Setting And Adjusting The Speed; Extractor Signal; Dust Extraction - Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ Manual De Instrucciones Original

7.1 Electronics
The power tool is equipped with a brushless EC-
TEC motor for a long service life and power elec-
tronics with the following properties:
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 to ensure a uniform
sanding speed even when under load.
Speed reduction in the event of high vibrations
If high vibrations and oscillations occur at the pow-
er tool, e.g. with the use of an interface pad, the
speed is automatically reduced in order to protect
the power tool and the user.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con-
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tempera-
ture. If the temperature continues to rise, the pow-
er tool switches off and can only be switched on
again once the motor has cooled sufficiently.
7.2

Setting and adjusting the speed

The speed can be set [1-2] between 6000 and
-1
10000 min using the adjusting wheel.
This enables you to optimise the sanding speed to
suit the material (see chapter 8).
7.3

Extractor signal

The electronic extractor signal detects whether an
extractor hose is connected at the power tool. Upon
activation the power tool can only be switched on
with a connected extractor hose.
Switching the extractor signal ON/OFF
The extractor signal is supplied in a deactivated
state.

Switch on power tool by briefly pressing the ON/
OFF button [1-1].
 Switch off the power tool again and hold down
the ON/OFF button [1-1].
Power tool beeps once.

Turn speed control [1-2] to both end positions
(Level 1 and 6).
Power tool beeps three times for ON and twice
for OFF.

Release ON/OFF button [1-1].
Extractor signal is activated or deactivated.
The operating mode is indicated via the LED [1-6]:

Tuned to the surface being processed, the machine
can be equipped with three sanding pads of differ-
ent hardnesses.
Hard: Coarse and fine sanding on surfaces. Sand-
ing edges.
Soft: Universal for coarse and fine sanding, for flat
and convex surfaces.
Extra-soft: Fine sanding of moulded parts, arches,
radii. Do not use on edges.
7.5
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix sand-
ing cloth can be attached quickly and simply to the
StickFix sanding pad.

sories, in particular those which are not yet touch-
ing the workpiece, may come loose from the sand-
ing pad and cause injuries. Replace the sanding
pad!

Permanent light: Extractor
hose is connected
Flashing light: No extractor
hose connected, power tool
cannot be switched on.
No light: Extractor signal is
not active.
Replacing the sanding pad [3]
An optimal work result can only be achieved
using original accessories and consumables.
The use of non-original accessories or con-
Warning! Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the ma-
chine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
Health risk: Fitting sanding pads of incorrect
size causes excessive vibration of the ma-
chine.
Attaching sanding accessories using
StickFix [3b]
Press the self-adhesive sanding accessory onto
the sanding pad [1-3].
In the case of a weakening adhesive effect of
the StickFix surface, the sanding pad acces-
