7.1 Connecting electric power tools

Risk of injury »> Observe the maximum connected loads for the appliance socket (see chapter "Technical data"). »> Make sure that the power tool is switched off before connecting or disconnecting. > Connect the electric power tool to the ap- pliance socket [1-3]. Following installation of the socket module (included in the scope of delivery of the CTL 26 E SD), you can use the mobile dust ex- tractor as follows: - CTL 26 E SD E/A: Socket module with au- tomatic switch-on function for the use of two electric power tools: e.g. 2 sanders, 1 jigsaw + 1 sander - CTL 26 E SD: Socket module with perma- nent power supply for use as extension ca- ble: e.g. charger, lamp, etc. © The total power drawn, independently of the socket type, must not exceed the printed value.

7.2 Connecting pneumatic tools

Risk of injury »> Make sure that the pneumatic tool is switched off before connecting or discon- necting. If the compressed air module [1-2](496141; included in scope of delivery of CTL 36 E LE, CTL 36 E LE AC) is installed, the automatic switch-on function of the mobile dust extrac- tor also works in combination with air tools. We also recommend installing the VE service unit (495886). The service unit filters and lu- bricates the compressed air and enables an adjustment of the air pressure. An IAS adapter (454757) is available to connect Fes- tool air tools to the IAS system. The operating pressure of the tool must be 6 bar for the automatic switch-on unit to func- tion correctly.

7.3 Adjusting the suction power

You can use the suction power adjuster [1-9] to adapt the machine suction power to differ- ent applications.

7.4 Applying the brake

Folding out the black brake lever [1-13] pre- vents the mobile dust extractor from rolling. To achieve this, lift the front end of the mo- bile dust extractor slightly and push the black brake lever downwards until it latches into place. Push the green lever [1-12] again to release.

7.5 Temperature cut-out

To prevent overheating, a temperature cut- out switches the mobile dust extractor off when it reaches a critical temperature. »> Switch off the mobile dust extractor and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. © Ifthe mobile dust extractor will not switch on again, please contact a Festool service workshop.

7.6 Changing the filter bag

Removing the filter bag [4] > Open the locking clips [2-2] and remove the top section of the machine[2-1]. > Remove the filter bag. »> Dispose of the used filter bag in accor- dance with statutory regulations. »> Clean the dust container [2-3]. Inserting the filter bag [5] »> Insert a new filter bag (FIS-CT 26/36) in the inlet port of the dust container and in- terlock it. Important: be aware that the locking engages. »> Replace the top section [2-1] and close the locking clips [2-2]. © Make sure that the filter bag is not pinched between the top and bottom sec- tions.

7.7 Changing the disposal bag

Removing the disposal bag [6] > Open the locking clips [2-2] and remove the top section of the machine[2-1]. »> Close the disposal bag. > Remove the disposal bag. »> Dispose of the used disposal bag in accor- dance with statutory regulations. »> Clean the dust container [2-3].

Inserting the disposal bag [7] » Insert a new disposal bag (ENS-CT26/36) on the inlet nozzle of the container and lock in position. Important: The lateral openings on the disposal bag must be positioned inside the container. Make sure that the bolt engag- es. » Place the disposal bag over the edge of the container. Make sure that the contacts [10-2] are free. »> Replace the top section [2-1] and close the locking clips [2-2]. 8 Working

Hose store: after finishing work, you can feed the suction hose through the recess [8- 3] and place it in the hose store. You can do the same with the mains cable through the other recess [8-2]. SysDoc Systainer attachment system: a Systainer can be attached to the storage area via the two slides [8-1].

8.2 AUTOClean - Cleaning the main

filter (only versions with Auto- Clean) To maintain a constant suction power when extracting fine dust, you can adjust the fre- quency of the automatic [1-7] cleaning sys- tem in infinite variables using the rotary knob. Always use the automatic cleaning system in combination with a disposal bag (in line with dust class 'L' requirements). Before performing wet extraction tasks or working with a filter bag, set the [1- 7] rotary knob to position 0. » Set the automatic cleaning function to the highest setting when [1-7] extracting large quantities of dust. Manual cleaning If the suction power decreases, clean- [ac] ing can be started manually by turning the switch [1-8] to the AC symbol po- sitioned on either side of the switch. We recommend cleaning the main filter completely if severely clogged: » Set the suction power adjuster [1-9] to the maximum setting. > Cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with your hand for 10 seconds.

» Turn the switch to the [1-8] AC symbol. © When the CT-VS closing slide is used (or- der no.: 497926), the filter can be cleaned fully without removing the con- nected electric power tools. In intensive applications that generate ad- herent dust, it may be necessary to clean the filter element mechanically under certain cir- cumstances (extract). Wear a dust mask!

8.3 Special features of the CTL 36 E

AC- LHS To use the mobile dust extractor in combina- tion with the PLANEX: »> Use the accompanying kink-resistant suc- tion hose D 36 mm x 3.5 m-AS. > Use the accompanying special suction sleeve to connect the PLANEX. » Insert the accompanying CT-VS closing slide between the intake opening [1-1] and the suction hose. »> Fit the tool holder as described in the ac- companying installation instructions. »> When performing extraction work with the PLANEX, always use disposal bags to pre- vent dust from escaping into the sur- rounding area.

8.4 Extracting dry materials

IN® Hazardous dust Damage to the respiratory passage » Use a filter or disposal bag when extract- ing hazardous materials! CAUTION Observe the following when extracting dust generated by operating electric power tools: If the exhaust air is discharged back into the room, the air renewal rate L within the room must be sufficient. The volume of air discharged back into the room must not ex- ceed 50% of the fresh air volume flow (room volume VA x air renewal rate Ly). Observe all the relevant regional regulations. Remember: À moist main filter clogs more quickly when extracting dry materials. Therefore, dry the main filter before extract- ing dust or replace the damp filter with a dry one.

CTL/ CTL AC CLEANTEX

8.5 Extracting fluids

Before extracting fluids, remove the filter or disposal bag (see chapter 7.6). We recom- mend using a special wet filter. The dust extractor stops automatically when the maximum level is reached. Escaping foam and fluids » Switch off the machine immediately and empty the dirt trap.

8.6 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 sys- tem as standard to discharge any static elec- tricity that may develop. However, always use the enclosed antistatic extraction hose.

8.7 After finishing work

> Only versions with AutoClean: Clean the main filter automatically or manually (see chapter 8.2). > Switch off the mobile dust extractor and disconnect the plug. »> Wind up the mains power cable. > Empty the dust container. »> Place the mobile dust extractor in a dry room inaccessible to unauthorised users. 9 Service and maintenance Risk of injury, electric shock » Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before performing maintenance work on the machine! » All maintenance and repair work which re- quires the motor housing to be opened must only be carried out by an authorised service workshop. Damaged safety devices and components must be repaired or replaced in a recognised specialist workshop, unless otherwise indi- cated in the operating manual.

Observe the following instructions: - À dust test must be performed at least once a year by the manufacturer or an in- structed person. This test may include checks to determine whether the filter is damaged, the machine is sealed properly and the monitoring features are function- ing correctly. - During maintenance and repair work, all components that cannot be cleaned satis- factorily must be replaced. The old compo- nents must be sealed in impermeable plastic bags prior to disposal in compliance with applicable regulations for this type of waste.
