The machines may only be used for dry sanding. The user bears sole responsibility for any damage or accidents resulting from incorrect use. Electrical connection and operation The mains voltage must correspond with the voltage on the rating plate! See the following figure for connecting or disconnecting the power cord of the tool. Always switch the machine off before The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plastic, composite materials, paint / varnish, fi lling material and similar materials. Metal and materials with an asbestos content must not be processed with these tools. The machine is particularly suitable for processing smaller surfaces and overhead work because of its size, its weight and its output. The machines must not be damp nor operated in a damp environment for electrical safety connecting or disconnecting the power cable! 3 4 The switch (1.1) acts as an ON / OFF switch (I = ON / 0 = OFF). 1.1 Electronic control ELECTRONIC The ETS 125 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 "Working with the tool"). The speed is set using the rotary control button (2.1). 2.1 Dust extraction Dust extractors prevent large accumulations of dust in the air in the working environment and dirt collecting in the workplace. Inboard extraction 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.8 3.9 3.6 3.7 3.5 The machines are fi tted with inbuilt extraction as standard. The sanding dust is extracted through suction openings in the sanding base (3.5) and trapped in the turbo-fi lter (3.4). 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 fi lter 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 turbofi lter with the sealing lip (3.7) onto the extraction nozzle (3.6) of the fi lter holder. - Insert rear cardboard section with slot (3.9) onto the retaining strip (3.8) of the fi lter holder. External extraction by an extraction unit In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbofi lter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it is possible to connect a Festool extractor to the unit instead of using inbuilt extraction. 4.1 In this case, the extraction pipe (O 27 mm (4.1)) of the extraction unit is connected to the suction nozzle. Attaching sanding material Stickfix is a hook-and-loop fastening system. Stickfi x sanding pads allow the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives such as Stickfi x sandpapers and sanding cloths. 5.2 5.1 Simply press the abrasive (5.1) onto the sanding base (5.2) and pull it off again after use. Please note: Use only abrasives with an undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating. Before use, check that the coating has not been damaged by improper use (such as over heating). Always use original Festool sanding materials! Working with the tool Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being sanded. Never overload the tool by using too much pressure! The best sanding results are achieved when applying moderate pressure. The sanding performance and quality depend mainly on the choice of the right sanding material. Festool offers the appropriate sanding material for all applications (see Festool catalogue). We recommend the following settings on the rotary control (2.1) for electronic machines: 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 sanding vlies 2 - 3 • interim paint sanding on stained surfaces • cleaning natural wood window grooves with sanding felt 1 - 2 • sanding stained edges • sanding thermoplastic synthetics Maintenance and care Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine! The cooling air vents on the motor housing must always be free of blockages and clean to ensure air circulation. Any maintenance or repair work requiring the motor housing to be opened may o...
