Festool RAS 115.04 E Sander User Manual


 
6
The abrasive is simply pressed onto the sanding
pad and pulled off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfix hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not been
damaged by incorrect use (e. g. overheating).
Please note: The Mini-Stickfix D 52 sanding
pad was developed for use in confined spaces
and with small areas. This small-diameter pad
and the affixed abrasive will inevitably heat up
in use more than larger pads, since the same
pressure is distributed over a smaller area. Sand
only with moderate pressure and do not sand
continuously for too long. Lift the sander off
the workpiece at intervals to allow friction heat
to dissipate.
