CT Series Dust Extractors
Turning the Vacuum On
The vacuum has two modes of operation: manual and
automatic. In manual mode it turns on and off like a typical
vacuum. In automatic mode, the vacuum will sense when
the connected power tool is turned on, and start and stop
automatically. The vacuum will continue to run for a couple
seconds after the tool is turned off in order to clear remain-
ing dust from the hose.
►
In off or auto modes, the tool receptacle is disabled and
has no power.
►
In automatic mode, the tool receptacle has power and the
vacuum is turned on and off when the tool is turned on
and off.
►
The variable suction power can be adjusted with the
vacuum running or off.
NOTE: Tools with very low power consumption may
not draw enough power from the tool receptacle
to be detected by the vacuum. For variable speed
tools, it may be necessary to turn the speed up to
trigger the vacuum, and then back down for normal
operation.

Optional Accessories
Power Cord Bracket (Reel)
CT-26 through CT-48 models come with an optional cord
reel for storing the power cord on the back of the vacuum.
This gives the added feature of being able to store the
power cord either in the hose garage or on the cord reel.
Note however, that the cord reel isn’t compatible with the
optional boom arm. So if you are going to install the boom
arm, you should skip this procedure.
Using the provided screws, secure the cord bracket to the
motor housing of the vacuum, as shown.
