8.3 Special features of the CTM 36 E AC- LHS

To use the mobile dust extractor in combination with the PLANEX

Use a special suction sleeve for connecting the PLANEX

Use closing slide CT-VS between the intake opening [1-2] and suction hose.

Always use with a disposal bag!

8.4 Extracting dry materials

Observe the following when extracting dust gener- ated 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 vol- ume flow (room volume V

x air renewal rate L

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 wet materials/liquids

Remove the filter or disposal bag! Recommendation: use special wet filter (NF-CT). The dust extractor stops automatically when the maximum level is reached. After wet extraction, allow the main filter to dry!

8.6 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 pull out the mains plug.

Close off the extractor opening [1-2] using the sealing plug [1-1]

The machine shall be stored indoors only. CAUTION Hazardous dust Damage to the respiratory passage

Use a filter or disposal bag when extracting haz- ardous materials!

Do not use the machine if the volumetric flow monitoring function is inactive. CAUTION Escaping foam and fluids

Switch off and empty the machine immediately. WARNING Hazardous dust Damage to the respiratory passage

Wipe down the mobile dust extractor and clean all accessories thoroughly using the extractor (inside and out) before removing from the work- ing area.
