Switch (2.1) is an on/off switch. For continuous use it can be engaged with the lateral locking button (2.2). Pressing the switch again releases the lock.

Electronic control

The ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/5 EQ has an ELECTRONIC electronic control with which the rotational speed can be varied step-free.

This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to the optimum level according to the material concerned. The speed is set using the rotary control button (2.3).

The numbers on the rotary control button represent approximately the following strokes per minute:

Dust extraction

Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of dust in the air in the working environment and dirt collecting in the workplace.

Inboard extraction

The machines are fitted with inbuilt extraction as standard. The sanding dust is extracted through suction openings in the sanding base (3.4) and trapped in the turbo-filter (3.2).

The turbo-filter has to be changed when it is so full of dust that the extraction power diminishes.

Inserting a turbo-filter

- Push the front cardboard section of the tur- bo-filter with the sealing lip (3.1) onto the extraction nozzle (3.8) of the filter holder

-Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.3) onto the retaining strip (3.9) of the filter hol- der

-Push the filter holder with its opening (3.6) as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (3.5) of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary knob (3.7).

External extraction by an

extraction unit

In order to avoid frequent changing of the tur- bo-filter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit instead of using inbuilt extraction.

In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm (4.1)) of the extraction unit is connected to the suction nozzle.

Attaching sanding material

The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily onto the Stickfix sanding base.

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