GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-

vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This dust extractor is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor

and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

- Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person

if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the dust extractor - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit

and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure beside.

Make sure that the appliance is connected to an out-

let having the same configuration as the plug. No

adaptor should be used with this appliance.

Polarization Instructions

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum

cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only

one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug

in any way.

Further safety instructions

–Thisappliancemustnotbeused by persons (including children) with reduced phys-

ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.

Children

need to be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

Health hazard by dust

WARNING!

Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction

activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•leadfromlead-basedpaints,

•crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandother

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

lumber.

The risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as dust

masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-

scopic particles. Wash hands after handling.

Functional description

The pictures for the functional description are on a

fold-out page at the beginning of the instruction

manual. When reading of the manual you can fold

out this page for having always an overview of the

machine.

Accessories shown or described are sometimes not

included in the scope of delivery.

Intended use

The dust extractor is designed for use as specified

for the aspiration and evacuation of non-noxious

dusts, dirt, sand, shavings etc..

The dust extractor is designed as specified for vac-

uuming water.

The dust extractor is designed for household, com-

mercial or both use.

The dust extractor is designed for outdoor use and

indoor storage.

The filtering performance of the overall unit, which

is fitted with a HEPA filter element, corresponds to

HEPA quality 13 (medium degree of filtration

99.95%).

All CT extractors fitted with the HEPA filter element

have HEPA certification both for the filter material

and the whole dust extractor.

Operation

Consider the pictures on the fold-out page.

WARNING

The user will be liable for damage due to improp-

er use.

WARNING

Unauthorised voltage or frequency!

Risk of accident



The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-

er source must correspond with the specifica-

tions on the machine's name plate.



In North America, only Festool machines with

the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be

used.



Replace the top section

[2-1]

and close the

locking clips

[2-2]



Connect the suction hose to the machine.

Switch on/off



Insert the plug into an earthed socket.

The switch

[1-8]

serves as an On/Off switch. It has

three positions:

Switch position "0"

Appliance socket

[1-3]

is disconnected from the

power, mobile dust extractor is switched off.

"MAN" switch position

Appliance socket

[1-3]

is disconnected from the

power, the mobile dust extractor starts.

"Auto" switch position

Appliance socket

[1-3]

is connected to the power,

the mobile dust extractor starts when the connect-

ed tool is switched on.

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi-

cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in

voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage

reduces the output and can lead to failure of the

motor. The table below shows you the correct cord

diameter as a function of the cord length for this

tool.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

Never use two extension cords together. Instead,

use one long one.



The lower the AWG number, the stronger the

cord.

The antistatic system

Friction inside the extraction hose causes static

electricity to develop during extraction. Operating

personnel may receive unpleasant electric shocks

while working. The mobile dust extractor is fitted

with an antistatic system as standard to discharge

any static electricity that may develop. However, al-

ways use the enclosed antistatic extraction hose.

CAUTION

Risk of injury from tools starting up unexpectedly



Before setting the switch to the "AUTO" or

"MAN" position, make sure that the connected

tool is switched off.

Connecting electric power tools



Connect the electric power tool to the appliance

socket

[1-3]

Connecting pneumatic tools

If the compressed air module

[1-2]

(496141) is in-

stalled, the automatic switch-on function of the

mobile dust extractor also works in combination

with pneumatic tools.

We also recommend installing the VE service unit

(495886). The service unit filters and lubricates the

compressed air and enables an adjustment of the

air pressure. An IAS adapter (454757) is available to

connect Festool pneumatic tools to the IAS system.

The operating pressure of the tool must be 6 bar for

the automatic switch-on unit to function correctly.

Temperature cut-out

To prevent overheating, a temperature cut-out

switches the mobile dust extractor off when it

reaches a critical temperature.



Switch off the mobile dust extractor and allow to

cool for about 5 minutes.



If the mobile dust extractor will not switch on

again, please contact a Festool service workshop.

Adjusting the suction power

You can use the suction power adjuster

[1-7]

to adapt

the machine suction power to different applications.

Applying the brake

Folding out the brake lever

[1-12]

prevents the mo-

bile dust extractor from rolling. To achieve this, lift

the front end of the mobile dust extractor slightly

and push the brake lever downwards until it latches

into place. Push the lever

[1-11]

again to release.
