Technical data RO 125 EQ
Power 500 W
Speed 3000 - 6000 rpm
Sanding stroke 3.6 mm
Weight (excluding cable 1.9 kg
Degree of protection / II
The specified illustrations can be found at the
beginning of the operating instructions.
1 Intended use
As specified, the machines are designed for
sanding and polishing wood, plastic, metal,
stone, composite materials, paint/varnish, filler
and similar materials.
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 Before starting up, please observe
the following
2.1 Safety instructions
Before using the machine, please read
the enclosed safety instructions.
- Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types
of wood and metal). Contact with these
dusts, especially inhaling them, can represent
a ha ard 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 protective mask.
- 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
occur during sanding.
2.2 Noise and vibration information
The typical values determined in accordance
with EN 50144 are:
Measured acceleration 5 m/s²
Sound pressure level 1 dB(A)
Wear ear protection!
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specification on the rating plate.
To switch on the machine, press the switch
(1.2) downwards and forwards until it locks
into place. To switch off, press the switch
downwards - this releases the switch locking
and it goes into the OFF position.
ee Fig. 2 for connection and disconnection of
the power cable.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
lead!
4 Electronics
The machine has full-wave electronics
with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the router starts
up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
3000 and 6000 rpm using the adjusting wheel
(1.6). This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material.
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant
whether the machine is in operation or in neu-
tral position.
Temperature control
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a
critical motor temperature. Let the machine
cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes before
using it again. The machine requires less time
to cool down if it is running, i.e. in neutral
position.
5 Machine settings
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out
any work on the machine.
5.1 Sanding motion
You can use the switch (1.1) to set two diffe-
rent sanding motions.
The change can only be made when
the sanding pad is stationary, as the
switch is locked in place during
operation for reasons of safety.

Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding,
polishing)
The Rotex rotary motion is a
combination of rotary and eccentric
motions. This position is selected for
sanding with high output (coarse
sanding) and polishing.
Slide the switch (1.1) into the right position.
Eccentric motion (fine sanding)
This position is selected for sanding
with low output for a scratch-free
surface (fine sanding).
Press the switch (1.1) downwards and push it
into the left-hand position.
5.2 Sanding pad brake
The rubber collar (3.1) prevents the sanding
pad from revving up to maximum speed in an
uncontrolled manner during eccentric motion
(fine sanding) .
Because the collar wears down in the course
of time, it has to be replaced by a new one
(order no. 53 388) as soon as there is any
reduction in the braking effect.
5.3 Choice and installation of the
sanding disks
Choise 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!
Assembly
The FastFix system enables tool-free
replacement of the sanding pad:
- Set the switch (1.1) to the right, to the otex
rotary motion
- Press the spindle stop (1.5)
- Turn the fitted sanding pad from the spindle
(right-handed thread)
- Keep the spindle stop pressed and screw on
the new sanding pad (in doing so, make sure
that the rubber collar (3.1) is correctly fitted!)
- let go of the spindle stop
Actuate the spindle stop only when the drive
spindle is stationary. Do not switch on the
motor when the spindle stop is pressed in.
5.4 Attaching sanding material
The appropriate Stickfix sanding paper and
Stickfix sanding felt can be fastened quickly and
easily onto the Stickfix sanding base.
The self-adhesive sanding material is simply
pressed onto the sanding base (1.7 and held
safely in place by the Stickfix sanding base
velcro surface. After use, the StickFix
sandpaper is simply pulled off.
5.5 Securing polishing attachments
To prevent damage, PoliStick polishing
attachments (sponges, felt, lambswool
bonnets) may only be used on the special
polishing pad that is fitted on the machine
instead of a sanding pad. In the same way as
the Stick ix abrasives, the PoliStick polishing
attachments are simply pressed onto the
polishing pad and pulled off after use.
5.6 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
You can connect a Festool extractor with an
extractor hose diameter of 27 mm to the
extractor connector (1.4).
6 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
For safe guidance, hold the machine with one
hand on the motor housing (1.3) and one hand
on the gear head (1. ).
Never overload the tool by using too much
pressure! 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.
Tables A and B show the settings we
recommend for different sanding and polishing
work.
6.1 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be
taken when processing metals for
safety reasons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust
extractor.
- Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
- Wear protective goggles.
7 Accessories, tools
For your own safety, use only original
Festool accessories and spare parts.
Festool offers the appropriate accessories,
sanding and polishing attachments for every
application.
The accessory and tool order number can be
found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under www.festool.com.

8 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out
any work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an
authorised service centre.
The cool air openings in the motor casing must
always be kept clean and unobstructed to
ensure air circulation.
The tool is fitted with special motor brushes
with an automatic cut-out. When the brushes
become worn the power supply is shut off
automatically and the tool comes to a
standstill.

12 months with regard to material or
production faults in accordance with national
legislation.
In the EU countries, the warranty period is 24
months (an in oice or deli ery note is required

Damage resulting from, in particular, normal
wear and tear, o- erloading, improper handling,
or caused by the user or other damage caused
by not following the operating instructions, or
any fault acknowledged at the time of
