Boom Arm; Assembling The Outriggers - Festool CT Mini Instruction Manual

Boom Arm

The optional boom arm may be installed on
any CT-series vacuum except for the CT-Mini
and CT-Midi. The boom arm is an overhead
carrier for the vacuum hose and power cord
for your power tool to keep them above your
working area. The boom arm may be installed
facing toward the front of the vacuum or
toward the rear of the vacuum, depending on
your preferences and work area setup. (Refer
to "Changing Forward/Rearward
page 19.)
The boom arm is universal and fits all of the
applicable CT-series vacuums. However, a
prerequisite to installing the boom arm is that
the optional transport handle is installed on the
vacuum, and the handles will vary for different
vacuum models. (Refer to
on page 13 for the procedure to install the handle on your
specific vacuum model.)
The boom arm may be ordered separately or as a complete
kit specific to the vacuum model. Kits are specific to the
vacuum model, and include the transport handle and any
other components necessary to install the boom arm.
1. Unpack the boom arm components. Remove and discard
the protective web/netting from the tubes.
2. Install the Transport Handle

Assembling the Outriggers

The outriggers stabilize the vacuum to prevent it from
tipping from the weight of the boom arm. They should be
installed in the same direction (forward or rearward) that
your boom arm will face.
1. Assemble two cross braces to one of the outrigger tubes
using 2 carriage bolts and thumbscrews. Insert the car-
riage bolt through the cross brace so the square shank of
the bolt fits in the square hole in the cross brace. Leave
the thumbscrews slightly loose.
