach edges, curves and 
deep-set corrugations.
Its ergonomic, compact shape and 
variety of gripping options allow the 
SHINEX to be guided securely and 
comfortably throughout the entire 
task. It lies perfectly on the surface 
in any situation and with a total 
weight of just 2.1 kg even long 
polishing jobs won’t leave you 
exhausted.
The SHINEX is also outstanding 
when it comes to preparation work: 
for example when changing backing 
pads using the spindle lock, with no 
tools required. Or when changing 
the polishing pad, by conveniently 
resting the SHINEX on the back of 
its housing.
A variety of gripping positions allow the SHINEX to be guided comfortably and optimally in any situation. Giving 
you a per fect surface more easily and in less time.
