Working With The Machine; Service And Maintenance - Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ Notice D'utilisation D'origine

ETS EC 150
GB
The power tool does not have its own extractor unit.
At the extractor connector [1-5], a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm should be connected.
Recommendation: Use anti-static 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 while being machined.
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.
For sanding we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel [1-2]:
Sanding work
– Sanding with max. abrasion
– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered surface
prior to paintwork
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on sur-
faces
– Sanding thinly applied undercoat
– Sanding wood with nonwoven pad
– Edge breaking on wooden parts
– Smoothing primed wooden surfaces
– Sanding solid wood and veneered edges
– Sanding rebate of windows and doors
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork at edg-
es
– Light sanding of natural wood windows
using nonwoven pad
– Smoothing wooden surfaces using non-
woven pad before staining
– Rubbing or removing excess limestone
residue using nonwoven pad

We recommend cleaning the extraction channels in
the machine [4-1] roughly once a week (particular-
ly if sanding synthetic resin, in the case of wet sand-
ing and if sanding plaster) using a small flat brush
or a cloth.
9.2
Regularly clean the inside of the power tool at the
bottom of the fan, [4-3] otherwise the vibration val-
ues worsen as a result of the dust accumulation.
