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 one hand on the handle
[1-7].

StickFix

Working with the machine

In the case of a weakening adhesive effect of
the StickFix surface, the sanding pad acces-
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!

Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work

with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-

fore extracting hazardous dust.
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.
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
