The PLANEX LHS 2 M is the most versatile of Festool's long-reach sanders. Ready to go in next to no time: Simply unpack it from the handy carrying bag, switch it on and get to work. The eccentric sanding motion produces a high surface quality on walls and ceilings with the greatest of ease.

 
Whether working on walls or ceilings, the eccentric sanding motion of the new PLANEX LHS 2-M will deliver a high-quality finish free of scratches. The adjustable suction power means that you can sand walls and ceilings without tiring – reducing the strain on your arms and back. Its working length of 1.4 metres is ideal for all standard room heights. What's more, the practical T-shaped handle provides additional reach. "The new PLANEX LHS 2-M is the perfect addition to our Festool PLANEX family, bridging the gap between the PLANEX Easy and the top-of-the-range PLANEX LHS 2," explains Product Manager Simon Gröger.

Suction power for ergonomic working
The adjustable suction power means that the new PLANEX M holds it own weight against the wall and ceiling – significantly reducing the strain on both the back and the arms while sanding. A high-quality scratch-free surface is guaranteed by the eccentric sanding motion. The PLANEX LHS 2-M can be packed away quickly and securely in the carrying bag before and after use. Measuring 1.4 metres, the mid-range sander is the optimum working length for standard room heights. Taller heights are within easy reach too by virtue of the practical T-shaped handle. The new PLANEX LHS 2-M also has the perfect recipe for a long service life: Namely, hard-wearing, high-quality components and a brushless yet powerful EC-TEC motor.

Dust-free work

High volumes of hazardous sanding dust are generated when sanding plasterboard, walls and ceilings. Fortunately, the Festool system has devised the perfect solution to this problem: The CT 36 E AC-PLANEX mobile dust extractor is designed to work perfectly with the new PLANEX long-reach sander, allowing users to work in a low-dust environment at all times, without risking their health. To round things off, there is also a choice of abrasives perfectly matched to the PLANEX: The GRANAT abrasive, for instance, produces the best possible surface quality and low-dust sanding.

The new LHS 2-M 225 EQ long-reach sander will be available from October in selected specialist retailers. Visit www.festool.co.uk or contact a specialist retailer for more information.
