General Safety Rules

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut- tered and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explo- sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Appli- ances create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the vacuum cleaner. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is nec- essary when used by or near children.

Electrical Safety

This vacuum cleaner intended only for use indoor and for dry or wet pick-up.

The power tool outlet is grounded and the vacuum cleaner must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the vacuum cleaners should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Do not insert objects like paper clips or screwdrivers into power tool outlet. The outlet is live when the vacuum cleaner is plugged into power source and switch is set to power tool activation mode or filter cleaning mode. Electric shock may occur.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig- erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating the vacuum cleaner in damp locations is unavoid- able; a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your vacuum cleaner. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will fur- ther enhance your personal safety.

Don’t expose vacuum cleaner to rain or wet conditions. This vacuum cleaner can be used for picking up non-flammable liquids but it is not intended to be immersed or submerged in a fluid. Electric shock may occur.

Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Electric shock may occur.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the vacuum cleaner, pull the vacuum cleaner or yank the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Don’t drive over it or close a door on it. Damaged cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

When operating a vacuum cleaner outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W- A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to Recommended sizes of Extension Cords in the Accessory section of this manual.

Personal Safety and Vac-

uum Cleaner Use

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner. Do not use vacuum cleaner while tired

CT 22 E HEPA, CT 33 E HEPA specifications

The Festool CT 33 E HEPA and CT 22 E HEPA are exceptional dust extractors designed for professionals in the woodworking and construction industries. Known for their robust construction, innovative technology, and user-centric design, these models cater to a range of applications, ensuring a cleaner workspace and improved air quality.

The CT 33 E HEPA model is particularly noted for its impressive capacity and powerful suction ability. With a 33-liter container, it accommodates larger jobs without frequent emptying. This model comes equipped with a HEPA filter, capable of capturing 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, thereby reducing airborne dust significantly. The HEPA filter’s effectiveness makes it an ideal choice for environments where fine dust particles may cause respiratory issues or where compliance with stringent regulations is necessary.

On the other hand, the CT 22 E HEPA model is designed for versatility and ease of use. With a slightly smaller 22-liter container, it strikes a balance between portability and capacity. It also includes the HEPA filter for optimal dust containment and enhanced air quality. The compact design of the CT 22 E makes it easier to transport between job sites while still maintaining a powerful suction performance that meets the demands of any professional.

Both models feature the innovative Festool AutoClean technology, which automatically cleans the filter during operation, ensuring consistent suction power without manual intervention. This feature prolongs the life of the filter and minimizes maintenance time, allowing users to focus on their tasks rather than equipment upkeep.

Another key characteristic of these dust extractors is the integrated noise reduction system, which significantly lowers the operational sound level. This makes them suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments, such as residential areas or indoor settings. Additionally, the dust extractors are equipped with a swiveling hose that enhances maneuverability and reduces the risk of tangles while moving around the work area.

Moreover, both models can be paired seamlessly with Festool power tools utilizing the Systainer system for optimal dust extraction, further streamlining the workflow. The durability of the casing and components ensures longevity and reliability, making the CT 33 E HEPA and CT 22 E HEPA excellent investments for professionals seeking high-performance dust extraction solutions. By integrating advanced technologies with user-friendly features, Festool continues to set the standard for dust extraction systems in various industries.
