12 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
13 Do not use this appliance to vacuum
flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline, or vacuum in areas where these may
be present.
14 Connect to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions.
15 Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes. Do not use this appliance to
extract flammable or explosive dusts (such
as magnesium, aluminum, etc.). Risk of
explosion!
16 Do not use without dust bag and/or
filters in place.
17 Do not use to vacuum up caustic or

21 Use only accessories approved by Festool
(see the Festool Catalog).
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.
2
No adapter should be used with this appliance.
If the appliance must be reconnected for use on
a different type of electric circuit, the
reconnection must be made by qualified service
personnel.

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 tools
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
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.
