6.2 External extraction by an extraction

unit

In order to avoid frequent changing of the tur-

bo-ﬁ lter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it

is possible to connect a Festool extractor to the

unit instead of using inbuilt extraction.

In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm

(1.6)) of the extraction unit is connected to the

suction nozzle (1.2).

7 Attaching sanding material

Always use original Festool sanding materials!

The appropriate Stickﬁ x sanding paper and

Stickﬁ x sanding felt can be fastened quickly and

easily onto the Stickﬁ x sanding base.

The self-adhesive sanding material (1.7) is

simply pressed onto the sanding base (1.8) and

held safely in place by the Stickﬁ x sanding base

velcro surface. After use, the StickFix sandpa-

per is simply pulled off.

8 Operating instructions

Never overload the tool by using too much

pressure!

The best sanding results are achieved when

applying moderate pressure. The sanding per-

formance and quality depend mainly on the

choice of the right sanding material. Festool

offers the appropriate accessories, sanding and

polishing attachments for every application. The

accessory and tool order number can be found

in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet un-

der ”www.festool.com”.
