Temperature control
A temperature fuse switches the dust ex-
tractor off before this reaches a critical
temperature to protect against overheat-
ing - 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 (1.7).
3.6
Connecting pneumatic tools
Make sure that the pneumatic tool
is switched off when plugging it in
and unplugging it.
When the compressed-air module (1.8)
(452829; supplied ready with CTM 33 LE
SG and CTM 44 LE) is fi tted, the automatic
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 pres-
sure of the tool must be 6 bar.
