Extra Info
Extra Information
- The all-round LED light ring acts like a built-in grazing light to help show unevenness while sanding.
- The adjustable suction power helps reduce the strain on the user's arms and back during long sanding sessions.
- The working length can be adjusted quickly to suit the working area and ceiling height.
- The hose clip helps keep the suction hose and cable organised at a comfortable distance from the operator's hand.
- The brushless EC motor is robust, long-lasting and maintenance-free.
- For best dust extraction performance, pair the PLANEX with a suitable Festool CT dust extractor and the correct hose setup.
Pro Tips
- Use the LED light ring while sanding to spot high spots, ridges and sanding scratches before applying paint.
- Let the adjustable suction support carry some of the tool weight instead of pressing hard against the surface.
- Start with a coarser abrasive for levelling filler and finish with a finer grit for a smooth paint-ready surface.
- Use overlapping sanding passes and keep the sanding head flat to avoid creating uneven patches.
- Keep the extraction hose as straight as possible to maintain airflow and reduce drag while sanding ceilings.
- Replace worn abrasives early; a tired disc makes the machine work harder and can affect the final finish.
How to Use
- Select the correct 225mm abrasive grit for the surface and finish required.
- Attach the abrasive securely to the StickFix sanding pad.
- Set the working length to suit the wall, ceiling or tight working area.
- Connect the suction hose to the sander and to a suitable Festool dust extractor.
- Switch on the LED light ring and adjust the sanding speed for the material being sanded.
- Place the sanding head flat against the surface before starting the sanding movement.
- Move the sander smoothly in overlapping passes without applying excessive pressure.
- Use the LED light to inspect the surface as you work and correct uneven areas immediately.
- Switch off and disconnect the machine before changing abrasives, pads or accessories.
