12 Rotex Series Dual Mode Sanders
Changing Sandpaper
The sandpaper is held in place with a hook & loop system,
and can be changed by simply pulling off the old disk and
pressing on a new one. However, for the integral dust collec-
tion, make sure to align the holes in the sandpaper with the
dust extraction inlets in the sanding pad.
Connecting a Dust Extractor
The dust port on the back of the sander connects to a
Festool 27mm vacuum hose. To connect the hose, rock it
back and forth over the ribs while pressing inward.

Hose
The dust port on the RO150 can be removed for polishing
or other operations that do not require dust extraction by
pressing in on the release lever and sliding the port off the
sander.

Connecting the Plug-It Power Cord
The sander comes equipped with a removable Plug-It power
cord. The cord can be removed for easier storage of the
tool. To install the power cord, insert the cord into the inlet
(port) on the tool with the key and keyway aligned, and
twist the locking ring ¼-turn until it clicks. Reverse the
procedure to remove the cord.
NOTICE: Make sure to fully tighten the plug-it cord
a full quarter-turn until it clicks. If the plug is not
fully locked, the socket and cord can overheat and be
damaged.
NOTE: The 18 gauge plug-it cord is interchangeable
with other tools that use the same size cord, but it
cannot be used with larger tools, such as routers and
saws. The plug has an extra key to prevent it from
being used on a larger tool that would otherwise
damage the cord. Larger cords may be used with
smaller tools, but not the reverse.

Setting the Variable Speed
The speed of the sander is adjustable with the speed control
dial. Most operations are best performed at full speed, but
a lower speed can sometimes improve control or reduce
aggressiveness for ner operations, such as polishing or
bufng. The speed may be adjusted with the motor either
on or off. The slowest speed is 1 and the highest speed is 6.
