Working with the machine
Never overload the tool by using
too much pressure! The best sanding results are
achieved when applying moderate pressure.
The sanding performance and quality depend
mainly on the choice of the right sanding material.
Festool offers the appropriate sanding material
for all applications (see Festool catalogue).
Metalworking
The following precautions are to be
taken when processing metals for safety reasons:
- connect a residual current operated device in
series before the tool,
- connect tool to a suitable dust extractor,
- clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.
