your country. Connect the electric power
tool to a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec
tive mask.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
–
Use a residual current protective device
when metal grinding, as well as when the
operation of the power tool in a wet envi
ronment cannot be avoided.
In the event of
an electric shock, the protective switch
protects you against life-threatening cur
rent through the body.
–
Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for
example sanding pad or polishing felt,
with water and allow to dry.
Work equip
ment soaked in oil may combust spontane
ously.
–
Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating
the grinding material and the sander. Al
ways empty the dust container before tak
ing a break.
Swarf in the dust bag, microfil
ter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or filter
of the mobile dust extractor) may sponta
neously combust in unfavourable condi
tions such as flying sparks when sanding
metals. Particular danger exists if the
swarf is mixed with paint, polyurethane
residue or other chemical materials and
the grinding material is hot after long peri
ods of work.
–
Always use original Festool sanding pads.
Foreign pads are not suitable for the speed
of the sander and may break.
–
If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding
pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer
inspection. Repair damaged parts before
using again.
Broken sanding pads and
damaged machines can cause injuries and
machine instability.

Mixed dust containing metal and
sanding damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such as
dust resulting from paint sanding in the auto
motive field) and when sanding damp surfaces,
the following measures must be observed for
reasons of safety:
– Install a residual-current circuit breaker
(GFCI, PRCD) upstream.
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex
tractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of
the machine to remove dust deposits.
Wear protective goggles.

Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance
with EN 60745 are typically:
Sound pressure level
L
PA
= 73 dB(A)
Sound power level
L
WA
= 84 dB(A)
Uncertainty
K = 3 dB
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K measured in
accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission value
(three-axle)
a
h
= 4.8 m/s
2
K = 1.5 m/s
2
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.
