Electrical connection
The operating voltage and frequency shown on the specification plate must be the same as the mains power voltage (wall socket).
Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is switched off when you plug the power cable in.
The antistatic system (AS)
Friction in the suction hose causes electrostatic charges which can result in unpleasant electric shocks for the operator. In order to conduct these static charges to earth, the extraction units are provided with an antistatic system as a standard feature. However, antistatic hoses and accessories have to be used in this case.
The antistatic function will only work if the plug is plugged into a totally earthed socket.
Temperature control
A temperature fuse switches the dust extractor off before this reaches a critical temperature to pro- tect against overheating - switch dust extractor off and leave for around 5 minutes to cool down.
If the dust extractor still cannot be switched back on, please consult a
Connecting the suction hose
Connect the suction hose at the extraction open- ing (1.7).
Connecting an electric tool
Observe the maximum connected load on the ap- pliance plug socket (see “Technical Data“)!
Make sure that the electric tool is switched off when plugging it in and unplugging it.
Connect the electric tool to the appliance plug socket (1.2).
Connecting pneumatic tools
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is switched off when plugging it in and unplug- ging it.
When the
We also recommend fitting of the VE supply unit (452797). The supply unit filters and oils the compressed air and allows the air pressure to be regulated.
An IAS connecting piece (454757) is available for connecting Festool
To ensure
Equipment
•Tools or accessories can be stowed in the storage compartments (1.6, not with CT 22 E HEPA).
•A systainer can be fixed on the shelf with the two clamps (1.1).
•An air blast is obtained by inserting a suction hose in the blast opening (2.7).
•Stand / Brake: the wheels can be blocked by the brakes (2.8), thus preventing the vacuum cleaner from rolling away unexpectedly.
Operation
On/off switch
In position O (1.3) the vacuum cleaner is switched off and the appliance plug socket (1.2) is dead.
Two modes of operation are possible:
a) Switch position „MAN“
The appliance plug socket is dead. The cleaner motor starts immediately.
b) Switch position „Auto“
Before turning the switch to the „Auto“ position, ensure that the tool connected to the appliance plug socket is switched off.
The appliance plug socket is live.
The cleaner motor starts only when the tool con- nected to the appliance plug socket is switched on.
Suction force regulator
The suction force regulator (1.4) can be used to vary the suction capacity. This permits a precise adaptation to different substances to be picked up.
Opening/closing the
vacuum cleaner
–Open retaining clamps (2.2) ,
–Raise upper part (2.4) until support catch (2.5) engages.
Follow the reverse order to close the appliance. You must raise the upper part slightly before de- pressing or disengaging the support.
Emptying the dirt container
Always remove the upper part of the vacuum cleaner before emptying the dirt container (2.10)!
–Open the vacuum cleaner,
–Raise the upper part slightly, depress the support (2.5),
–Raise the upper part to the stop (vertical posi- tion),
