The RS 400 EQ has an electronic control
with which the rotational speed can be
varied step-free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to
the optimum level according to the material
concerned.
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(2.1).
The numbers on the rotary control button
represent approximately the following strokes
per minute:
Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of
dust in the air in the working environment and
dirt collecting in the workplace.
Inboard extraction
The machines are fitted with inbuilt extraction
as standard. The sanding dust is extracted
through suction openings in the sanding base
(3.5) and trapped in the turbo-filter (3.4).
The turbo-filter has to be changed when it is so
full of dust that the extraction power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-filter
- Push the filter holder with its opening (3.2)
as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle
(3.1) of the machine and clamp tight by
turning rotary knob (3.3).
- Push the front cardboard section of the tur-
bo-filter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the
extraction nozzle (3.6) of the filter holder
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9)
onto the retaining strip (3.8) of the filter hol-
der
External extraction by an extraction
unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the tur-
bo-filter 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 (Æ 27 mm (4.1))
of the extraction unit is connected to the suction
nozzle.
Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and
Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and
easily onto the Stickfix sanding base. The self-
adhesive sanding material (5.1) is simply
