External Extraction By An Extraction Unit - Festool ETS 150/3 EQ Instrucciones De Servicio

6.1 Inboard extraction
The machines are fi tted with inbuilt ex-
traction as standard. The sanding dust is
extracted through suction openings in the
sanding base (1.13) and trapped in the
turbo-fi lter (1.5).The turbo-fi lter has to be
changed when it is so full of dust that the
extraction power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-fi lter
- Push the front cardboard section of the
turbo-fi lter with the sealing lip (1.4) onto
the extraction nozzle (1.9) of the fi lter
holder
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot
(1.6) onto the retaining strip (1.7) of the
fi lter holder
- Push the fi lter holder with its opening
(1.11) as far as it will go onto the ex-
traction nozzle (1.12) of the machine
and clamp tight by turning rotary knob
(1.10).
6.2 External extraction by an extrac-
tion unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the
turbo-fi lter when carrying longer sanding
jobs, it is possible to connect a Festool ex-
tractor to the unit instead of using inbuilt
extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm
(1.8)) of the extraction unit is connected to
the suction nozzle (1.12).
7 Choice and installation of the
sanding disks
7.1 Choice of sanding disk
The appliance can be fi tted with three san-
ding disks of different hardness depending
on the surface to be treated.
Hard: coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding
at edges.
Soft: universal for coarse and fi ne sanding,
for fl at and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: fi ne sanding on formed parts,
curves, radii. Do not use on edges!
7.2 Assembly
The sanding disks and the tool-holding fi x-
ture on the appliance are equipped with a
positive holder (2.1).
Make sure the sanding disk is cor-
rectly positioned before screwing it
tight.

Always use original Festool sanding
materials! The appropriate Stickfi x san-
ding paper and Stickfi x sanding felt can be
fastened quickly and easily onto the Stickfi x
sanding base. The self-adhesive sanding
material (1.14) is simply pressed onto the
sanding base (1.13) and held safely in place
by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
After use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply
pulled off.

The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure. The ETS 150/3
EQ gives the best surface quality and low
abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ provides high
abrasion with good surface quality. The
sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding
material. Festool offers the appropriate san-
ding material for all applications (seeFestool
catalogue or on the Internet under "www.
festool.com").
We recommend the following settings
on the rotary control (1.1) for electro-
nic machines:
rotary control setting
- sanding work
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to pain-
ting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces
4 - 5
- sanding of thinly applied primer
- sanding of wood with sanding vlies
- sanding edges on wooden parts
- smoothing primed wooden surfaces.
3 - 4
- sanding full wooden and veneer edges
- sanding in the grooves/rebates of windows
and doors
- interim paint sanding on edges
- pre-sanding natural wood windows with
sanding vlies
