Sanding pad brake

The rubber collar (10.1) prevents the sand-
ing pad from revving up to maximum speed
in an uncontrolled manner during eccentric
motion (fi ne sanding) .
Because the collar wears down in the course
of time, it must be replaced by a new one
(order no. 463 357) as soon as there is any
reduction in the braking effect.

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.
