Festool CTL 44 E Notice D'utilisation D'origine page 13

- Do not pull plug out of mains socket by its ca-
ble.
- Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges.
- Check the plugs and cables regularly and have
them replaced by an expert if damaged.
- Do not leave devices out in the rain.
- Do not lift or carry the devices by their handles
using a crane hook or lifting gear.
- The device may only be used by persons who
have been trained in its use and who are au-
thorised to do so.
- If noxious dusts have been extracted, the vacuum
cleaner and all accessories must be completely
cleaned (inside and outside) by suction and wip-
ing, 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.
- For safety reasons, only operate the machine
using a totally earthed socket.
3 Appliance preparation and initial opera-
tion
The accessories are delivered horizontal in the
container (2.10), and must be removed prior to
initial operation.
3.1 Power supply
The line voltage and frequency must
correspond with the data on the ratings
plate!
Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is switched off
when you plug the power cable in.
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.
3.2 On/off switch (1.3)
In position 0 the vacuum cleaner is switched off
and the appliance plug socket (1.2) is dead.
Two modes of operation are possible:
a) Switch position „MAN"
The appliance plug socket is dead.
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 cleaner motor starts only when the tool con-
nected to the appliance plug socket is switched
on.
3.3 Suction force regulator (1.4)
The suction force regulator can be used to vary the
suction capacity. This permits a precise adaptation
to different substances to be picked up.
3.4 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.
3.5 Connecting an electric tool
Observe the maximum connected load on
the appliance plug socket (see "Technical
Data")!
Make sure that the electric tool is switched
off when plugging it in and unplugging
it.
Connect the electric tool to the appliance plug
socket (1.2).
3.6 Connecting pneumatic tools
Make sure that the pneumatic tool is
switched off when plugging it in and un-
plugging it.
When the compressed-air module (1.8) (452829;
supplied ready with CTL 44 LE) is fi tted, the au-
tomatic cut-in of the appliance also operates in
conjunction with compressed-air tools. We also
recommend fi tting of the VE supply unit (452797).
The supply unit fi lters and oils the compressed
air and allows the air pressure to be regulated.
An IAS connecting piece (454757) is available for
connecting Festool compressed-air tools with the
IAS system. To ensure trouble-free functioning of
the automatic cut-in, the operating pressure of
the tool must be 6 bar.
4 Operation
4.1 Opening/closing the vacuum cleaner
- Open retaining clamps (2.2),
- Raise upper part (2.4) until support catch (2.5)
engages.
Follow the reverse order to close the appliance.
You must raise the upper part slightly before de-
pressing or disengaging the support.
