Dust extraction

Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and dirt
collecting in the workplace.
Turbo-fi lter (partly accessories)
The sanding dust is extracted through suction open-
ings in the sanding base [3-4] and trapped in the
turbo-fi lter [3-2].
The turbo-fi lter has to be changed when it is so full
of dust that the extraction power diminishes:
– Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-
fi lter with the sealing lip [3-1] onto the extraction
nozzle [3-8] of the fi lter holder
– Insert rear cardboard section with slot [3-3] onto
the retaining strip [3-9] of the fi lter holder
– Push the fi lter holder with its opening [3-6] as
far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle [3-5]
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob [3-7].
External extraction by an extraction unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo-fi l-
ter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is possible
to connect a Festool extractor to the unit instead of
using inbuilt extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm) [4-1]
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle.

Attaching sanding material

The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and Stickfi x
sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily onto
the Stickfi x sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material [5-2] is simply
pressed onto the sanding base [5-1] and held safely
in place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
Choice and installation of
the grinding disks
The appliance can be fi tted with three grinding
disks [5-1] of different hardness depending on the
surface to be treated.
• Hard: coarse grinding on surfaces, grinding at
edges.
• Soft: universal for coarse and fi ne grinding, for
fl at and curved surfaces.
• Super-soft: fi ne grinding on formed parts, curves,
radii. Do not use on edges!
