Working with the tool, Maintenance and care

Always use original Festool sanding materials!

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.

The sanding performance and quality depend mainly on the choice of the right sanding material. Festool offers the appropriate sanding material for all applications (see Festool catalogue).

We recommend the following settings on the rotary control (2.1) for electronic machines:

5 - 6

-sanding with max. drive

-sanding old paint

-sanding wood and veneer prior to painting

-interim sanding of paint on surfaces

4 - 5

-sanding of thinly applied primer

-sanding of wood with sanding vlies

-sanding edges on wooden parts

-smoothing primed wooden surfaces.

3 - 4

-sanding full wooden and veneer edges

-sanding in the grooves/rebates of windows and doors

-interim paint sanding on edges

-pre-sanding natural wood windows with sanding vlies

-smoothing wood surfaces with sanding felt prior to staining

-rubbing down stained surfaces with sanding vlies

-rubbing down or removing excess lime paste with sanding vlies

2 - 3

-interim paint sanding on stained surfaces

-cleaning natural wood window grooves with sanding felt

1 - 2

-sanding stained edges

-sanding thermoplastic synthetics

Maintenance and care

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

The cooling air vents on the motor housing must always be free of blockages and clean to ensure air circulation.

Any maintenance or repair work requiring the motor housing to be opened may only be carried out by an authorised service workshop.

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 www.festool-usa.com.

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.
