Dust extraction

WARNING
Hazardous dust
Damage to the respiratory passage
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► Wear a dust mask.
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extrac­
tion hose diameter of 1‑1/16" (27 mm) should
be connected at the extractor connector [1-5].
Recommendation: Use an antistatic extractor
hose. This helps reduce the electric charge.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move.
Observe the following information:
– Do not overload the machine by applying
too much pressure. The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding performance
and quality depend mainly on selecting the
correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands – one on
the motor housing and one on the gear
head [1-6] – to ensure safe guidance.

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.
