Pro Tips
- Use the extension when sanding ceilings or high walls where the standard reach is just short of comfortable.
- When working overhead, let the PLANEX and dust extraction system do the hard work instead of forcing the machine into the surface.
- For very high ceilings, check whether a second extension will give the reach needed before setting up scaffolding.
- Use suitable Festool dust extraction with the PLANEX to keep drywall sanding dust under better control.
- Before starting, make sure the extension is securely fitted and the machine feels balanced in your hands.
