The switch (1.1) acts as an ON / OFF switch (I =
ON / 0 = OFF).

Electronic control
ELECTRONIC
The RTS 400 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
optimum level according to the material concerned
(see "Working with the tool").
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(2.1).

Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and
dirt collecting in the workplace.

The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction as
standard. The sanding dust is extracted through
suction openings in the sanding base (3.5) and
trapped in the turbo-fi lter (3.4).
The turbo-fi lter has to be changed when it is so full
of dust that the extraction power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-fi lter
- Push the fi lter holder with its opening (3.2) as
far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (3.1)
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob (3.3).
- Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-
fi lter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the extraction
nozzle (3.6) of the fi lter holder.
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9) onto
the retaining strip (3.8) of the fi lter holder.
External extraction by
an extraction unit
4.1
In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo-
fi lter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is
possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit
instead of using inbuilt extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe (∅ 27 mm (4.1))
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle.
Attaching sanding material
Stickfix is a hook-and-loop fastening
system. Stickfi x sanding pads allow the use
of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives
such as Stickfi x sandpapers and sanding
cloths.
5.2
5.1
Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the sanding
pad (5.2) and pull it off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating. Before
use, check that the coating has not been damaged
by improper use (such as over heating).
