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:
Rotary control setting
- sanding work
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces
4 - 5
- sanding of thinly applied primer
- sanding of wood with sanding vlies
- sanding edges on wooden parts
- smoothing primed wooden surfaces.
3 - 4
- sanding full wooden and veneer edges
- sanding in the grooves/rebates of windows and
doors
- interim paint sanding on edges
- pre-sanding natural wood windows with sanding
vlies
- smoothing wood surfaces with sanding felt prior
to staining
- rubbing down stained surfaces with sanding
vlies
- rubbing down or removing excess lime paste with
