3 Power supply and start-up

The mains voltage must correspond to the

speciﬁ cation on the rating plate.

Always switch the machine off before con-

necting or disconnecting the mains lead!

See Fig. 3 for connection and disconnection of the

power cable.

Switch (1.1) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On/0

= Off).

4 Electronics

The RTS 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

(see Chapter 6).

The speed is set using the rotary control button

(2.1).

5 Machine settings

Always remove the power supply plug from

the socket before carrying out any work on

the machine.

5.1 Dust extraction

Always connect the machine to a dust

extractor. Dust extractors prevent large

accumulations of dust in

the air in the working environment and dirt col-

lecting at the workplace. Sanding dust is extracted

through the extraction channels in the sanding pad

directly to the material removal point.

a) Inboard extraction

The machines are ﬁ tted with inboard extraction as

standard. The sanding dust is extracted through

suction openings in the sanding base (1.8) and

trapped in the turbo-ﬁ lter (1.5). The turbo-ﬁ lter

has to be changed when it is so full of dust that the

extraction power diminishes.

Inserting a turbo-ﬁ lter

- Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-

ﬁ lter with the sealing lip (2.3) onto the extraction

nozzle (2.2) of the ﬁ lter holder

- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (2.4) onto

the retaining strip (2.5) of the ﬁ lter holder

- Push the ﬁ lter holder with its opening (1.3) as far

as it will go onto the extraction nozzle (1.2) of the

machine and clamp tight by turning rotary knob

(1.4).

b) External extraction by an extraction unit

In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo-

filter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is

possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit

instead of using inboard extraction. In this case, the

extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm (1.6)) of the extraction unit

is connected to the suction nozzle (1.2).

5.2 Attaching sanding material

Always use original Festool sanding ma-

terials!

Self-adhesive abrasives such as Stickﬁ x sandpaper

and sanding ﬂ eeces can be attached to Stickﬁ x

sanding shoes. The abrasives (1.7) are simply

pressed onto the sanding shoe (1.8) and pulled off

after use.

6 lnstructions on application

Never overload the tool by using too much pres-

sure!

The best sanding results are achieved when apply-

ing moderate pressure.

The sanding performance and quality depend

mainly on the choice of the right sanding mate-

rial.

We recommend the following settings on the rotary

control (2.1) for electronic tools:
