Shop Vacs: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:43, 16 June 2018

A shop vac is needed for every operation of dust-generating power tools (see list below). It is also useful for cleaning your workspace or the floor after you are done for the day.

Accessories

Floor attachments should help clean the rooms more effectively. We have a few that came with the small "Shop Vac" brand machine; Mitja also 3D printed an orange adapter to connect those with the Festool hose.

Emptying Bags

On a windless day you can empty the shop vac's dry bag into a regular trash bag outside. If you notice any damage to the bag, or dirt inside the machine, report it immediately and do not use the machine until a new bag is purchased.

ToolInfoBox Festool CTM26 E AC

Synonyms:	hoover; DE: Kesselsauger
Material:	dry dirt in its usual setup, wet dirt only with special bag
Location:	wood workshop

The large Festool shop vac can also be used as an extension cord of sorts and supports continuous (manual) or automatic (depending on the connected tool) action.

Use this shop vac whenever dealing with dangerous dust - it is class "M" rated.
