Festool Rotex Sander – Maintenance & Safety
The Rotex is straightforward and easy to use, but like any power tool, it’s important to look after it and use it safely.
Is there any maintenance I should perform? How do I use my sander safely?
The most common part to wear is the brake for the sanding pad. If the pad takes a long time to stop spinning after the sander is turned off, check the rubber collar. Replace it if it has worn out (Photos 5 & 6).
Photo 5 – A good pad brake should have visible notches on the rim.
Photo 6 – If the rim is flat with few or no notches, it is time to replace the rubber collar.
Other than that, maintenance is minimal. Use a dust extractor vacuum to periodically clean under the sanding pad and around the motor intakes.
Wear proper safety gear when operating a machine, and observe these safety guidelines and all other safety advice given in the user manual.
- Avoid using the sander in a wet environment.
- Let the motor come to a stop before placing the sander on the bench or changing sandpaper.
- Unplug the machine before changing accessories.
