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 Festool-service centre.

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 compressed-air module (1.9) (452829) is fitted, the automatic cut-in of the appliance also operates in conjunction with compressed-air tools.

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 compressed-air tools with the IAS system.

To ensure trouble-free functioning of the auto- matic cut-in, the operating pressure of the tool must be 6 bar.

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),

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.
