.
The switch
[1-1]
is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).
In case of a power failure or if the mains con-
nector is removed, move the on/off switch im-
mediately to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
Settings
Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures 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 ma-
chine).
Replacing the sanding pad [3]
An optimal work result can only be achieved
using original accessories and consumables.
The use of non-original accessories or con-
sumables invalidates the right to claim under war-
ranty.
Warning!
Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the ma-
chine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
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).
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-
er source must correspond with the specifica-
tions on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
