manual abstract
Use this sander only for dry sanding. The user bears sole responsibility for any damage or accidents resulting from incorrect use. The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage on the rating plate! To start the tool, push the switch (1.1) forwards. Slight pressure on the rear end of the switch is sufficient to switch the tool off. Extension cord If an extension cord is required, it must have sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure of the motor. The table below shows you the correct cord diameter as a function of the cord length for the RO 150 E. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords. Never use two extension cords together. Instead, use one long one. Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the cord. Electronic control ELECTRONIC The tool has full-wave electronics with the following features: Smooth start-up The smooth start-up ensures jolt-free startup. 5 Speed adjustment Eccentric motion (fine sanding) You can regulate the speed steplessly between 2000 and 5600 rpm using the adjusting wheel (2.1). This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the material. Constant speed The pre-selected speed remains constant whether the tool is in operation or in neutral position. Temperature control To prevent overheating, the safety electronics switch the tool off when it reaches a critical motor temperature. Let the tool cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it again. The tool requires less time to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral position. Two-hand operation The optional hand grip (1.2) can be attached to the tool on the right or left-hand side of the gearbox cover. Dust extraction Always connect the tool to a dust extractor. You can connect a Festool extractor with an extractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the dust extraction port (2.2). Tool settings Always remove the power plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool. Sanding motion You can use the switch (1.3) to set two different sanding motions. Change from one motion to the other by switching the rocker lever (1.3) away from the gearbox by 90°, turning it 180° in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and then locking it, while inserting the locking nose on the lever into the slot (1.4) on the gearbox. The resistance encountered when rotating the lever through 180° can be eliminated by rotating the sanding pad a little. Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding, polishing) The Rotex rotary motion is a combination of rotary and eccentric motions. This motion is recommended for sanding with aggressive material removal (coarse sanding) and polishing. Slide the switch into the position (3.2). This motion is recommended for sanding with low material removal for a scratch- free finish (fine sanding). Slide the switch into the position (3.1). Choice and installation of sanding pads Choice of sanding pad The tool can be fitted with three sanding pads of different hardnesses depending on the surface to be sanded. Hard: Coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding at edges. Soft: Universal use for coarse and fine sanding for flat and curved surfaces. Super-soft: Fine sanding on formed parts, curves, radii. Do not use on edges! Installation The sanding pad must be located positively with the alignment spigot on the tool (3.3). Check to ensure that the pad is positioned correctly before screwing it firmly into place. This will prevent it from coming loose when the tool is in operation. Attaching the abrasive Stickfix is a hook-and-loop fastening system. Stickfix sanding pads allow the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives such as Stickfix sandpapers and sanding cloths. Simply press the abrasive onto the sanding pad and pull it off again after use. Use only abrasives with an undamaged Stickfix hook-and-loop coating. Before use, check that the coating has not been damaged by improper use (such as overheating). Securing polishing attachments To prevent damage, use PoliStick polishing attachments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets) only with the special polishing pad fitted on the tool instead of a sanding pad. Like StickFix abrasives, the PoliStick polishing attachments are simply pressed onto the polishing pad and pulled off after use. Pad brake The tool has a pad brake for eccentric sanding which prevents the sanding pad from accelerating in an uncontrollable manner when the machine is raised from the workpiece. 6 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. Sanding performance and quality depend primarily on the choice of the right abrasive. For safe guidance, hold the tool with both hands.
