Festool RO 150 E Technical data, Symbols, Intended use, Electrical connection and operation

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5)Service

a)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual.

Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.

The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals work in a well ventilated area and use approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Intended use

The sanders are designed for sanding and polishing wood, plastic, metal, stone, composite materials, paint/varnish, filler and similar materials.

Do not use with materials containing asbestos.

The tools must not be used when wet or damp, or operated in a damp environment, for electrical safety reasons. Use this sander only for dry sanding.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage or accidents resulting from incorrect use.

Electrical connection and operation

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

To start the tool, push the switch (1.1) forwards. Slight pressure on the rear end of the switch is sufficient to switch the tool off.

Extension cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have sufficient 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 correct cord diameter as a function of the cord length for the RO 150 E.

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

The tool has full-wave electronics with ELECTRONIC the following features:

Smooth start-up

The smooth start-up ensures jolt-free startup.
