Operation
6.1
Switching on/off
The switch
[1-1]
serves as an on/off switch (I =
ON, 0 = OFF).
When the battery pack is empty, or if
there is a power failure or the mains
plug is removed, move the on/off
switch immediately to the Off position.
This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
6.2
Battery pack
► Inserting the battery pack
[2a]
► Removing the battery pack
[2b]
Capacity display
Pressing the green button on the capacity dis
play
[1-3]
shows the charge status of the bat
tery pack:
70 - 100%
40 - 70%
15 - 40%
< 15%
Recommendation:
Charge
battery pack before further
use.
6.3
Mains adapter
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
► The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the
specifications on the machine's name
plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
may be used.
The mains adapter (available as an accessory
depending on the model) facilitates use of the
cordless sanding technology with mains power,
enabling you to switch between power supply
sources. The mains adapter enables the mobile
dust extractor's automatic electronic switch-
on/shut-off function.
For older mobile dust extractors, the
automatic electronic switch-on/shut-
off may only be activated under load
and not yet under no-load speed due
to low power consumption.
► Insert the mains adapter
[3a]
► Connect the mains adapter and plug-it ca
ble

► Remove the mains adapter
[3c]
► Detach the mains adapter from the plug-it
cable

Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem
perature. If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off and can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if
the machine is used as intended (reasonable
contact pressure), a constant sanding speed is
achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set
[1-5]
between 6000 and
10000 min
-1
using the adjusting wheel.
For sanding, we recommend the following set
tings for the adjusting wheel
