cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
– Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
– Do not handle plug or dust extractor with wet
hands.
– Do not put any object into openings. Do not use

– Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of
body away from openings and moving parts.
– Turn off all controls before unplugging.
– Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
– Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where
they may be present.
– Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See
Grounding instructions.
– Do not pick up anything that is burning or smok-
ing, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
– Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in
place.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This vacuum cleaner is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into a appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING
- Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qual-
ified 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 dust extractor
- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Polarization Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum
cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
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 ven-
tilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Wash hands after handling.

Operation
Consider the pictures on the fold-out page.
Initial operation
X
Open the locking clips
[2-2]
and remove the top
section of the machine
[2-1]
.
X
Remove the accessories from the dust container
[2-3]
and the packaging!
X
Insert a filter or disposal bag in the dirt trap (see
chapter Changing the filter bag and Changing
the disposal bag).
X
Attach the cable holder to the rear of the mobile
dust extractor (see Fig.
[3]
).
X
Replace the top section
[2-1]
and close the
locking clips
[2-2]
.
X
Connect the suction hose to the machine.
Switch on/off
X
Insert the plug into an earthed socket.
The switch
[1-9]
serves as an On/Off switch. It has
three positions:
Switch position "0"
Appliance socket
[1-3]
is disconnected from the
power, mobile dust extractor is switched off.
"MAN" switch position
Appliance socket
[1-3]
is disconnected from the
power, the mobile dust extractor starts.
"Auto" switch position
Appliance socket
[1-3]
is connected to the power,
the mobile dust extractor starts when the connected tool is switched on.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord diameter as a function of the cord length for this tool.
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one long one.
L
The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cord
.
The antistatic system
Friction inside the extraction hose causes static
electricity to develop during extraction. Operating
personnel may receive unpleasant electric shocks
while working. The mobile dust extractor is fitted
with an antistatic system as standard to discharge
any static electricity that may develop. However, always use the enclosed antistatic extraction hose.
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
X
The mains voltage and the frequency of the power source must correspond with the specifications on the machine's name plate.
X
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
3
CAUTION
Risk of injury from tools starting up unexpectedly
X
Before setting the switch to the "AUTO" or
"MAN" position, make sure that the connected
tool is switched off.

Connecting electric power tools
X
Connect the electric power tool to the appliance
socket
[1-3]
.
Connecting pneumatic tools
If the compressed air module
[1-2]
(496141) is installed, 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.
X
Switch off the mobile dust extractor and allow to
cool for about 5 minutes.
L
If the mobile dust extractor will not switch on
again, please contact a Festool service workshop.
Adjusting the suction power
You can use the suction power adjuster
[1-8]
to
adapt the machine suction power to different applications.
AUTO
Clean
- Cleaning the main filter
To maintain a constant suction power when extracting fine dust, you can adjust the frequency of the
automatic
[1-7]
cleaning system in infinite variables using the rotary knob. Always use the automatic cleaning system in combination with a disposal bag.
Before performing wet extraction tasks or
working with a filter bag, set the
[1-7]
rotary
knob to position 0.
X
Set the automatic cleaning function to the highest 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 completely if severely clogged:
X
Cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with
your hand for 2 seconds.
X
Turn the switch
[1-9]
to the AC symbol.
L
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 (extract). Wear a dust mask!
Applying the brake
Folding out the brake lever
[1-13]
prevents the mobile 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
Handling
Hose store:
after finishing work, you can feed the
suction hose through the recess
[4-3]
and place it
in the hose store. You can do the same with the
mains cable through the other recess
[4-2]
.
WARNING
Risk of injury
X
Observe the maximum connected loads for the
appliance socket (see chapter "Technical data").
X
Make sure that the power tool is switched off before connecting or disconnecting.
WARNING
Risk of injury
X
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is switched
off before connecting or disconnecting.

SysDoc Systainer attachment system:
a Systainer
can be attached to the storage area via the two
slides
[4-1]
.
Extracting dry materials
Remember:
A damp main filter will clog more
quickly when dry materials are extracted. Therefore, dry the main filter before extracting dust or replace the damp filter with a dry one.
Extracting fluids
L
The main filter shall only be used for extracting
dry materials.
Before extracting fluids, remove the filter or disposal bag (see chapter Changing the filter bag
and Changing the disposal bag). We recommend
using a special wet filter.
The dust extractor stops automatically when the
maximum level is reached.
Special features of the CT 36 E AC-LHS
