What’s a brake in my Festool sander, and when do I need to replace it?

The brake is designed to keep constant pressure to the pad, and stop the pad quickly once you turn the sander off.

If the pad free spins in Random orbit mode on the RO tools, or normal mode on ETS range, the brake rubber needs to be replaced. Send the tool to the Melbourne Festool service centre via
www.festool.com.au or see your closest Authorized repair agent.
