5.2

The self-adhesive sanding material (5.2) is sim- ply pressed onto the sanding base (5.1) and held safely in place by the Stickfix sanding base velcro surface.

Choice and installation of the grinding disks

The appliance can be fitted with three grinding disks (5.1) of different hardness depending on the surface to be treated.

•Hard: coarse grinding on surfaces, grinding at edges.

•Soft: universal for coarse and fine grinding, for flat and curved surfaces.

•Super-soft:fine grinding on formed parts, curves, radii. Do not use on edges!

The grinding disks and the tool-holding fixture on the appliance are equipped with a positive holder (6.1).

Make sure the grinding disk is correctly positioned before screwing it tight.

Working with the tool

Never overload the tool by using too much pressure! The best sanding results are achieved when applying moderate pressure.

The ETS 150/3 EQ gives the best surface quality and low abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ provides high abrasion with good surface quality. The sanding performance and quality depend mainly on the choice of the right sanding material. Festool offers the appropriate sanding material for all applica- tions (see Festool catalogue or on the Internet under www.festool-usa.com).

Maintenance and care

Any maintenance or repair work re- quiring the motor housing to be opened may only be carried out by an authorised service workshop. Maintenance or repair work carried out by an unauthorised person can lead to the wrong con- nection of the power leads or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.

Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine!

Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
