Connecting electric power tools
WARNING
Risk of injury
Observe the maximum connected loads for the
appliance socket (see chapter "Technical data").
Make sure that the power tool is switched off be-
fore connecting or disconnecting.
Connect the electric power tool to the appliance
socket [1-3].
Connecting pneumatic tools
WARNING
Risk of injury
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is switched
off before connecting or disconnecting.
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 work-
shop.
Handling

suction hose through the recess [4-3] and place it

Adjusting the suction power
You can use the suction power adjuster [1-8] to
adapt the machine suction power to different appli-
cations.
AUTOClean - Cleaning the main filter
To maintain a constant suction power when extract-
ing fine dust, you can adjust the frequency of the
automatic [1-7] cleaning system in infinite vari-
ables using the rotary knob. Always use the auto-
matic cleaning system in combination with a dis-
posal bag.
Before performing wet extraction tasks or
working with a filter bag, set the [1-7] rotary
knob to position 0.
Set the automatic cleaning function to the high-
est setting when [1-7] extracting large quanti-
ties of dust.
Manual cleaning
If the suction power decreases, cleaning can
be started manually by turning the switch
[1-9] to the AC symbol positioned on either
side of the switch.
We recommend cleaning the main filter complete-
ly if severely clogged:
Cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with
your hand for 2 seconds.
Turn the switch [1-9] to the AC symbol.
When the CT-VS closing slide is used (order no.:
497926), the filter can be cleaned fully without
removing the connected electric power tools.
In intensive applications that generate adherent
dust, it may be necessary to clean the filter element
mechanically under certain circumstances (ex-
tract). Wear a dust mask!
Folding out the brake lever [1-13] 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 [1-12] again to release.
Working
in the hose store. You can do the same with the
mains cable through the other recess [4-2].
