Vibration emission level
(3 directions)
The specified emission values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!

Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plas-
tic, stone, composites, paint/varnish, filler and sim-
ilar materials as directed. Metals and materials
that contain asbestos must not be processed.
To guarantee electrical safety, the machine must
not be damp or operated in a damp environment.
The machine must only be used for dry sanding.
The user is liable for improper or non-in-
tended use.

Commissioning
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-
er source must correspond with the specifica-
tions on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [2].
The switch [1-1] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF).
In case of a power failure or if the mains con-
nector is removed, move the on/off switch im-
mediately to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore performing any type of work on the ma-
chine!

Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if the
machine is used as intended (reasonable contact
pressure), a constant sanding speed is achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set [1-3] between 6000 and
-1
12000 min
using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter 8).
