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 AUTO Clean - Cleaning the main filter

(only versions with AutoClean)

Only in conjunction with disposal bag (compliance with dust class 'M'). Not suitable for wet extraction!

Automatic cleaning

Adjust the frequency using the rotary knob [1-8].

Only CTM for 36 E AC-LHS: switch on using the rotary knob [1-8].

Manual cleaning

Turn the switch [1-11] to the AC symbol.

Full manual cleaning

▶ Cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with your hand or closing slide CT-VS (497926) for 2 seconds.
▶ Turn the switch [1-11] to the AC symbol.

8.3 Special features of the CTM 36 E AC-LHS

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

▶ Use kink-resistant suction hose D 36 mm x 3.5 m-AS.
▶ Use a special suction sleeve for connecting the PLANEX.
▶ Use closing slide CT-VS between the intake opening [1-2] and suction hose.
▶ Attach the tool holder.
▶ Always use with a disposal bag!

8.4 Extracting dry materials

CAUTION

Hazardous dust

Damage to the respiratory passage

▶ Use a filter or disposal bag when extracting hazardous materials!
▶ Do not use the machine if the volumetric flow monitoring function is inactive.

Observe the following when extracting dust generated by operating electric power tools:

In 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 x 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 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!

CAUTION

Escaping foam and fluids

▶ Switch off and empty the machine immediately.

8.6 After finishing work

▶ Only versions with AutoClean the main filter automatically or manually (see chapter 8.2).
▶ Switch off the mobile dust extractor and pull out the mains plug.
▶ Wind up the mains power cable.
▶ Empty the dirt trap.
▶ Close off the extractor opening [1-2] using the sealing plug [1-1].

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 working area.
