Electrical Connection And Operation; Extension Cord; Electronic Control; Tool Settings - Festool RAS 115 E Guide D'utilisation

If explosive or self-infl ammable dusts are produced
when sanding certain materials, refer to the pro-
cessing instructions of the material manufacturer.
The user bears sole responsibility for
any damage or accidents resulting from incorrect
use.

Electrical connection and operation

The mains voltage must correspond
to the voltage on the rating plate!
To switch the tool on, push the safety sliding switch
(1.1) forwards. The tool is switched off by gently
pressing the rear end of the switch.

Extension cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have suf-
fi cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop
in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in volt-
age 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
the RAS 115 E.
Total Extension Cord
Lenght (feet)
Cord size (AWG)
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords. Never
use two extension cords together. Instead, use one
long one.
Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cord.

Electronic control

The tool has full-wave electronics with the follow-
ing features.
Do not use the rotary sander if the
electronic control is defective, since this can lead
to excessive speeds. A defect of this kind can be
recognized by the fact that the smooth run-up is
absent, the noise level under no-load conditions is
higher or the speed cannot be controlled.

Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
1500 and 4000 rpm using the adjusting wheel (2.1).
This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the
material (see "Working with the tool").
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures jolt-free startup.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the tool is in operation or in neutral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switch the tool off when it reaches a critical motor
temperature. Let the tool cool down for approx. 3-5
minutes before using it again. The tool requires
less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral
position.

Tool settings

Always remove the power plug from
the socket before carrying out any work on the
power tool.

Extraction hood AH-RAS D 115

The extraction hood AH-RAS D 115 (3.1) can be used
in conjunction with the sanding pads STF D 115.
