4.1 Vacuuming dry materials
Before using the vacuum cleaner to
evacuate dry substances, a filter bag
must always be inserted in the
container. Then the evacuated material
can be disposed of easily.
A filter bag must be used without
exception when evacuating noxious
substances!
The filter element becomes damp after
evacuating liquids. A damp filter element suffers
more wear and tear if it is used for dry
materials. Accordingly, the filter element should
be dried or replaced with a dry one before dry
operation.
4.2 Vacuuming liquids
The filter bag has to be removed before
evacuating liquids.
We recommend use of a special wet filter.
Do not evacuate combustible liquids!
If foam or liquid escapes, stop work
immediately and empty the dirt container.
4.3 Volume flow monitoring
If the air speed in the suction hose drops below
20 m/s, an acoustic warning signal sounds for
safety reasons.
Possible causes and adjustments:
• Cause
- Adjustment
• Suction force regulator (1.10) set to a too
low value
- Adjust suction force regulator to a higher
value
• Rotary knob (1.3) not adjusted to the
connected hose diameter
- Adjust to correct hose diameter
• Suction hose blocked or twisted
- Remove blockage or twist
• Filter bag full
- Change filter bag
• Filter element dirty
- Change filter element
- Only when operating without a filter bag:
clean filter element
• Electronic monitoring system malfunctioning
- Call Festool customer service for
adjustment
5 After finishing work
- Switch off the cleaner and pull the plug of the
mains lead out of the plug socket.
- Empty dirt tank.
- If noxious dusts have been extracted, the
vacuum cleaner and all accessories must be
completely cleaned (inside and outside) by
suction and wiping, before removal from the
contaminated area. Parts that cannot be
completely cleaned are to be packed for
transport in a plastic bag with an airtight seal.
The suction opening (1.7) must be sealed
with the blanking plug (1.6) for transport
purposes.
- Deposit the appliance in a dry room, safe from
unauthorised use.
6 Temperature control
Always remove the mains plug from
the socket before carrying out any
maintenance work!
Any maintenance and repair work
requiring an opening of the motor
housing may only be carried out by an
authorised customer service
workshop.
A safety test is to be carried out at least once
a year by the manufacturer or an instructed
person, e.g. for possible damage to the filter
and leaks in the appliance, and to ensure that
the control devices are functioning.
