Intended use

The PLANEX is designed for sanding primed dry- wall constructions, ceilings and walls in internal and external applications as well as removing carpet residue, coats of paint, coverings, adhe- sives and loose plaster.

We recommend using the Festool dust extrac- tor CT 36 E AC-LHS when sanding large filled surfaces, which generates large quantities of dust.

The user bears the responsibility for damage and accidents caused by improper use.

Commissioning

WARNING

Risk of accident if the machine is operated using unauthorised voltages or frequencies.

f The mains voltage and the frequency of the power source must correspond with the speci- fications on the machine’s name plate.

fIn North America, only Festool machines with voltage specifications of 120 V may be used.

The switch [1-4] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 = OFF). Connecting and detaching the mains power cable [1-8], see Fig. [2].

Extension cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have suf- ficient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure of the motor. The table adjacent shows you the correct cord diameter as a function of the cord length for the LHS 225.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords. Never use two extension cords together. Instead, use one long one.

Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the cord.
