Intended use
The P L A N E X is designed for sanding primed
drywall constructions, ceilings and walls in inter-
nal and external applications as well as removing
carpet residue, coats of paint, coverings, adhe-
sives and loose plaster.
We recommend using the Festool dust extrac-
tor CT 36 E AC-LHS when sanding large fi lled
surfaces, which generates large quantities of
dust.
The user bears the responsibility
for damage and accidents caused by improper
use.

Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the speci-
fi cations on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
voltage specifi cations of 120 V may be used.
The switch [1-4] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF). Connecting and detaching the mains power
cable [1-8], see Fig. [2].
If an extension cord is required, it must have suf-
fi cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop
in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
150
of the motor. The table adjacent shows you the
14
correct cord diameter as a function of the cord
length for the LHS 225.
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.
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
Fitting the
Hold the sanding head [1-1] with the sanding
pad facing downwards.
If closed, release the clamping levers [3-1]
and [3-2].
Slide the extension pipe [1-2] into the opening
up to the stop as illustrated in [3].
Close the clamping levers [3-1] and [3-2].
Slide the contact slide [4-2] into the retainer
as illustrated in [4].
