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 tool and in particular the ventilation slots clean.
Sanding pad brake
The rubber collar (8.1) prevents the sanding pad from revving up to maximum speed in an uncontrolled manner during eccentric motion (fine sanding) .
Because the collar wears down in the course of time, it must be replaced by a new one (order no. 453 388) as soon as there is any reduction in the braking effect.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use ori- ginal Festool accessories and tools!
