8Working with the machine
Observe the following instructions:
–Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
–Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.
For sanding, we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and
free of any obstruction.
In the event of a slowdown in performance or in-
creased vibrations, blow and clean cooling air
openings.
9.1 Sanding pad brake
The rubber sleeve
[4-2]
brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sand-
ing pad. This must be replaced if the braking effect
decreases.
9.2 Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction channels in
the machine
[4-1]
roughly once a week (particular-
ly if sanding synthetic resin, in the case of wet sand-
ing and if sanding plaster) using a small flat brush
or a cloth.
10 Accessories
Use only original Festool sanding pads. Low-quality
sanding and polishing pads may cause serious ma-
chine imbalances that decrease the quality of the
work results and increase wear on the power tool.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool.com".
