To avoid sanding grooves on the surface when using your Festool sander: * If a hard sanding pad is set down on the surface at an angle, use sanding pad IP with interface pad. * If the sanding pad is too hard or the abrasive grit is too coarse for very soft repair compound, use sanding pad IP with interface pad. * Select a finer abrasive grit (Brilliant 2 abrasive with grit up to P 320).
What to do if Festool Sander PLANEX switches off during work?
If the Festool PLANEX switches off and the red LED flashes, it could be due to a clogged dust filter or excessive pressure activating the overheating protection. Try cleaning the dust filter. If that doesn't work, let the machine cool down and apply less pressure during use. In extreme cases, use an external extraction system and set the extraction control to setting 6.
Why is the extraction power insufficient on my Festool Sander PLANEX?
Insufficient extraction power on your Festool PLANEX sander can be caused by a blocked filter element, an incorrectly inserted disposal bag, or using a paper bag instead of a disposal bag. Regularly clean the filter element by setting the suction power to maximum and covering the nozzle until the automatic cleaning cycle starts, repeating for the second filter half, or clean it mechanically. Ensure the disposal bag is correctly inserted with the holes inside the container, and always use a black disposal bag, not a paper bag.
Why does my Festool PLANEX LHS 225 EQ PLANEX bump over the surface?
If your Festool PLANEX sander is bumping over the surface, it might be due to suction power being too strong, hard repair compound, or hard sub-layers. Try reducing the suction power or switching to external extraction. You may also need to reduce the speed.
Why does my Festool P L A N E X Sander bump over the surface?
If your Festool P L A N E X Sander is bumping over the surface, it could be due to several reasons. The suction power might be too strong, so try reducing it or switching to external extraction. It could also be due to hard repair compound or hard sub-layers, in which case you should also reduce suction power or switch to external extraction. Finally, try reducing the speed.
What to do if extraction power is insufficient on Festool PLANEX LHS 225 EQ Sander?
If you're experiencing insufficient extraction power with your Festool Sander, several factors could be the cause. The filter element may be blocked or clogged, so clean it regularly. You can do this by setting the suction power control to the maximum and covering the nozzle until the automatic cleaning cycle starts, or by cleaning the filter element mechanically. Also, check for damage and replace the filter element regularly. Ensure the disposal bag is inserted correctly with the holes inside the container, and that you're using a disposal bag instead of a filter bag. Adjust the suction power to a higher setting and reduce the speed. If using internal extraction, increase suction power or switch to external extraction. For repair compounds with high filler, use an external extractor and ...
How to improve surface quality with Festool Planer?
To improve surface quality with your Festool Planer, ensure you're using the correct abrasive grit; select a finer grit if necessary. Adhere to the drying times recommended in the technical data sheets and manufacturer recommendations for the repair compound. Reduce the suction power of the PLANEX if it's too strong. If you're using repair compound with a high percentage of filler, select a finer grit, such as P180. Place the machine in position before switching it on to avoid groove formation. Always use detachable brush segments when working on surfaces.
How to fix sanding grooves on surface with Festool Planer?
To address sanding grooves on the surface when using the Festool Planer, use sanding pad IP with interface pad if a hard sanding pad was set down on the surface at an angle or if the sanding pad is too hard or abrasive grit is too coarse for very soft repair compound. Select a finer abrasive grit, such as Brilliant 2 abrasive with grit up to P 320.
Why does Festool PLANEX Sander bump over the surface?
If your Festool PLANEX sander bumps over the surface, it could be due to: * Suction power being too strong. Reduce suction power or switch to external extraction if necessary. * Hard repair compound or hard sublayers. Reduce suction power or switch to external extraction if necessary. * The speed being too high. Reduce the speed.
Why is the Festool Sander removing excessive material?
If your Festool PLANEX sander is removing excessive material, consider these factors: * Reduce the speed of the PLANEX. * Reduce suction power or switch to external extraction if the suction power is too strong. * If working with repair compound that has a high percentage of filler, switch on the external extractor connected to the PLANEX and set the extraction control to setting 6; in extreme cases, reduce the speed. * Select a finer grit if the current abrasive is too coarse.
