Festool ETS 150/3 E Original Operating Manual/spare Parts List - Warning

ETS 150/3 E gives the best surface quality and 

low abrasion. The ETS 150/5 EQ, ETS 150/5 E 

provides high abrasion with good surface qual-

ity. The sanding performance and quality depend 

mainly on the choice of the right sanding material. 

Festool offers the appropriate sanding material 

for all applications (seeFestool catalogue or on 

the Internet under “www.festool.com”).

Sanding base brakes

The sanding base is braked by a collar (2.2) in 

order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive speed 

of the sanding base. Because the collar wears 

down in the course of time, it has to be replaced 

by a new one (order no. 453 388) as soon as there 

is any reduction in the braking effect.

Maintenance and care

WARNING

Risk of accident, electric shock

• 

Always pull the plug out of the socket before 

performing any type of work on the machine.

• 

All maintenance and repair work which re-

quires the motor housing to be opened must 

only be carried out by an authorised service 

workshop.

• 

Check the plug and the cable regularly and 

should either become damaged, have them 

replaced by an authorised after-sales service 

workshop.

The cooling air vents on the motor housing must 

always be free of blockages and clean to ensure 

air circulation.

Disposal

Do not throw the power tool in your household 

waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and 

packaging at an environmentally-responsible 

recycling centre. Observe the valid national regu-

lations.

EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate 

that used electric power tools must be collected 

separately and disposed of at an environmentally 

responsible recycling centre.

13   Accessories 

Use only original Festool accessories and Festool 

consumable material intended for this machine 

because these components are designed spe-

cifi cally for the machine. Using accessories and 

consumable material from other suppliers will 

most likely affect the quality of your working 

results and limit any warranty claims. Machine 

wear or your own personal workload may increase 

depending on the application. Protect yourself and 

your machine, and preserve your warranty claims 

by always using original Festool accessories and 

Festool consumable material!

The order numbers of the accessories and tools 

can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the 

Internet under “www.festool.com”.
