1 Intended use
As specified, the machines are designed for sand-
ing wood, plastic, stone, composite materials,
paint/varnish, filler and similar materials.
Metal and materials containing asbestos must
not be processed.
For reasons of electrical safety the machine must
not be damp nor operated in a humid environment.
The machine may only be used for dry sanding.
The user is liable for damage and injury
resulting from incorrect usage!
2 Safety instructions
2.1 General Safety
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.
2.2 Tool-specific safety rules
Always wear protective goggles because
of possible dangers when sanding.
- The manufacturer’s handling and processing
instructions must be observed without fail if
explosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to oc-
cur during sanding.
- Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood
and metal). Contact with these dusts, espe-
cially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for
operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to
a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
2.3 Noise and vibration information
The typical values determined in accordance with
EN 60745 are:
Sound-pressure level 76 dB(A)
Sound-power level 87 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Wear ear protection!
Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three direc-
tions) measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission level
(3 directions) ah= 4,5 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 2,0 m/s2
The emission values specified (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test condi-
tions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended for
machine comparisons. They are also used for mak-
ing preliminary estimates regarding vibration and
noise loads during operation. The emission values
specified refer to the main applications for which

the power tool is used.
If the electric power tool is used for other ap-
plications, with other tools or is not maintained
sufficiently prior to operation, however, the vibra-
tion and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specification on the rating plate.
Switch (1.1) serves as an On/Off switch (I = On / 0
= Off). It may be latched with the locking knob on
the side (1.2) for continuous operation. Pressing
the switch again releases the lock.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
lead!
See Fig. 3 for connection and disconnection of the
power cable.
4 Electronics
The RS 300 EQ 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 6).
The speed is set using the rotary control button
(2.1).
5 Dust extraction
Dust extractors prevent large accumu-
lations of dust in the air in the working
environment and dirt collecting at the
workplace.
5.1 Inboard extraction
The machines are fitted with inboard extraction as
standard. The sanding dust is extracted through
suction openings in the sanding base (2.4) and
trapped in the turbo-filter (1.5). The turbo-filter
has to be changed when it is so full of dust that
the extraction 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 (1.3)
of the machine and clamp tight by turning rotary
knob (1.10).
5.2 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 inboard extraction. In this case,
the extraction pipe (Ø 27 mm (1.8)) of the extrac-
tion unit is connected to the suction nozzle (1.3).
6 Special sanding pads
The standard sanding pad (93 x 175 mm) can be
exchanged for a special sanding pad. Loosen the
four fastening screws (2.2).
The special sanding shoe is mounted in such a
way that the extended side protrudes over the
front edge of the sander.
6.1 Sanding pad STF-93x230
Please use the enclosed countersunk screws to
secure the STF-93x230 sanding pad instead of the
standard oval-head screws.
The special application of this sanding pad is to
sand in narrow spaces, e.g. between the louvers
on folding shutters or behind heating pipes.
The protruding part of the sanding pad is 60 mm
long and has a Stickfix coating on the top and bot-
tom. Stickfix sandpaper rolls in grit sizes P 50 to
P 180 are available for these applications. These
rolls are 12 m long and can be cut to the desired
length by the customer. Cut through the Stickfix
adhesive coating on the back and the carrier
material using a sharp knife. The sandpaper can
then be simply torn off.
Please note that this sanding pad cannot be used
in conjunction with a suction unit.
6.2 Sanding pad STF-V93x266
The STF-V93x266 sanding pad is fastened with
standard oval-head screws.
This sanding pad has a protruding triangular point
with an edge length of 93 mm it was developed
for sanding in corners and edges though can also
be used on flat surfaces thanks to its continuous

12
Stickfix coating.
Affix the triangular abrasive STF-V93 to the tip
followed directly by a normal sanding strip STF-
93x178. In order to obtain maximum use of the
triangular abrasive it can be rotated at random
on the end of the sanding pad.
Please note
The STF-V93x266 sanding pad has been specially
developed for work in corners and on edges. Expe-
rience has shown that this leads to uneven stress
on the tip of the sanding pad. This inevitably leads
to the generation of more heat than when work-
ing on flat surfaces since the same force has to
be distributed over a smaller surface. You should
therefore work with reduced pressure, otherwise
the Stickfix coating on the sanding pad and abra-
sive can become damaged.
7 Attaching sanding material
Always use original Festool sanding ma-
terials!
7.1 Stickfix abrasives
Self-adhesive abrasives such as Stickfix
sandpaper and sanding fleeces can be
attached to Stickfix sanding shoes.
The abrasives (2.3) are simply pressed onto the
sanding shoe (2.4) and pulled off after use.
7.2 Abrasives to clamp
Festool offers perforated abrasives to
clamp.
Unperforated abrasives can be perforated with
the „Lochfix“ (accessory).
Secure an abrasive sheet in place using the two
clamping devices (1.12). Press the levers to re-
lease the clamping devices.
Once clamped in position, make sure the
abrasive paper is taut and sits flat on the
sanding pad.
8 lnstructions on application
Never overload the tool by using too much pres-
sure! The best sanding results are achieved
when applying moderate pressure. The sanding
performance and quality depend mainly on the
choice of the right sanding material.
We recommend the following settings on the
rotary control (2.1) for electronic machines:

9 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
The cool air openings in the motor casing must
always be kept clean and unobstructed to ensure
air circulation.
All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor casing to be opened may only be carried
out by an authorised service centre.
10 Accessories, tools
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine
because these components are designed specifi-
cally for the machine. Using accessories and con-
sumable material from other suppliers will most

13
likely affect the quality of your working results and
limit any warranty claims. Machine wear or your
own personal workload may increase depending on
the application. Protect yourself and your machine,
and preserve your warranty claims by always using
original Festool accessories and Festool consum-
able material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festool.com".
11 Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and pack-
aging at an environmentally-responsible recycling
centre. Observe the valid national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
12 Warranty
For our tools, we give warranty for material and
production defects in accordance with the locally
applicable legal provisions, but in any case for at
least 12 months. Within the EU member states,
the warranty period is 24 months (verification
through invoice or delivery note). Damage caused
by, in particular, natural wear, overloading, incor-
rect handling, or damage caused by the operator,
or damage caused through use of the equipment
contrary that specified in the operating manual, or
damage which was known at the time of purchase,
is not covered by the warranty. Furthermore, dam-
age caused by the use of non-original accessories
and consumable materials (e.g. sanding pads) is
also excluded.
Complaints can only be recognised if the tool is
returned while still assembled to the supplier or
an authorised Festool Customer Service workshop.
Keep the operating manual, safety instructions,
spare parts list and purchase receipt in a safe
place. Otherwise the respective, current warranty
conditions of the manufacturer shall apply.
