WARNING
Any maintenance or repair work that
requires opening of the motor or gear
housing should only be carried out by
an authorised Customer Service Centre
(name supplied by your dealer)!
Maintenance or repair work carried out by
an unauthorised person can lead to the
wrong connection of the power leads or
other components, which in turn can lead
to accidents with serious consequences.
WARNING
To prevent accidents, always remove
the plug from the power supply socket
before carrying out any maintenance or
repair work on the tool!
Do not use compressed air to clean the
electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts in-
side the tool in this way, as you could let
foreign objects in through the openings of
the tool housing.
To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the motor
housing clean and free of blockages.

Use only original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material intended for
this machine because these components are
designed specifically for the machine. Using
accessories and consumable material from

personal workload may increase depending
on the application. Protect yourself and your
machine, and preserve your warranty claims
by always using original Festool accessories
and Festool consumable material!

Sanding pad brake
The rubber collar [10-1] on the sanding pad
and the stop ring [10-2] on the machine
prevent uncontrolled excessive turning of the
sanding pad during eccentric motion (fine
sanding). As these parts are subject to wear
in the course of time, they must be replaced
when reduced braking force is observed (for
order no., see spare parts list).

balance that decreases the quality of the
working results and increases machine wear.
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festoolusa.com".
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a
unique system container, called "Systainer".
This provides protection and storage for the
tool and accessories. The Systainers are
stackable and can be interlocked together.
They also can be interlocked atop Festool CT
dust extractors.
