• Regularly clear out any dust accumulations
in the motor housing.
• Wear protective goggles.
Maintenance and care
All maintenance or repair work re-
quiring the motor housing to be opened must
be carried out only by an authorized service
workshop. Maintenance or repair work car-
ried out by an unauthorized person can lead
to the incorrect connection of the wiring or
other components, which in turn can lead to
accidents with serious consequences.
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying out any
work on the machine!
Always keep the tool and in particular the
ventilation slots clean.
Pad brake
The rubber collar (9.1) prevents the sanding
pad from revving up to maximum speed in an
uncontrolled manner during eccentric motion
(fi ne sanding). Because the collar wears down
in the course of time, it has to be replaced
by a new one (order no. 465472) as soon as
there is any reduction in the braking effect.
Accessories, tools
For safety reasons, only use origi-
nal Festool accessories and tools!
The accessory and tool order number can be
found in the Festool catalog or on the Internet
under www.festool-usa.com.
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This pro-
vides protection and storage for the tool and
accessories. The Systainers are stackable and
can be interlocked together. They also can be
interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
