Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction channels in
the machine [5-1] roughly once a week (particular-
ly if sanding synthetic resin, in the case of wet sand-
ing and if sanding plaster) using a small flat brush
or a cloth.
Cleaning the inside of the power tool
Regularly clean the inside of the power tool at the
bottom of the fan, [5-3] otherwise the vibration val-
ues worsen as a result of the dust accumulation.
Replace sanding pad and sanding pad
The rubber sleeve [5-2] brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sand-

brake
ing pad. The sanding pad brake is almost wear-free
thanks to the pins used.
In the case of a decreasing braking effect, first
check the sanding pad for wear and replace it if
necessary. Replace damaged sanding pad brake/
rubber sleeve.
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine.
These components are designed specifically for
this machine. Using accessories and consumable
material from other suppliers will most likely affect
5-1
the quality of your results and limit warranty
claims. Machine wear or your own personal work-
load may increase depending on the application.
Protect yourself and your machine, and preserve
your warranty claims by always using original Fes-
tool accessories and Festool consumable material!
Only use original Festool sanding and polishing
pads. Low-quality sanding and polishing pads may
cause serious machine imbalance that decreases
the quality of the working results and increases
machine wear.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festoolusa.com".
