Vacuum Pump - Festool VAC SYS SE Notice D'utilisation D'origine

not seize, and whether any components are
broken or damaged so badly that the device
will not function correctly as a result. Have any
damaged components repaired before using
the device. Most accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment/machines.
- Never use equipment with a faulty switch. Ma-
chines that cannot be switched on or off are
dangerous and should be repaired.
- Have your machine repaired by qualifi ed special-
ist staff and always use original spare parts to
ensure that your machine operates reliably.
- Always use original Festool accessories.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- Do not clamp objects whose weight exceeds the
holding forces specifi ed under "Technical data".
- Clamp workpieces so that the centre of gravity
is positioned over the suction plate.
- Observe the maximum workpiece dimensions
for each suction cup.
- Only clamp objects with fl at, smooth and airtight
surfaces. Clamping objects without airtight sur-
faces decreases the holding force of the device.
- Make sure that the surface of the object you wish
to clamp is clean, dry and free of grease other-
wise the holding force may not be suffi cient.
- Secure the clamping unit to a stable, fl at surface.
- Do not operate the machine unless the indicator
on the vacuum gauge is within the green sec-
tor. Check the vacuum prior to each machining
process.
- The vacuum pump should only be operated
when installed in the SYSTAINER. Do not re-
move any inserts from the SYSTAINER. Never
operate the vacuum pump separately from the
SYSTAINER.
- Do not expose parts of the body to vacuum
forces.
- Observe the maximum air humidity:

Vacuum pump

Setup
Select an installation location for the vacuum
pump that corresponds with the following condi-
tions:
• Protected from bumps, falling objects or similar.
• Protected from moisture.
• Min. 50 cm above fl oor height to prevent chips
and dust from being drawn in through the ven-
tilation slits [1-4].
• Min. 5 cm from the wall to keep the ventilation
slits [1-4] free.
• Max. distance of 3 metres from the clamping
unit (due to the length of the vacuum hose).
Connecting the vacuum hose
• Before attaching the vacuum connector, remove
the protective cap [3-3] from the plug nipple and
turn to the side.
• Attach the coupling [3-1] on the vacuum hose to
the connector [3-2].
• Check that the coupling is secure.
• Only disconnect the vacuum hose when the
workpiece is clamped in position: Switch off the
pump fi rst. Then actuate the coupling and pull
off the vacuum hose.
• When a vacuum hose is not connected, push the
protective cap [3-3] onto the connector [3-2] to
protect against damage.
Electrical connection
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated us-
ing unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
- The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the speci-
fi cations on the machine's name plate.
- In North America, only Festool machines with
a voltage specifi cation of 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
• Attach the mains cable to the connector [1-1]
[Fig. 4].
• Connect the plug on the mains cable to a power
socket.
6.2 Vacuum clamping unit
Setting up and securing
- Secure the clamping unit to a stable, fl at, clean,
smooth surface of suffi cient size (recommended
set-up height: 60 - 90 cm).
