Electronic control

The LS 130 EQ has an electronic control with which
the rotational speed can be varied step-free. This
allows the sanding speed to be adapted to the op-
timum level according to the material concerned.
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(1.3). The numbers on the rotary control button rep-
resent approximately the following strokes per min:

Dust extraction

Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of dust
in the air in the working environment and dirt col-
lecting in the workplace. In this case, the extraction
pipe (Ø 27 mm) of the extraction unit is connected
to the suction nozzle (1.4).

Sanding pad

In order to be able to sand various profi les, Festool
offers shaped sanding pads (see Festool catalogue
or on the Internet under www.festoolusa.com).
These sanding pads can be changed quickly and
easily without tools.

Removing the sanding pad (Fig. 3):

- Push the sanding pad forwards (e.g. by pressing
the rear edge of the sanding pad against a fl at
surface),
- keep the sanding pad pressed forwards and swivel
the front edge of the sanding pad away from the
tool,
- release the pressure slightly, remove the sanding
pad from the rear.

To ensure a better grip of the sanding pad on the
sanding base of the LS 130 EQ you can fasten the
sanding pad in the four holes in the corners (1.7)
using the enclosed screws. These screws have to
be removed before exchanging sanding pads.

Attaching sanding material

The appropriate Stickfi x sanding paper and Stickfi x
sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily onto
the Stickfi x sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material (1.5) is simply
pressed onto the sanding base (1.6) and held safely
in place by the Stickfi x sanding base velcro surface.
