Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down while in use, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. This appliance has a power cord with equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is rated more than 15 amperes and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts, and is factoryequipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

Intended use
This dust extractor is designed for the aspiration and evacuation of non-toxic, non-hazardous dusts, dirt, sand, shavings etc., and for vacuuming water.
This dust extractor is designed in accordance with IEC 60 335-1 and IEC 60 335-2-69 for a higher loading in industrial use.
The user is solely responsible for any damage or accident caused by using this machine for other than its intended purpose.
Getting started
Electrical connection
The operating voltage shown on the specification plate must be the same as the mains power voltage (wall socket).
Make sure that the dust extractor is switched off when you plug in the power cord.
On/off switch (1.1)
In position O the dust extractor is switched off and the tool plug socket (1.3) is dead.
Two modes of operation are possible:
a) Switch at “MAN” (manual control):
The tool plug socket is live.
Before turning the switch to the “MAN” position, make sure that the tool connected to the tool plug socket is switched off. When you turn the switch to “MAN” the extractor motor will start immediately and will stay on as long as the switch is at this position.
You can also use this mode of operation without a tool connected to the tool plug socket.
b) Switch at “Auto” (automatic tooltriggered operation):
The tool plug socket is live.

Before
turning the switch to the “Auto” position, make sure that the tool connected to the tool plug socket is switched off. When you turn the switch to “Auto” the dust extractor will not come on until you turn on the tool connected to the tool plug socket. When you turn off the tool, the dust extractor will automatically switch off. When you turn the tool back on, the dust extractor will automatically start.
Suction force regulator (1.2)
The suction force regulator lets you set the suction force that works best for the material to be vacuumed up.
Connecting an electric tool
Observe the maximum connected load on the tool plug socket (see “Technical Data”). The tool’s rated power consumption must not exceed this! Plug the tool power cord to the tool plug socket (1.3).
Make sure the tool is switched off 3 when you plug or unplug it!
Use
During the following procedures, take care not to raise unnecessary dust.
Changing the filter bag
- Open locking clips (1.4), remove top section (1.5).
- Change filter bag (2.1) – see instructions printed on filter bag.
- Replace top section, close locking clips. Note: A replacement filter bag can be stored in the storage compartment (5.4).
Changing the filter
Do not operate this dust extractor without a filter, as doing so may damage the motor.
- Open locking clips (1.4), remove top section (1.5).
- Fold over handle (3.1) and remove holder (3.2). - Remove used filter (3.3) and replace with a new one.
- Replace holder and fold over handle until it latches into place.
- Replace top section, close locking clips.
Emptying the dirt trap
The dirt trap (2.2) can be emptied after removing the top section.
Stand
Extending the stand (4.5) keeps the dust extractor from rolling.
To do this, lift the front end of the dust extractor slightly and push the stand downwards until it latches into place.
Press the button (4.4) to release the stand.
Application
The extractor hose (4.2) is connected to the extractor opening by the angle tube (4.1). During operation, the extractor hose goes through the hose opening (4.3).
A Systainer can be attached to the top of the storage area (5.6) via the four locking clips (5.5). Note: If this is done, the power cord must run through opening (5.3).
Vacuuming dry materials
Do not do any dry vacuuming or dust extraction of dry substances without a filter bag in the tank! This protects the motor, and lets you dispose of the evacuated material easily.
The filter becomes damp after evacuating liquids. A damp filter will suffer accelerated wear if it is used for dry materials. Accordingly, allow the filter to dry or replace it with a dry one before dry operation.
Vacuuming liquids
If foam or liquid escapes, stop immediately and empty the tank.
The filter bag must be removed before evacuating liquids. We recommend using a special wet filter for wet vacuuming.
When the maximum fill level is reached, a level stop (3.4) will automatically interrupt extraction.

The antistatic system (AS)
The friction of material running through the suction hose causes electrostatic charges, which can result in unpleasant electric shocks for the operator.
In order to prevent this, this dust extractor has an integrated antistatic system which conducts these static charges to ground. This requires the use of antistatic hoses and accessories.
Temperature control
A heat-triggered limit switch turns off the dust extractor if it reaches a critical temperature, to protect against overheating. If this happens, switch the dust extractor off and let it cool for around 5 minutes. If the dust extractor still cannot be switched back on, consult a Festool service center.
After finishing work
- Switch off the dust extractor and unplug the power cord.
- Empty filter bag and tank.
- Place the suction hose (5.1) and the power cord (5.2) in the top section.
- Clean the dust extractor inside and outside by vacuuming and wiping.
- Leave the dust extractor in a dry area out of reach of unauthorized persons.
Filters and accessories
The accessory and filter order number can be found in your Festool catalog or on the Internet at www.festool-usa.com.
Maintenance and care
Always unplug the power cord from the plug socket before doing any maintenance! Do not attempt any maintenance or repairs involving opening the motor housing. This may be carried out only by an authorized customer service center.
A safety test must be performed at least once a year by the manufacturer or a qualified person, to check for possible leaks and damage to the filter, and to ensure that the control devices are functioning.
