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 [5]
Slide the dust bag onto the machine 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]
.
The start-up mode switches the mobile dust ex-
tractor on as soon as you switch the orbital
sander on. The start-up mode only works in
conjunction with the mains adapter.
If the power tool is used in cordless operation
with a mobile dust extractor, the battery life de-
creases. Reducing the suction power minimises
this effect.
High suction power can impair control of the
power tool. Reducing the suction power mini-
mises this effect.
Recommendation:
Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.
