Festool SRM 45 E-LHS 225 PLANEX: CAUTION

15

7 Adjustments

7.1  

Connecting electric power tools

CAUTION

Risk of injury

-  Make sure that the electric power tool is 

switched off.

-  Observe the maximum appliance socket con-

nected load (see "Technical data")

•  Connect the electric power tool to the appliance 

socket [1-5]. 

7.2  

Connecting suction hoses

•  Insert the suction hose into the intake opening 

[1-2].

• Set the hose diameter adjuster [1-6] to match 

the diameter of the connected hose.

This ensures that the suction capacity is meas-

ured correctly.

7.3  

Adjusting the suction power 

You can use the suction power adjuster [1-4] to 

adapt the machine suction power to different ap-

plications.

7.4  

Applying the brake

The brake prevents the mobile dust extractor from 

rolling.

•  Applying the brake  

[1-12]

•  Releasing the brake 

[1-13]

8  

Working with the machine

The extraction hose is connected to the extraction 

sleeve on the outlet spigot of the electric power 

tool. The special hose supplied with the suction 

sleeve is designed for use with the 

PLANEX

 and 

most other Festool machines. 

Check the fi lter element for damage before start-

ing work.

Check the volume monitor before starting work:

• Cover the end of the hose while the motor is 

running.

An acoustic warning signal sounds after 1 sec-

ond. 

You may now start extracting.

8.1  

Extracting dry materials

CAUTION

Hazardous dust!

-  Use a fi lter or disposal bag when extracting 

hazardous materials!

The fi lter element will become damp when fl uids 

are extracted. A damp filter element will clog 

more quickly when dry materials are extracted. 

Therefore, dry the fi lter element before extracting 

dry materials or replace the damp fi lter with a dry 

one.

8.2  

Extracting fl uids

•   Remove the fi lter bag before extracting any fl u-

ids. 

The dust extractor stops automatically when the 

maximum level is reached.

If foam or fl uid starts to escape, switch off the 

machine immediately and empty the dust con-

tainer.

8.3  

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 fi tted 

with an antistatic system as standard to discharge 

any static electricity that may develop. However, 

always use the enclosed AS extraction hose.

8.4  

After fi nishing work

•  Switch off the mobile dust extractor and discon-

nect the plug.

•  Empty the dust container.

•  Wind up the mains power cable on the cable hook 

[1-7].

CAUTION

Hazardous dust!

-  Wipe down the mobile dust extractor and clean 

all accessories thoroughly using the extrac-

tor (inside and out) before removing from the 

working area. 

-  Parts that you were not able to clean thoroughly 

must be sealed in an airtight plastic bag prior 

to transportation.

-  Wear a dust mask!

• Place the mobile dust extractor in a dry room 

inaccessible to unauthorised users.

Service and maintenance

9.1  

Acoustic warning signal

An acoustic warning signal sounds if the air speed 

in the suction hose falls below 20 m/s.

Possible causes and remedies

-  Suction power adjuster setting too low: 

  Set the suction power adjuster to a higher set-

ting.

-  Hose diameter setting does not match the diam-

16

eter of the connected suction hose: 

  Set the correct hose diameter.

-   Suction hose clogged or kinked: 

  Eliminate blockage or kink.

-  Disposal/Filter bag full: 

  Change the disposal/fi lter bag.

-  Filter element clogged: 

  Clean the fi lter element or replace if damaged 

or heavily clogged.

9.2  

Automatic fi lter cleaning

To maintain a constant suction power, the fi lter 

element is cleaned automatically every 30 seconds 

during operation. 

We recommend cleaning the fi lter element com-

pletely if severely clogged:

After extracting with a disposal bag:

•  Set the suction power control to the maximum 

setting.

•  Cover the end of the nozzle or suction hose with 

your hand for 10 seconds.

NOTE

In intensive applications that generate adherent 

dust, it may be necessary to clean the fi lter ele-

ment mechanically under certain circumstances 

(extract). Wear a dust mask!

9.3  

Changing fi lters

CAUTION

Hazardous dust!

-  Do not generate clouds of dust unnecessarily.

-  Always wear a P2 dust mask when working 

with hazardous dust.

Changing the disposal bag

• Clean the fi lter element before changing the 

disposal bag (Chap. 9.2).

•  Remove the top section [Fig. 2].

•  Pull the fi lter bag socket [5-2] carefully from the 

intake opening [5-1].

•  Close off the fi lter bag socket with the slide piece 

[5-3].

•  Close the disposal bag using the cord provided.

• Insert a new disposal bag [Fig. 3] in the clean 

container.

•  Dispose of the used bag in accordance with statu-

tory regulations.

Changing the fi lter bag

•  Remove the top section [Fig. 2].

•  Pull the fi lter bag socket [5-2] carefully from the 

extractor opening [5-1].

•  Close off the fi lter bag socket with the slide piece 

[5-3].

•  Insert a new fi lter bag [Fig. 4].

•  Dispose of the used bag in accordance with statu-

tory regulations.

Changing the fi lter element

Never operate the machine without a fi lter ele-

ment as this may damage the motor.

•  Remove the top section [Fig. 2].

•  Pull the fi lter element upwards to remove [Fig. 

6].

• Open the stirrup handle [6-3] and remove the 

stirrup section.

•  Remove the fi lter retaining disc [6-1].

•  Remove the fi lter element.

Clean the fi lter seal and fi ll level tube [6-2].

•  Insert a new fi lter element.

•  Place the fi lter retaining disc in position.

•  Replace the stirrup and secure the stirrup handle.

•  Dispose of the used fi lter element in accordance 

with statutory regulations.

9.4 

Emptying the dust container

•  Remove the top section [Fig. 2].

•  Empty the extracted material.

•  Clean the edge of the container and replace the 

top section of the extractor.

•  Clean the intake opening and the hose sleeve.

•  Dispose of the extracted material in accordance 

with statutory regulations.

10 Accessories

Use only original Festool accessories and Festool 

consumable material intended for this machine 

because these components are designed specifi -

cally for the machine. Using accessories and con-

sumable material from other suppliers will most 

likely affect the quality of your working results and 

limit any warranty claims. Machine wear or your 

own personal workload may increase depending on 

the application. Protect yourself and your machine, 

and preserve your warranty claims by always using 

original Festool accessories and Festool consum-

able material!

11  

Disposal

Do not throw the power tool in your household 

waste! Dispose of the machine, accessories and 

packaging at an environmentally-responsible 

recycling centre! Observe the valid national regu-

lations.

EU only:

 European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulates 

that used electric power tools must be collected 

separately and disposed of at an environmentally 

responsible recycling centre.

17

12 Warranty

For our tools, we give warranty for material and 

production defects in accordance with the locally 

applicable legal provisions, but in any case for at 

least 12 months. Within the EU member states, 

the warranty period is 24 months (verification 

through invoice or delivery note). Damage caused 

by the operator, natural wear, overloading, incor-

rect handling or through the use of the equipment 

not specifi ed in the operating manual, or damage 

which was known at the time of purchase, is not 

covered by the warranty. Furthermore, damage 

caused by the use of non-original Festool accesso-

ries and consumable material (e.g. sanding pads) 

is also excluded. Complaints can only be recog-

nised if the tool is returned while still assembled 

to the supplier or an authorised Festool Customer 

Service workshop. Keep the operating manual, 

safety instructions, spare parts list and purchase 

receipt in a safe place. Otherwise the respective, 

current warranty conditions of the manufacturer 

shall apply.

Due to continuous research and development work, 

we reserve the right to make changes to the techni-

cal content of this documentation.
