Dust extraction
Integral dust extractor with long-life dust bag
As standard, the sanders are equipped with an inte-
gral dust extractor. The sanding dust is extracted
through extraction openings in the sanding pad and
is collected in the dust bag.
Installing the dust bag [4]
Slide the dust bag adapter onto the extractor
connection piece.
Slide the dust bag onto the adapter until it clicks
into place.
If the suction power is decreasing, empty the
dust bag.
Press the dust bag onto the actuating elements.
Remove the dust bag by moving it towards the
rear.
Open the flap on the dust bag.
Empty the dust bag and dispose of the waste.
Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust bag
when carrying out sanding work for a long period of
time, you can connect Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor (with an extraction hose diameter of 27 mm)
to the extractor connection piece [1-4] .
Recommendation: Use anti-static extractor hose!
This helps reduce the electric charge.
WARNING
Dust hazard
 Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
 Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
