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.
6.1
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!

fulfils statutory requirements (see chapter
7.8
).
► Replace the top section [2-1] and close the
locking clips [2-2].
► Attach the cable holder to the rear of the
mobile dust extractor (see Fig. [3]).
► Only CTM 48 E LE EC: Insert the sealing
plug [1-1] on the panel (see Fig. [1] ).
► Connect the suction hose to the machine.

Settings
7.1
Adjusting the hose diameter (only CTM
48 E LE EC)
► Adjust the hose diameter adjuster [1-8] to
match the diameter of the connected hose.
The monitoring devices will measure the
air speed in the extractor hose correctly as
a result (see chapter
7.2
Connecting electric power tools
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Observe the maximum appliance socket
connected load (see chapter "Technical da
ta")
► Switch off the electric power tool.
► Connect the electric power tool to the appli
ance socket [1-11].
7.3
Connecting pneumatic tools
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Switch off the air tool.
With the compressed air module [1-3], the au
tomatic switch-on function for the mobile dust
extractor also works in conjunction with air
tools.
We also recommend installing the VE service
unit (495886). The service unit filters and lubri
cates the compressed air and enables an ad
justment of the air pressure. An IAS adapter
(454757) is available to connect Festool air tools
to the IAS system.
The operating pressure of the tool must be 6
bar for the automatic switch-on unit to function
correctly.
7.4
Connecting the energy box
The connection for the energy box (EAA) [1-4]
allows you to connect the mobile dust extractor
with the EAA in order to couple the automatic
switch-on unit on the mobile dust extractor with
the equivalent unit on the EAA.
7.5
Adjusting the suction power
