8 Working

8.1 Handling

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 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 (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, cleaning can be started manually by turning the switch [1-8] to the AC symbol pointed 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.
① 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!

8.3 Special features of the CTL 36 E AC-LHS

To use the mobile dust extractor in combination with the PLANEX:

• Use the accompanying kink-resistant suction 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 accompanying installation instructions.
• When performing extraction work with the PLANEX, always use disposal bags to prevent dust from escaping into the surrounding area.

8.4 Extracting dry materials

CAUTION

Hazardous dust

Damage to the respiratory passage

• Use a filter or disposal bag when extracting hazardous materials!

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 exceed 50% of the fresh air volume flow (room volume V_R × air renewal rate L_W ). Observe all the relevant regional regulations.

Remember: A moist main filter clogs more quickly when extracting dry materials. Therefore, dry the main filter before extracting dust or replace the damp filter with a dry one.

8.5 Extracting fluids

Before extracting fluids, remove the filter or disposal bag (see chapter 7.6). We recommend using a special wet filter.

The dust extractor stops automatically when the maximum level is reached.

CAUTION

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 system as standard to discharge any static electricity 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.
