Before turning the switch to the “MAN”
position, ensure that the tool
connected to the appliance plug socket
is switched off.
The cleaner motor starts immediately.
b) Switch position “Auto”
The appliance plug socket is live.
Before turning the switch to the “Auto”
position, ensure that the tool
connected to the appliance plug socket
is switched off.
The switch position and the suction hose
diameter must correspond.
The cleaner motor starts only when the tool
connected to the appliance plug socket is
switched on.
2.4 Suction force regulator (1.8)
The suction force regulator can be used to vary
the suction capacity. This permits a precise
adaptation to different substances to be picked
up.

Connecting an electric tool

Observe the maximum connected load
on the appliance plug socket (see
”Technical Data”)!
Connect the electric tool to the appliance plug
socket (1.7).
Make sure that the electric tool is switched off
when plugging it in and unplugging it.
2.6 Connecting pneumatic tools
Pneumatic tools used with the Festool IAS
system can also be operated with automatic
extraction. To achieve this, plug the coupling
connector from the exhaust-air line on the IAS
connecting piece into the coupling socket
(1.10).
The operating pressure must be above 6 bar
to ensure perfect operation, and a silencer
must be fitted to the IAS connecting piece.
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is
switched off when plugging it in and
unplugging it.

4 Application
Before commencing work, check the flow rate
monitor: Hold the suction hose closed while
the motor is running - after approx. 10 sec-
onds, an acoustic warning signal should sound.
Tools and accessories can be set down on the
storage area (1.9) ready to hand.
A hose holder can be inserted in the holes
(1.11) on the left and right of the handle and
at the back of the storage area. With the hose
holder, the suction hose can be linked up to
the tool from above. Two filter bags can be
stored in the cassette (1.5).
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 immedi-
ately and empty the dirt container.
