Electrical outlet module circuit breaker
If the maximum connected load at the electrical
outlet module of the power tool is exceeded, the
circuit breaker separates the electrical outlet
module from the voltage supply.

Connecting pneumatic tools
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Switch off the air tool.
If the compressed air module
[1-2]
(496141) is
installed, the automatic switch-on function of
the mobile dust extractor also works in combi
nation with air tools.
We also recommend installing the VE service
unit (495886). The service unit filters and lubri
cates the compressed air and enables an ad
justment of the air pressure. An IAS adapter
(454757) is available to connect Festool air tools
to the IAS system.
The operating pressure of the tool must be 6
bar for the automatic switch-on unit to function
correctly.
