Festool VL-LHS 225 Guide Extension 500mm For PLANEX Long-Reach Sander

At a Glance: 500mm guide extension for extending the reach of compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders

The Festool VL-LHS 225 guide extension is a practical reach extender for compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders. It gives the operator extra working length when sanding high ceilings and tall wall areas, helping reduce the need to constantly move ladders or erect scaffolding. Compact, purpose-built and easy to fit, this extension is ideal for professional drywall finishing and renovation work where a little extra reach can make the job faster, smoother and far more comfortable.

Extra reach for high ceiling sanding with the PLANEX system

The VL-LHS 225 is designed to extend the guide length of compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders, making it easier to work on high areas while keeping better control of the machine.

Product highlights

Reduces scaffold dependency: In many applications, extra reach can reduce the need for scaffolding.
PLANEX system accessory: Designed specifically for compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders.

Extra Information

This accessory is for the Festool PLANEX long-reach sander system.
It is not suitable for the PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQ long-reach sander.

The 500mm length gives useful extra reach while keeping the machine system practical to control.
Always confirm compatibility with the specific PLANEX model before purchase.

Pro Tips

Use the extension when sanding ceilings or high walls where the standard reach is just short of comfortable.
When working overhead, let the PLANEX and dust extraction system do the hard work instead of forcing the machine into the surface.
For very high ceilings, check whether a second extension will give the reach needed before setting up scaffolding.
Use suitable Festool dust extraction with the PLANEX to keep drywall sanding dust under better control.
Before starting, make sure the extension is securely fitted and the machine feels balanced in your hands.

Confirm that your Festool PLANEX model is compatible with the VL-LHS 225 guide extension.
Switch off and unplug the machine before fitting the extension.
Attach the guide extension securely according to the PLANEX operating instructions.
Check that all locking points are properly engaged before lifting the machine.
Connect the correct Festool dust extractor and suction hose for drywall sanding.
Test the balance and reach of the machine before starting the sanding pass.
Work steadily and avoid forcing the sanding head into the surface.
