Inserting a turbo-filter
- Push the front cardboard section of the tur-
bo-filter with the sealing lip (1.4) onto the
extraction nozzle (1.9) of the filter holder
- Insert rear cardboard section with slot (1.6)
onto the retaining strip (1.7) of the filter hol-
der
- Push the filter holder with its opening (1.11)
as far as it will go onto the extraction nozzle
(1.12) of the machine and clamp tight by
turning rotary knob (1.10).
4.2
External extraction by an extraction
unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the tur-
bo-filter when carrying longer sanding jobs, it
is possible to connect a Festool extractor to
the unit instead of using inbuilt extraction.
In this case, the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm
(1.8)) of the extraction unit is connected to
the suction nozzle (1.12).

Choice and installation of the
sanding disks
5.1
Choice of sanding disk
The appliance can be fitted with three sanding
disks of different hardness depending on the
surface to be treated.
Hard:
coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding
at edges.
Soft:
universal for coarse and fine
sanding, for flat and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: fine sanding on formed parts,
curves, radii. Do not use on edges!
5.2
Assembly
The sanding disks and the tool-holding fixture
on the appliance are equipped with a positive
holder (2.1).
Make sure the sanding disk is correctly
positioned before screwing it tight.
For safety reasons, only use original
Festool sanding disks!
6
Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and
Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and
easily onto the Stickfix sanding base.
Always use original Festool sanding
materials!
The self-adhesive sanding material (1.14) is
simply pressed onto the sanding base (1.13)
and held safely in place by the Stickfix sanding
base velcro surface.

Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using too
much pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when
applying moderate pressure.
The ETS 150/3 EQ gives the best surface quality
and low abrasion.
The ETS 150/5 EQ provides high abrasion with
good surface quality.
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).
