Extra Info
Extra Information
- The LEX 3 150/5 requires an IAS 2 or IAS 3 connecting system for operation.
- The 5 mm stroke makes this version a strong all-round choice for coarse and intermediate sanding.
- Use with suitable Festool abrasives for the best balance of removal rate, surface quality and abrasive life.
- The IAS hose system combines compressed air, dust extraction and exhaust air management for a cleaner sanding setup.
- This pneumatic sander is especially well suited to professional users who sand for long periods in a workshop environment.
Pro Tips
- Use the correct sanding pad hardness for the job: hard for flat surfaces, soft or ultra-soft for shaped or contoured work.
- Pair the LEX 3 150/5 with the Festool IAS hose system to get the best dust extraction and air supply performance.
- Do not press too hard while sanding; let the 5 mm stroke and abrasive do the work for a smoother result.
- Use a progressive grit sequence when preparing surfaces for paint, varnish or clear coat finishing.
- Keep the pneumatic system clean and correctly lubricated to help extend motor life and maintain sanding performance.
How to Use
- Fit the correct 150 mm StickFix abrasive disc to the sanding pad.
- Connect the required IAS 2 or IAS 3 hose system to the sander.
- Make sure the compressed air supply is set to the correct operating pressure.
- Connect suitable dust extraction before starting work.
- Place the sanding pad flat on the workpiece before starting the sander.
- Start the sander and guide it evenly across the surface with light, controlled pressure.
- Move through the required abrasive grits according to the finish needed.
- Allow the sanding pad to stop before lifting the machine from the surface.
- After use, disconnect the air supply and clean dust from the machine and pad area.
Safety
Safety
- Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection when sanding.
- Only operate the sander with the required IAS 2 or IAS 3 connecting system.
- Make sure the compressed air supply is clean, dry and set to the correct pressure.
- Secure the workpiece properly before sanding.
- Use suitable dust extraction to reduce airborne dust and protect the work surface.
- Do not use excessive pressure; this can reduce surface quality and shorten abrasive life.
- Keep hands clear of the sanding pad while the machine is running.
- Disconnect the air supply before changing sanding pads, servicing or cleaning the machine.
- Check hoses and connections before use to prevent air leaks or accidental disconnection.
- Take extra care when sanding coatings, fillers or unknown materials that may create harmful dust.
