Festool CLEANTEX CTM 26 E Original Operating Manual/Spare Parts List page 17

Remember: A moist main filter clogs more quickly
when extracting dry materials. Therefore, dry the
main filter before extracting dust or replace the
damp filter with a dry one.
8.5 Extracting wet materials/liquids
Remove the filter or disposal bag!
Recommendation: use special wet filter
(NF-CT).
The dust extractor stops automatically when the
maximum level is reached.
After wet extraction, allow the main filter to dry!
CAUTION
Escaping foam and fluids

Switch off and empty the machine immediately.
8.6 The antistatic system
Friction inside the extraction hose causes static
electricity to develop during extraction. Operating
personnel may receive unpleasant electric shocks
while working. The mobile dust extractor is fitted
with an antistatic system as standard to discharge
any static electricity that may develop. However, al-
ways use the enclosed antistatic extraction hose.
8.7 After finishing work

Only versions with AutoClean: Clean the main
filter automatically or manually (see chapter
8.2).

Switch off the mobile dust extractor and pull out
the mains plug.
