If your Festool LHS-E 225 Sander switches off during operation and beeps three times, it could be due to a blocked cool air filter. Clean the cool air filter on the LHS-E 225. Alternatively, excessive pressure may have activated the overheating protection; in this case, let the power tool cool down for approximately 15 minutes and then apply less pressure during use.
What to do if my Festool LHS-E 225 Sander switches off while working and beeps three times?
If your Festool LHS-E 225 switches off and beeps three times, it could be due to a blocked cool air filter (clean it) or excessive pressure activating the overheating protection (let the power tool cool down for about 15 minutes and then apply less pressure).
Why is the extraction power insufficient on my Festool PLANEX easy LHS-E 225 EQ Sander?
Insufficient extraction power on your Festool Sander can stem from several causes. The filter element might be blocked or clogged; clean it regularly, either by maximizing suction and covering the nozzle for 10 seconds to initiate automatic cleaning, or by manually cleaning the filter element. Ensure the disposal bag is correctly inserted with the holes inside the container, and that you're using a disposal bag (grey bag) instead of a filter bag. Check that the suction power isn't set too low and reduce the speed of LHS-E 225. Also, inspect the suction hose for blockages or kinks, empty a full disposal bag, ensure the brush segment is correctly fitted (unless sanding close to edges), and align the sanding disc holes with those on the sanding pads.
Why is the Festool PLANEX easy LHS-E 225 EQ Sander removing excessive material from the workpiece?
Excessive material removal from the workpiece with your Festool Sander may be due to the LHS-E 225 speed being too high; reduce the speed. Alternatively, the grit on the abrasive might be too coarse; select a finer grit.
How to improve surface quality with Festool Sander?
If the surface quality isn't perfect when using your Festool Sander, consider these factors: you may be using an incorrect abrasive grit, so select a finer grit. Ensure that the drying times of the spackling paste are observed according to the technical data sheets and manufacturer's recommendations. If using spackling paste with a high percentage of filler/soft filler, select a finer grit, such as P180. Avoid setting the power tool down on the surface while it's running to prevent groove formation; place the power tool in position before switching it on. Always use a detachable brush segment when working on the surface.
Why does my Festool PLANEX easy LHS-E 225 EQ Sander leave sanding marks on the surface?
Sanding marks appearing on the surface when using your Festool Sander can occur if the sanding pad is placed down at an angle; ensure the sanding pad is placed down so that it is level. Also, if the abrasive grit is too coarse for very soft spackling paste, choose a finer abrasive grit (abrasive Brilliant 2 available up to grit P 320).
How to fix sanding marks on the surface with my Festool PLANEX easy LHS-E 225 EQ?
Sanding marks on the surface when using your Festool Sander can occur if the sanding pad is placed down at an angle (place it down so that it is level) or if the abrasive grit is too coarse for very soft spackling paste (choose a finer abrasive grit, such as Brilliant 2 up to grit P 320).
Why does my Festool LHS-E 225 Sander not run smoothly over the surface?
If your Festool LHS-E 225 does not run smoothly over the surface, it may be due to hard spackling paste or hard sub-layers (reduce speed). Another cause may be a deformed sanding pad (use a new sanding pad).
Why Festool LHS-E 225 Sander is not working?
If your Festool LHS-E 225 Sander isn't working, first ensure the plug it is securely connected. If that's not the issue, there may be an interruption to the power supply. Try switching the power tool off and then on again.
What to do if my Festool LHS-E 225 Sander is not working and beeps three times?
If your Festool LHS-E 225 Sander isn't working and beeps three times upon attempting to switch it on, it's likely that the overheating protection is active. Allow the power tool to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before attempting to switch it on again.
