The auxiliary handle (Accessories, 8.1) can be screwed onto either the right or left of the gear head.
Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being sanded.
Never overload the tool by using too much pressure! The best sanding results are achieved when applying moderate pressure. Sanding performance and quality depend primarily on the choice of the right abrasive.
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend for different sanding and polishing work.
Metalworking
Observe the following safety precautions when working on metals:
9.1
The rubber collar (9.1) prevents the sanding pad from revving up to maximum speed in an uncontrolled manner during eccentric motion (fine sanding). Because the collar wears down in the course of time, it has to be replaced by a new one (order no. 465472) 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
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique system container, called "Systainer". This provides protection and storage for the tool and acces- sories. The Systainers are stackable and can be interlocked together. They also can be interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
Maintenance and care
All maintenance or repair work requiring the motor housing to be opened must be carried out only by an authorized service work- shop. Maintenance or repair work carried out by an unauthorized person can lead to the incorrect connection of the wiring or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.
Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine!
