Compressed Air; Switch On/Off; Connecting Pneumatic Tools - Festool EAA Serie Manual De Instrucciones

EAA
GB
CAUTION
Risk of accident, electric shock
If tools are operated from all three sockets si-

multaneously, the maximum power available at
each socket is 1200W.
If the mains cable on the EAA is plugged into the

appliance socket on a dust extractor (see chap-
ter 9.1), always observe the maximum capacity
of the appliance socket on the dust extractor.
The total power supplied via the output cables on
the three EAA sockets must not exceed the max-
imum capacity of the appliance socket on the
dust extractor.
10.2

Compressed air

The EW versions have a non-adjustable connection
for unlubricated compressed air [1-11].
CAUTION
Risk of accident, electric shock
The compressed air from this connection cannot

be adjusted, the pressure from the in-house
compressed-air system is supplied to this con-
nection. Festool compressed air sanders should
not be attached via this connection.
EW/DW versions have a maintenance unit (see
Fig.[2]), consisting of a pressure regulator[2-1],
manual condensate trap [2-8] and lubricator [2-6],
two adjustable connections for lubricated com-
pressed air [1-6] and a non-adjustable connection
for unlubricated compressed air [2-7]. The flow
pressure preset at the pressure regulator is sup-
plied to all three connections. The two connections
for lubricated compressed air are for attaching
pneumatic tools.
The following is required for correct operation:
– Compressed air: 6 bar flow pressure
– Min. suction capacity: 400 l/min for each con-
nected Festool compressed air sander.
WARNING
Risk of injury
The air pressure at the energy box should not ex-

ceed 8 bar.
The maximum permitted flow pressure for Fes-

tool compressed air sanders is 6.5 bar.
22
Set the pressure regulator [2-1] to a flow pressure
of 6 bar before operating a pneumatic tool.
Note: The pneumatic slide control on the EW/DW
Turbo/A version will not function properly if the
pressure is too low (under 4 bar).
11 Operation
WARNING
Risk of accidents
When the system is assembled in full, a protec-

tive conductor test must be conducted by a qual-
ified electrician in accordance with EN 60204-1
before the system is operated. The test current
must be 10 A at 50 Hz. The test must be per-
formed between the PE terminal and all main
points on the protective conductor system.
11.1

Switch on/off

The selector switch on the mobile dust extractor or
stationary TURBO extraction system must be set to
the "AUTO" position so that dust extraction system
is activated only when an electric or pneumatic tool
is operating.
If the dust extraction system does not have an "AU-
TO" position, the system must be switched on man-
ually before work begins. In this case, the EAA au-
tomatic function described below is not available.
The switch [1-4] serves as an On/Off switch. It has
three positions:
– Position "0": the EAA is switched off, all sockets
are without power.
– Position "AUTO": All sockets are live. Dust ex-
traction starts when an electric or pneumatic
tool [1-5], [1-9] connected to one of the sockets
is switched on.
– Position "MAN": All sockets are live. Dust ex-
traction starts immediately. An additional feature
of the EW/DW Turbo/A version: the right slide
stays open while the other slide remains closed.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from tools starting up unexpectedly
Before setting the switch to the "AUTO" or

"MAN" position, make sure that the connected
tool is switched off.
11.2

Connecting pneumatic tools

The EW/DW version of the EAA is designed for con-
necting up to two compressed air sanders to the
Festool IAS system.
