with EPA RRP. The HEPA Filter is tested and
certified in accordance with IEST RP-CC-001, to
filter and exhaust air particles to 0.3 microns
with at least 99.97 % efficiency with no bypass
leakage.

7 Operation
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
► The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the
specifications on the machine's name
plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
may be used.
Consider the pictures on the fold-out page.
7.1 Initial operation
► Open the locking clips [2-2] and remove the
top section of the machine
[2-1].
► Remove the accessories from the dust con
tainer [2-3] and the packaging!
► Insert a filter bag in the dust container (see
chapter " 10.1").
► Attach the cable holder to the rear of the
mobile dust extractor (see Fig. [3]).
► Replace the top section [2-1] and close the
locking clips
[2-2].
► Connect the suction hose to the machine.
7.2 Switch on/off
► Insert the plug into an earthed socket.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from tools starting up unex
pectedly
► Before setting the switch to the "AUTO" or
"MAN" position, make sure that the con
nected tool is switched off.
The switch [1-8] serves as an On/Off switch. It
has three positions:
Switch position "0"
Appliance socket [1-3] is disconnected from the
power, mobile dust extractor is switched off.
"MAN" switch position
Appliance socket [1-3] is disconnected from the
power, the mobile dust extractor starts.
"Auto" switch position
Appliance socket [1-3] is connected to the pow
er, the mobile dust extractor starts when the
connected tool is switched on.
7.3 Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.
Total Extension

25 50 100 150
Cable size (AWG) 14 12 not recommended
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. In
stead, use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the stronger
the cord.
7.4 The antistatic system
Friction inside the extraction hose causes static
electricity to develop during extraction. Operat
ing personnel may receive unpleasant electric
shocks while working. The mobile dust extrac
tor is fitted with an antistatic system as stand
ard to discharge any static electricity that may
