Auxiliary handle
8.1
The auxiliary handle (Accessories, 8.1) can be screwed onto either the right or left of the gear head.
Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being sanded.
Never overload the tool by using too much pressure! The best sanding results are achieved when applying moderate pressure. Sanding performance and quality depend primarily on the choice of the right abrasive.
For safe guidance, hold the tool with both hands.
Application
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend for different sanding and polishing work.
Metalworking
Observe the following safety precau- tions when working on metals:
• |
(FI, PRCD). |
• Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor. |
• Regularly clear out any dust accumulations in |
the motor housing. |
Pad brake
9.1 |
The rubber collar (9.1) prevents the sanding pad from revving up to maximum speed in an un- controlled manner during eccentric motion (fine sanding). Because the collar wears down in the course of time, it has to be replaced by a new one (order no. 465472) as soon as there is any reduction in the braking effect.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use original Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be found in the Festool catalog or on the Internet under
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique system container, called "Systainer". This provides protection and storage for the tool and acces- sories. The Systainers are stackable and can be interlocked together. They also can be interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
• Wear protective goggles.

Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine!
Always keep the tool and in particular the ventila- tion slots clean.
-Place one systainer on top of the other.
-Release all four latches on the lower systainer by pulling back at their top edges (10.1).
-Slide all four latches upward (10.2).
-Snap all four latches back to their flat position (10.3) so they engage the stacking tabs of the upper systainer.
