1 Safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Always wear protective goggles because
of possible dangers when sanding.
The manufacturer’s handling and processing
instructions must be observed without fail if ex-
plosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to occur
during sanding.
Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood).
Contact with these dusts, especially inhaling
them, can represent a hazard for operating per-
sonnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with
the safety regulations that apply in your country.
Connect the electric power tool to a suitable ex-
traction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
- Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-
plied via residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
- If the power tool is dropped or falls, check
for damage to the machine and sanding pad.
Remove the sanding pad for closer inspection.
Repair damaged parts before using again. Bro-
ken sanding pads and damaged machines can
cause injuries and machine instability.
2 Correct usage
The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plas-
tic, composite materials, paint / varnish, filling
material and similar materials.
Metal and materials with an asbestos content
must not be processed with these tools.
The user bears sole responsibility for
any damage or accidents resulting from
incorrect use.
3 Noise and vibration information
Typical values established in compliance with EN
60745:
Sound pressure level 72 dB(A)
Sound-power level 83 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three di-
rections) measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission level
(3 directions) ah= 5,0 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 2,0 m/s2
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– they represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with oth-
er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.

Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
4 Electrical connection and operation
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated using
unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
- The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the speci-
fications on the machine’s name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
voltage specifications of 120 V may be used.
Switch (1.2) is an on/off switch. For continuous
use it can be engaged with the lateral locking
button (1.3). Pressing the switch again releases
the lock. Only ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/5 EQ: See
Fig. 3 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
5 Electronic control
The ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/3 E, ETS 150/5
EQ, ETS 150/5 E has an electronic control
with which the rotational speed can be
varied step-free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to
the optimum level according to the material con-
cerned (see Chapter 9). The speed is set using the
rotary control button (1.1).
6 Dust extraction
CAUTION
Dust may be harmful or cause allergic reac-
tions!
• Alwaysconnectthe machineto adustextractor.
• When performing work that generates dust,
always wear a dust mask.
6.1 Turbo-filter (partly accessories)
The sanding dust is extracted through suction
openings in the sanding base (1.13) and trapped
in the turbo-filter (1.5).The turbo-filter has to be
changed when it is so full of dust that the extrac-
tion power diminishes.
Inserting a turbo-filter
- Push the front cardboard section of the turbo-
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 holder
- 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).
6.2 External extraction by an extraction unit
In order to avoid frequent changing of the turbo-
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).
7 Choice and installation of the sanding
disks
7.1 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!
7.2 Assembly
The sanding disks and the tool-holding fixture on
the appliance are equipped with a positive holder
(2.1).
CAUTION
Risk of injury
•Make sure the sanding disk is correctly posi-
tioned before screwing it tight.
•For safety reasons, only use original Festool
sanding disks!
8 Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding materials!
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and Stick-
fix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and easily
onto the Stickfix sanding base. 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. After
use, the StickFix sandpaper is simply pulled off.
9 Operating instructions
Never overload the tool by using too
much pressure!
The best sanding results are achieved when ap-
plying moderate pressure. The ETS 150/3 EQ,

11
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”).
We recommend the following settings on the
rotary control (1.1) for electronic machines:
rotary control setting
- sanding work
5 - 6
- sanding with max. drive
- sanding old paint
- sanding wood and veneer prior to painting
- interim sanding of paint on surfaces

- sanding of thinly applied primer
- sanding of wood with sanding vlies
- sanding edges on wooden parts
- smoothing primed wooden surfaces.

doors
- interim paint sanding on edges
- pre-sanding natural wood windows with sanding
vlies
- smoothing wood surfaces with sanding felt prior
to staining

vlies
- rubbing down or removing excess lime paste
with sanding vlies
2 - 3
- interim paint sanding on stained surfaces
- cleaning natural wood window grooves with
sanding felt
1 - 2
- sanding stained edges
- sanding thermoplastic synthetics
10 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.
11 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.
