Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust bag
when carrying out sanding work for a long period of
time, you can connect Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor (with an extraction hose diameter of 27 mm)
to the extractor connection piece [1-4].
The start-up mode switches the mobile dust ex-
tractor on as soon as you switch the orbital
sander on. The start-up mode only works in
conjunction with the mains adapter.
If the power tool is used in cordless operation
with a mobile dust extractor, the battery life de-
creases. Reducing the suction power minimises
this effect.
High suction power can impair control of the
power tool. Reducing the suction power mini-
mises this effect.
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction hose.
This helps reduce the electric charge.
Edge protector [6]
The edge protector [1-7] reduces contact of the
sanding pad circumference with a surface (e.g.
3
4
when sanding along a wall or a window), thus pre-
venting back-kick of the machine, or machine dam-
age.
Push the edge protector into the groove on the
machine.
Slot the two ends of the edge protector into
place until they click.
Loosen both ends of the edge protector.
Remove the edge protector by pulling it for-
wards.
