WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
The mains voltage and the frequency of the f
power source must correspond with the speci-
cations on the machine’s name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with f
voltage specifi cations of 120 V may be used.
The switch [1-4] is an on/off switch (I = ON, 0 =
OFF). Connecting and detaching the mains power
cable [1-8], see Fig. [2].
Extension cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have suf-
cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop
in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table adjacent shows you the
correct cord diameter as a function of the cord
length for the LHS 225.
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.

Intended use
The PLANEX is designed for sanding primed dry-
wall constructions, ceilings and walls in internal
and external applications as well as removing
carpet residue, coats of paint, coverings, adhe-
sives and loose plaster.
We recommend using the Festool dust extrac- L
tor CT 36 E AC-LHS when sanding large fi lled
surfaces, which generates large quantities of
dust.
The user bears the responsibility
for damage and accidents caused by improper
use.
