8 Working with the machine
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move.
Observe the following information:
– Do not overload the machine by applying
too much pressure. The best sanding re
sults are achieved with moderate applica
tion pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on selecting the
correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands – one on
the motor housing and one on the gear
head – to ensure safe guidance.
For sanding, we recommend the following set
tings for the adjusting wheel [1-2]:

9 Service and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always pull the mains plug from the socket
before performing any servicing and main
tenance work.
► All maintenance and repair work which re
quires the motor housing to be opened
should always be carried out by an author
ised service workshop.
WARNING
Incorrect testing may damage the machine
and injure users
► Special information is required for testing
the electrical safety. This is available from
your country's Festool service workshop.
Customer service and repairs must
only be carried out by the manufac
turer or service workshops. Find the
nearest address at:
www.festool.co.uk/service
Always use original Festool spare
parts. Order no. at:
www.festool.co.uk/service
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the motor housing
clean and free of blockages.
In the event of a slowdown in performance or
increased vibrations, blow and clean cooling air
openings.
9.1 Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction chan
nels in the machine [4-1] roughly once a week
(particularly if sanding synthetic resin, in the
case of wet sanding and if sanding plaster) us
ing a small flat brush or a cloth.
9.2 Cleaning the inside of the power tool
Regularly clean the inside of the power tool at
the bottom of the fan, [4-3] otherwise the vibra
tion values worsen as a result of the dust accu
mulation.
9.3 Replace the sanding pad and sanding
pad brake
The rubber sleeve [4-2] brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the
sanding pad. The sanding pad brake is almost
wear-free thanks to the pins used.
