Festool 571579 Electronics, Changing sanding pads, Smooth start-up, Speed control, Constant speed

f Press the contact slide down until it latches into position.

f Insert the handle section [1-6] at the same way.

If you wish to use the PLANEX for sanding walls in cramped spaces, for example, reduce the length of the machine by fitting the sanding head [1-1] directly to the handle section [1-6].

f When disassembling the machine, do not forget to press the button [4-1] to release the contact slide before opening clamping levers [3-1] and [3-2].

Electronics

The machine features full-wave electronics with the following properties:

Smooth start-up

The electronically controlled smooth start-up function ensures that the machine starts up smoothly.

Speed control

You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly between 310 and 920 rpm using the adjusting wheel [1-3]. This enables you to optimise the cut- ting speed to suit the respective material.

Constant speed

The preselected motor speed remains constant through electronic control. This ensures a uniform cutting speed even when under strain.

		Changing sanding pads
5		f Insert an Allen key (size 5) into the Allen screw
		[5-1] on the sanding pad.
		f Hold the sanding pad securely and turn the
		Allen key to release.
		In order to further ensure optimum axial run-
		out, you must first clean the bearing surface
		for the grinding disk on the driveshaft.
		f Attach the new sanding pad.
		f Tighten the screw [5-1].
		Only attach specified sanding pads to the ma-
5-1	5-2	chine.
		In order to guarantee optimum suction output,

the sealing face between the machine and the grinding disk is ground in during the first few minutes after the disk has been changed. During this time, the r.p.m. of the machine is slightly lower and white foam particles form during the grinding process. However, they do not damage the machine.
