4.2 Emptying the dirt trap
The dirt trap (2.2) can be emptied once the
top part has been removed.
4.3 Stand/Brake
Folding out the stand (4.5) prevents the
mobile dust extractor from rolling away. To
achieve this, lift the front end of the mobile
dust extractor slightly and push the stand
down-wards until it latches into place. Press
the button to release the stand (4.4).
5 Application
The extractor hose (4.2) is connected to
the extractor opening by the angle bracket
(4.1). During machine operation, the ex-
tractor hose is inserted through the opening
(4.3). A Systainer can be attached to the
storage area (5.6) via the four locking clips
(5.5).
5.1 Vacuuming dry materials
Before using the vacuum cleaner to
evacuate dry substances, a fi lter bag
must always be inserted in the con-
tainer. Then the evacuated material
can be disposed off easily.
The fi lter element becomes damp after
evacuating liquids. A damp fi lter element
suffers more wear and tear if it is used for
dry materials. Accordingly, the fi lter ele-
ment should be dried or replaced with a dry
one before dry operation.
5.2 Vacuuming liquids
The fi lter bag has to be removed be-
fore evacuating liquids. We recom-
mend use of a special wet fi lter.
When the maximum fi lling level is reached,
a level indicator (3.1) automatically inter-
rupts extraction.
Do not evacuate combustible liquids!
If foam or liquid escapes, stop work
immediately and empty the dirt con-
tainer.
5.3 The antistatic system (AS)
Friction in the suction hose causes electro-
static charges which can result in unple-
asant 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.
6 After fi nishing work
- Switch off the cleaner and pull the plug of
the mains lead out of the plug socket.
- Empty dirt tank.
- Insert the suction hose (5.1) and con-
necting pipe (5.2) in the top section. The
mains cable then has to be inserted th-
rough the opening (5.3).
- Clean the vacuum cleaner inside and out-
side by suction and wiping.
- Deposit the appliance in a dry room, safe
from unauthorised use.
7 Temperature control
A temperature fuse switches the dust ex-
tractor off before this reaches a critical
temperature to protect 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.
8 Maintenance and care
Always remove the mains plug from
the socket before carrying out any
maintenance work!
Any maintenance and repair work
requiring an opening of the motor
housing may only be carried out
by an authoris-ed customer service
workshop.
A safety test is to be carried out at least
once a year by the manufacturer or an in-
structed person, e.g. for possible damage
to the fi lter and leaks in the appliance,
and to ensure that the control devices are
functioning.
