1 Safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.

• This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• This machine must not be used by people who might have a particularly adverse reaction to an electric shock (e.g. people with cardiac pacemakers), because the possibility of the machine building up a static charge cannot be excluded.
• Ensure you are on a firm base. The effects of a shock moment, e.g. due to antistatic discharge, may lead to accidents.
• This machine must only be operated under constant supervision. To prevent potential hazards, never let it run unsupervised.
• WARNING Operators shall be adequately instructed on the use of these machines.

L ! ! i L

• WARNING The machine may contain hazardous dust. Only have the machine maintained and emptied, and only have the filter replaced by an authorised specialist using suitable protective equipment.

8.4 Temperature cut-out

A temperature cut-out switches the mobile dust extractor off when it reaches a critical temperature to prevent overheating. The bottom LED indicates a fault.

LED lights up red Excessive temperature

▶ Switch off the mobile dust extractor, let it cool down.
▶ Switch on the mobile dust extractor again after approx. five minutes.

9 Working

9.1 Handling

Hose holder: After finishing work, you can feed the suction hose through the opening [8-2] and place it in the hose holder.

SYS-Dock Systainer storage area: A Systainer can be fastened to the storage area with the four slides or the T-Loc lock [8-1].

9.2 AUTOCLEAN – cleaning the main filter (variants with AUTOCLEAN only)

Only in conjunction with a disposable bag (to comply with dust class "L"). Not

for use during wet extraction.

Switching automatic cleaning on and off

▶ In standby mode, press the AC button [1-9] to switch AUTOCLEAN on or off.

The AC function can be configured using the Festool App*.

Manual cleaning

▶ Press the AC button [1-9] while extracting.

Full manual cleaning

▶ While extracting, cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with your hand or CT-VS closing slide for three seconds.
▶ Press and hold the AC button [1-9] for at least three seconds.

Do not clean the main filter too often within a short period of time.

Within 1 minute maximum:

1x full manual dedusting

3x manual dedusting

* Not available in all countries.

9.3 Special features of the CTL 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 [1-1] and suction hose.
▶ Attach the tool holder.
▶ Always use with a disposal bag!

Bypass function

In tasks that require a low extraction setting (e.g. on soft surfaces).

▶ Activate bypass function on special extraction sleeve [1A].

9.4 Extracting dry materials

CAUTION

Hazardous dust

Damage to the respiratory passage

▶ Always use a filter or disposal bag.

When extracting dust that exceeds the limit value, only extract from one dust e (power or compressed-air tool).

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 x air renewal rate L_W ). In addition, observe the national regulations.

Observe the following: 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.

9.5 Extracting wet materials/liquids

Remove the filter/disposal bag. Use a special wet filter (NF-CT).

The dust extraction stops automatically when the maximum fill level is reached.

The bottom LED [1-10] flashes red.

It must be ensured that the machine (main filter, suction hose, container, etc.) is sufficiently dried after extracting wet materials.

CAUTION

Hazardous dust

Damage to the respiratory passage

▶ After extracting wet materials, remove the wet filter and replace it with the main filter for dry materials.

CAUTION

Escaping foam and liquids

▶ Switch off and empty the machine immediately.

9.6 After finishing work

• Variants with AUTOCLEAN only: Clean the main filter automatically or manually (see section 9.2)
  ▶ Switch off the mobile dust extractor and pull out the mains plug.

English

▶ Wind up the mains power cable.
▶ Empty the dirt trap.
- Place the mobile dust extractor in a dry room inaccessible to unauthorised users.

Only store this machine indoors.

10 Service and maintenance

WARNING

Risk of injury, electric shock

▶ Always pull the mains plug from the socket before performing any servicing and maintenance work.
▶ All maintenance and repair work which requires the housing to be opened should always be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
