Connecting Pneumatic Tools; Operation; Switch On/Off; Tool Holder - Festool EAA Manual De Instrucciones Original

WARNING
Risk of injury
The air pressure at the energy box should
not exceed 8 bar.
The maximum permitted flow pressure for
Festool compressed air sanders is 6.5 bar.
Set the pressure regulator [2-1] to a flow
pressure of 6 bar before operating a pneu-
matic 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).

Operation

WARNING
Risk of accidents
When the system is assembled in full, a
protective conductor test must be con-
ducted by a qualified electrician in accor-
dance with EN 60204-1 before the system
is operated. The test current must be 10 A
at 50 Hz. The test must be performed be-
tween the PE terminal and all main points
on the protective conductor system.
11.1

Switch on/off

The selector switch on the mobile dust ex-
tractor or stationary TURBO extraction sys-
tem must be set to the "AUTO" position so
that dust extraction system is activated only
when an electric or pneumatic tool is operat-
ing.
If the dust extraction system does not have
an "AUTO" position, the system must be
switched on manually before work begins. In
this case, the EAA automatic function de-
scribed 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 extraction starts when an electric or
pneumatic tool [1-5],
one of the sockets is switched on.
– Position "MAN": All sockets are live. Dust
extraction starts immediately. An addition-
[1-9] connected to
al 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 un-
expectedly
Before setting the switch to the "AUTO" or
"MAN" position, make sure that the con-
nected tool is switched off.
11.2

Connecting pneumatic tools

The EW/DW version of the EAA is designed
for connecting up to two compressed air
sanders to the Festool IAS system.
Insert the end of the compressed air line
into the quick-coupling socket [1-6].
Open the catch for the extractor opening
by pulling out the locking pin [1-7] and
rotating 90°.
Insert the connecting sleeve on the IAS
adapter into the extractor connector [1-
8].
Note: only new connecting sleeves have
a slot for engaging the locking pin.
Align the IAS adapter so that the connect-
ing hoses do not kink.
Only applies for wall mounting: conden-
sate from the condensate drain hose must
not contaminate the IAS hose.
Turn the locking pin [1-7] back 90° and
release to engage. The IAS adapter is now
locked.
Festool CT/SRM dust extractors only: con-
nect the coupling connector on the extrac-
tor with the quick-coupling socket [1-6].
11.3

Tool holder

The tool holder[1-1]is used to hang up elec-
tric and pneumatic tools.
CAUTION
Risk of accidents
The additional weight on the EAA (e.g.
weight of electric or pneumatic tools, ac-
cessories) may not exceed 12 kg.
