Constant speed

The preselected motor speed remains constant

through electronic control. This ensures a uniform

cutting speed even when under load.

Overload safety device

In extreme applications, the current consump-

tion may far exceed the permitted nominal value.

A "safety coupling" integrated in an electronic

overload safety device switches off the motor and

prevents it from burning out. Motor operation

resumes immediately after the load is relieved.

Temperature cut-out

To protect against overheating (burning out of mo-

tor), an electronic temperature monitoring system

has been installed. Prior to reaching a critical mo-

tor temperature, the safety electronics switches

off the motor. After a cooling time of approx. 3-5

minutes, the machine can be operated again at

full load. The machine requires less time to cool

down when idling.

LED indicator

The rotary sander is fitted with an electronic

adjusting wheel and a green and red LED [1-3].

A green lit LED indicates that the rotary sander

is operating in normal mode. A red lit LED indi-

cates that the motor is operating at approx. 70%

overload. The overload or temperature cut-out

switches off the motor if overloaded for longer

periods.

However, alternately ﬂ ashing green and red LEDs

indicate that the brushes are completely worn

(remaining working hours max. 10 hours). In

this case, have an authorised after-sales service

workshop replace the carbon brushes the next

day. Always replace these brushes with special

carbon brushes available in pairs otherwise the

LED indicators will not work.

7.2 Changing the brushes

Loosen the screw [2-1]. f

Swivel the silver cover [2-2] down. f

Press and hold the spindle lock [2-3] and un- f

screw the hexagon nut (size 24) on the brush.

Insert a different brush. f

Tighten the hexagon nut to secure the brush f

and then close the silver cover.

For brushes LD 85 and BG 85, use the ac-



companying centring disc.

7.3 Adjusting the texture depth

Set the required texture depth using the thum- f

bwheel [1-6].

7.4 Dust extraction

CAUTION

Breathing in dust damages the respiratory

passage.

Always connect the machine to a dust ex- f

tractor.

When performing work that generates dust, f

always wear a dust mask.

You can connect a Festool extractor to the extrac-

tor connector [1-7]. The extractor hose in the

Festool extractor is 27 mm in diameter.

8 Working with the machine

The RUSTOFIX gives beams or wooden panelling

a rustic texture.

Working method

After the ﬁ rst working procedure with the wire

brush LD 85, protruding ﬁ bres give the wooden

surface a rough feel. In the second working pro-

cedure, plastic bristles KD 80 sand the textured

surface to lend a smooth ﬁ nish.

fAlways guide the machine evenly and in the

direction of the grain.

fHold the machine with both hands to ensure

safe guidance.

fDo not overload the machine by pressing with

excessive force! The best results are achieved

with moderate application pressure.

fMaintain the speed specified. (see Chapter
