Festool RTSC 400 Li 3,0 I-Set Cordless Orbital Sander

At a Glance: 18 V cordless orbital sander with 80 x 130 mm sanding pad, 2 mm sanding stroke, Bluetooth® Ergo batteries and plug-it mains adapter

The Festool RTSC 400 Li 3,0 I-Set is a compact cordless orbital sander designed for smooth, controlled sanding where freedom of movement matters. Its rectangular 80 x 130 mm sanding pad makes it ideal for fine sanding on narrow surfaces, edges, frames, panels and awkward areas where a round sander is not always the right fit. Powered by Festool’s 18 V Bluetooth® Ergo battery system and a brushless EC-TEC motor, the RTSC 400 delivers cable-free convenience with the option of continuous mains operation when fitted with the included plug-it mains adapter.

Cordless freedom with the option of unlimited runtime

The RTSC 400 Li 3,0 I-Set gives you the best of both worlds: mobile battery-powered sanding for site work, vertical surfaces and overhead jobs, plus a mains adapter for longer indoor sanding sessions. Use it with the long-life chip collection bag for quick cordless work or connect it to a Festool mobile dust extractor for cleaner, dust-controlled sanding.

Product highlights

18 V cordless sanding: Work without a power cable when sanding vertically, overhead or away from a plug point.
Bluetooth® Ergo battery packs: Can communicate with compatible Festool Bluetooth® dust extractors for automatic extractor start-up.
Plug-it mains adapter included: Allows continuous mains operation when longer sanding sessions are required.
80 x 130 mm rectangular sanding pad: Ideal for narrow surfaces, frames, edges, panels and detailed flat areas.
2 mm sanding stroke: Designed for fine sanding and smooth finishing work.
Brushless EC-TEC motor: Provides efficient power delivery, long service life and low maintenance.
Integrated dust extraction: Works with the long-life dust collection bag or a compatible Festool dust extractor.
Protector included: Helps protect edges, adjacent surfaces and the sanding pad during close-edge sanding.

Extra Information

The RTSC 400 is especially useful where a rectangular sanding pad gives better access than a round pad.
The Bluetooth® Ergo battery can automatically start a compatible Bluetooth®-enabled Festool dust extractor when the sander is switched on.
The included plug-it mains adapter allows the sander to be used from mains power for longer sanding sessions.
The long-life dust collection bag is reusable and useful when sanding without a connected extractor.
The protector helps when sanding close to windows, frames, panels and finished surfaces.
For best results, use Festool 80 x 133 mm StickFix abrasives matched to the material and sanding stage.

Pro Tips

Use the cordless setup for quick mobile jobs, then switch to the plug-it mains adapter when doing longer indoor sanding sessions.
Use the protector when sanding close to glass, frames, panelling or finished edges to help prevent accidental scuffing.
For the cleanest finish, work through the abrasive grits gradually instead of jumping from coarse to fine.
Keep the sander flat on the surface and avoid pressing too hard; light, even pressure produces a better sanding pattern.
Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor when sanding paint, filler, MDF or other dusty materials indoors.

How to Use

Fit the correct 80 x 133 mm StickFix abrasive sheet to the sanding pad.
Insert a charged Festool 18 V Ergo battery pack, or fit the plug-it mains adapter for continuous mains operation.
Attach the long-life dust collection bag or connect a compatible Festool dust extractor.
Fit the protector if sanding close to edges, frames or adjacent surfaces.
Select the correct speed setting for the material and sanding task.
Place the sanding pad flat on the workpiece before switching the machine on.
Guide the sander evenly across the surface with light, controlled pressure.
Move progressively through the required abrasive grits until the desired finish is achieved.
Allow the sanding pad to stop before lifting the machine from the surface.
Remove the battery or disconnect the mains adapter before cleaning, changing accessories or storing the machine.

Features

Battery-powered drive: Gives freedom of movement for mobile work and awkward sanding positions.
EC-TEC brushless motor: Delivers efficient sanding power with reduced maintenance.
MMC electronics: Provides constant adjustable speed and temperature monitoring for material-specific sanding.
StickFix abrasive fastening: Allows quick and economical abrasive changes without clamps or adhesives.
Turbo dust extraction: Helps keep the work area cleaner and improves visibility on the surface.
CLEANTEC connection: Allows connection to Festool dust extraction systems.
Vibration protection: Supports smoother operation and more comfortable sanding over longer periods.
Protector system: Helps reduce rework when sanding close to frames, panels and adjoining surfaces.
Plug-it compatibility: Allows the battery pack to be replaced with the mains adapter for continuous operation.

Benefits

More mobility: No cable dragging over the surface when sanding doors, frames, vertical panels or overhead areas.
Better edge control: The rectangular pad and protector make it easier to sand close to edges without damaging nearby surfaces.
Cleaner working: Use the long-life dust bag for portable sanding or connect a Festool extractor for stronger dust control.
Less downtime: The set includes battery power, charging support and a mains adapter for flexible working options.
Professional finish: The 2 mm sanding stroke is well suited to fine sanding, surface preparation and finishing work.
Comfortable one-handed control: The compact design and balanced weight distribution make the machine easy to guide.

Application

Cable-free sanding where no power connection is available or where access is difficult

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when sanding wood, filler, paint, varnish, primer or coated materials.
Use dust extraction or the supplied long-life dust collection bag to reduce airborne dust.
Take extra care when sanding old paint, varnish, filler, MDF or unknown coatings, as the dust may be harmful.
Secure the workpiece properly before sanding.
Do not apply excessive pressure; let the abrasive and sanding stroke do the work.
Keep hands clear of the moving sanding pad during operation.
Remove the battery or disconnect the mains adapter before changing abrasives, fitting accessories or cleaning the machine.
Allow the sanding pad to stop completely before setting the tool down.
Use the protector when sanding close to delicate edges, glass or finished surfaces.
Store batteries, charger, mains adapter and machine in a clean, dry place when not in use.
