1 Symbols 2 Technical  data 3 Intended  use

The ASA boom arm is a stationary appliance that

provides power supply connections for electric

power and pneumatic tools as well as connections

for dust extractors when combined with the EAA

energy box.

The box provides the user with all the connections

necessary for operating electric power and pneu-

matic tools in a working area with limited space.

The size and quantity of particles that can be ex-

tracted through the energy box EAA/boom arm ASA

depends on the power of the connected dust ex-

tractor. However, the EAA/ASA is only suitable for

extracting dust and not heavy chips, workpiece off-

cuts, etc.

Festool accepts no liability for damage and acci-

dents resulting from improper or incorrect use of

the EAA or ASA, or subsequent modifications made

by the user.
