Extension cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have sufficient
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.

Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between 3000 and 6000 rpm using the adjusting wheel (3.1). This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the material.

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.
Dust extraction
Always connect the tool to a dust extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an extractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the dust extraction port (4.1).
Tool settings
Always remove the power plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Sanding motion
You can use the switch (5.1) to set two diffe- rent sanding motions.
The change can only be made when the sanding pad is stationary, as the switch is locked in place during operation for safety reasons.
Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding, polishing)
The Rotex rotary motion is a combination of rotary and eccentric motions. This motion is recommended for sanding with aggressive material removal (coarse sanding) and polishing.
Slide the switch (5.1) into the right position.
Eccentric motion (fine sanding)
This motion is recommended for sanding with low material removal for a scratch- free finish (fine sanding).
Press the switch (5.1) down and push it into the
