Usage

For coarse sanding, engage the ROTEX rotary motion for maximum material removal. Switch to eccentric motion for fine sanding to achieve a smooth, scratch-free surface. When polishing, ensure you use appropriate polishing agents and pads for a hologram-free finish. Always connect the sander to a Festool mobile dust extractor via the CLEANTEC system to maintain a clean workspace and extend abrasive life. Utilize the Protector when working near edges to prevent damage to the workpiece and sanding pad. The FastFix system allows for quick, tool-less sanding pad changes for seamless transitions between tasks.
