- Open locking clips (1.4), remove top section
(1.5),
- Fold over handle (3.2) and remove holder (3.3),
- Remove used fi lter element (3.4) and replace
with a new one,
- Replace holder and fold over handle until it
latches into place,
- Replace top section, close locking clips.
4.2
Emptying the dirt trap
The dirt trap (2.2) can be emptied once the top
part has been removed.
4.3
Stand/Brake
Folding out the stand (4.5) prevents the mobile
dust extractor from rolling away. To achieve this,
lift the front end of the mobile dust extractor
slightly and push the stand downwards until it
latches into place. Press the button to release
the stand (4.4).

Application
The extractor hose (4.2) is connected to the ex-
tractor opening by the angle bracket (4.1). During
machine operation, the extractor hose is inserted
through the opening (4.3). A Systainer can be at-
tached to the storage area (5.6) via the four locking
clips (5.5).
5.1
Vacuuming dry materials
Before using the vacuum cleaner to
evacuate dry substances, a fi lter bag must
always be inserted in the container. Then
the evacuated material can be disposed
off easily.
The fi lter element becomes damp after evacuating
liquids. A damp fi lter element suffers more wear
and tear if it is used for dry materials. Accordingly,
the fi lter element should be dried or replaced with
a dry one before dry operation.
5.2
Vacuuming liquids
The fi lter bag has to be removed before
evacuating liquids. We recommend use
of a special wet fi lter.
When the maximum fi lling level is reached, a
level indicator (3.1) automatically interrupts ex-
traction.
The wet fi lter does not meet the require-
ments of dust class „L" and should only
be used to absorb liquids.
Do not evacuate combustible liquids! If
foam or liquid escapes, stop work im-
mediately and empty the dirt container.
5.3
The antistatic system (AS)
Friction in the suction hose causes electrostatic
charges which can result in unpleasant electric
shocks for the operator.
In order to conduct these static charges to earth,
the extraction units are provided with an antistatic
system as a standard feature. However, antistatic
hoses and accessories have to be used in this
case.
The antistatic function will only work if
the plug is plugged into a totally earthed
socket.

After fi nishing work
- Switch off the cleaner and pull the plug of the
mains lead out of the plug socket.
- Empty dirt tank.
- Insert the suction hose (5.1) and connecting pipe
(5.2) in the top section. The mains cable then has
to be inserted through the opening (5.3).
- Clean the vacuum cleaner inside and outside by
suction and wiping.
- Deposit the appliance in a dry room, safe from
unauthorised use.

Temperature control
A temperature fuse switches the dust extractor off
before this reaches a critical temperature to pro-
tect against overheating - switch dust extractor
off and leave for around 5 minutes to cool down.
If the dust extractor still cannot be switched back
on, please consult a Festool-service centre.

Maintenance and care
Always remove the mains plug from the
socket before carrying out any mainte-
nance work!
Any maintenance and repair work re-
quiring an opening of the motor housing
may only be carried out by an authorised
customer service workshop.
WARNING: After extracting fl uids, clean
the fi ll level sensors regularly with a soft
cloth and inspect for damage.
A safety test is to be carried out at least once a
year by the manufacturer or an instructed person,
