Extra Information

• This is the older Vermont-listed version with Cat No. FES576057.
• The current Festool RTS 400 REQ-Plus may appear under a newer Festool product number, but this content is written around your older Vermont stock code.
• The rectangular 80 x 130 mm sanding pad is useful where a round sander cannot reach neatly along frames, rails and narrow panels.
• The Longlife chip collection bag can be emptied and reused, making it practical for smaller jobs without a dust extractor.
• For cleaner sanding and longer abrasive life, connect the sander to a suitable Festool dust extractor where possible.

Safety

• Wear eye, ear and dust protection when sanding wood, paint, varnish, filler or coated materials.
• Always read and follow the manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions before use.
• Use suitable dust extraction or the supplied chip collection bag to reduce sanding dust.
• Check that the sanding pad and abrasive are correctly fitted before switching on the machine.
• Do not use torn, damaged or incorrectly fitted abrasives.
• Keep the sanding pad flat on the workpiece to avoid uneven sanding marks.
• Allow the sanding pad to stop fully before putting the machine down.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply before changing abrasives, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
• Ensure the workpiece is stable and properly supported before sanding.
