Electrical connec- tion and operation

The mains voltage must correspond with the volt- age on the rating plate!

See the following figure for connection and dis- connection of the power cable.

Always switch the machine off before connecting or disconnecting the power cable!

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.

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 ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/5 EQ.

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.

Tool settings

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

Electronic control

You can regulate the speed steplessly between 6000 and 10500 rpm using the adjusting wheel (2.3). This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the material (see "Working with the tool").

Dust extraction

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

Inboard extraction

			3.1	3.2	3.3
3.4	3.5	3.6	3.7	3.8	3.9

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:

–Push the front cardboard section of the turbo- 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 holder

–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

4.1

In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo- 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.
