Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and Stickfi x
sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily onto
the Stickfi x sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material (5.2) is simply
pressed onto the sanding base (5.1) and held safely
in place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
Choice and installation of
the grinding disks
The appliance can be fi tted with three grinding disks
(5.1) of different hardness depending on the surface
to be treated.
• Hard: coarse grinding on surfaces, grinding at
edges.
• Soft: universal for coarse and fi ne grinding, for
fl at and curved surfaces.
• Super-soft: fi ne grinding on formed parts, curves,
radii. Do not use on edges!
The grinding disks and the tool-holding fi xture on
the appliance are equipped with a positive holder
(6.1).
Make sure the grinding disk is cor-
rectly positioned before screwing it tight.
Working with the tool
Never overload the tool by using
too much pressure! The best sanding results are
achieved when applying moderate pressure.
The ETS 150/3 EQ gives the best surface quality
and low abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ provides high
abrasion with good surface quality. The sanding
performance and quality depend mainly on the
choice of the right sanding material. Festool offers
the appropriate sanding material for all applications
(see Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
www.festoolusa.com).
We recommend the following settings on the rotary
control (2.3) for electronic machines:
5 - 6
• sanding with max. drive
• sanding old paint
• sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
• interim sanding of paint on surfaces
4 - 5
• sanding of thinly applied primer
• sanding of wood with sanding vlies
