Festool PI570789 Extension cord, Electronic control, Tool settings, Extraction hood AH-RAS D

Electrical connec- tion and operation

The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage on the rating plate!

To switch the tool on, push the safety sliding switch (1.1) forwards. The tool is switched off by gently press-ing the rear end of the switch.

1.1

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 below shows you the cor- rect cord diameter as a function of the cord length for the RAS 115.04 E.

Total Extension Cord	25	50	100	150
Lenght (feed)
Cord size (AWG)	18	16	16	14

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.

Electronic control

(2.1). This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the material (see "Working with the tool").

Constant speed

The pre-selected speed remains constant whether the tool is in operation or in neutral position.

Temperature control

To prevent overheating, the safety electronics switch the tool off when it reaches a critical motor temperature. Let the tool cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The tool re- quires less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral position.

Tool settings

Always remove the power plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

Extraction hood AH-RAS D 115

The extraction hood AH-RAS D 115 (3.1) can be used in conjunction with the sanding pads STF D 115.
