Festool ETSC 125 3,0 I-Set 18V Cordless Random Orbital Sander

At a Glance: Compact 125mm cordless random orbital sander with two 18V 3.0Ah Bluetooth® Ergo batteries, brushless EC-TEC motor, mains adapter and complete Systainer³ storage system.

Enjoy outstanding freedom of movement without sacrificing professional sanding performance with the Festool ETSC 125 3,0 I-Set Cordless Random Orbital Sander. Its compact one-handed design, low overall height and perfectly balanced weight distribution make it exceptionally comfortable for sanding vertical surfaces, overhead areas, narrow components and hard-to-reach sections. The powerful 18V Bluetooth® Ergo battery works together with the maintenance-free brushless EC-TEC motor to deliver consistent performance comparable to a mains-powered sander. A fine 2mm sanding stroke produces smooth, refined surfaces, making the ETSC 125 ideal for intermediate and finish sanding of timber, paint, varnish, fillers and coated materials. For unrestricted operating time, the battery pack can be replaced with the included ACA 220-240/18V Ergo mains adapter, transforming the cordless machine into a continuously powered sander. With two batteries, rapid charger, reusable Longlife dust bag, edge protector and SYS3-COMBI M 287 Systainer³, this comprehensive set is ready for demanding workshop, installation and mobile finishing applications.

Cordless mobility with the option of unlimited mains operation

The ETSC 125 gives professionals the freedom to sand without a cable or extraction hose whenever mobility is essential. For longer stationary applications, simply replace the Ergo battery with the supplied mains adapter and connect a compatible Festool mobile dust extractor for continuous, efficient operation.

Product Highlights

  • Complete professional set: Includes two 3.0Ah batteries, rapid charger, mains adapter and organised Systainer³ storage.

Extra Information

  • The ETSC 125 can be operated from either a Festool 18V Ergo battery pack or the supplied ACA 220-240/18V Ergo mains adapter.
  • The two supplied BP 18 Li 3,0 Ergo I battery packs feature Bluetooth® communication for compatible Festool dust extractors.
  • When paired with a Bluetooth®-compatible CLEANTEC extractor in AUTO mode, switching on the sander automatically starts the extractor.
  • The Longlife dust collection bag is manufactured from durable polyester fleece and can be emptied and reused.
  • The PROTECTOR is removable and is particularly useful when sanding close to glazing, frames, panels and adjoining finished surfaces.
  • The soft sanding pad supplied with the machine is suitable for general-purpose and fine sanding applications.
  • The nine-hole Jetstream system must be used with correctly aligned compatible abrasives to obtain the best dust-extraction performance.
  • The included mains adapter is intended for continuous indoor operation and works especially well with a Festool mobile dust extractor.
  • The SYS3-COMBI M 287 combines machine storage with a separate lower drawer for accessories and consumables.
  • Abrasive discs and a mobile dust extractor are not included unless specifically stated otherwise.

Pro Tips

  • Allow the sander&s own weight and orbital action to perform the work instead of applying excessive downward pressure.
  • Begin with a coarser abrasive for material removal and progress through finer grits without skipping too many grit stages.
  • Align the abrasive holes accurately with the Jetstream sanding pad to maintain effective airflow and dust extraction.
  • Use the PROTECTOR when sanding near window glass, finished trim or adjoining surfaces that must not be marked.
  • Empty the Longlife dust bag regularly before it becomes tightly packed, as restricted airflow can reduce extraction performance.
  • Pair both Bluetooth® battery packs with the compatible extractor before beginning a large project.
  • Use cordless operation for mobile and overhead tasks, then change to the mains adapter for extended bench or workshop sanding.
  • Replace worn sanding pads and damaged abrasives promptly to maintain smooth running and consistent finishing quality.

How to Use

  • Inspect the sander, sanding pad, battery pack and abrasive before beginning work.
  • Select a suitable 125mm StickFix abrasive for the material and required finish.
  • Centre the sanding disc on the pad and align all extraction holes with the Jetstream openings.
  • Fit the PROTECTOR when sanding close to edges, glazing or adjoining finished surfaces.
  • Attach the Longlife dust bag for fully mobile sanding or connect a compatible D27 suction hose.
  • Slide a charged BP 18 Li 3,0 Ergo I battery pack into the machine until it locks securely.
  • For continuous mains operation, install the ACA 220-240/18V Ergo adapter instead of the battery and connect the plug it cable.
  • Select an appropriate speed for the material and abrasive grit.
  • Place the complete sanding pad flat against the workpiece before guiding the machine across the surface.
  • Move the sander in smooth, overlapping passes without tilting the pad or applying excessive pressure.
  • Check the abrasive and dust collection system regularly during extended work.
  • Switch off the machine and wait for the sanding pad to stop completely before lifting it from the surface.
  • Remove the battery or disconnect the mains adapter before changing abrasives, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
  • Empty the Longlife dust bag and return the machine and accessories to the Systainer³ after use.
