Festool CTM 36L M Class Ei Autoclean Dust Extractor

Festool CTM 36 M Class AutoClean Dust Extractor: Strong, Steady Suction When the Job Gets Dusty

Fine dust clogs a filter fast. Suction fades, dust escapes into the air, and you stop work to tap out the filter just to keep going. The Festool CTM 36 M Class AutoClean Dust Extractor keeps your suction strong. Its AUTOCLEAN system cleans the main filter for you, so you can keep sanding, sawing and routing with M Class protection from fine, hazardous dust.

It's lightweight yet powerful, and just as at home in the workshop as on site or in a renovation.

Key Features

• AUTOCLEAN automatic filter cleaning: Cleans the main filter automatically as you work, helping keep suction high even with fine dust that would normally load up a filter.
• M Class dust extraction: Certified for medium-risk dust, so you get safer, healthier working conditions when extracting hazardous dust.
• 36L capacity with flat filter design: The generous container gives you plenty of room for big jobs. The flat filter makes the most of that space without sacrificing suction power.
• FlowDetect airflow monitoring: Keeps an eye on airflow and warns you if it drops below the required level, so you know your extraction is still doing its job.
• Touch controls: The intuitive touch panel is easy to use, even when you're wearing gloves or working in dusty conditions.
• Automatic tool start/stop: The extractor switches on and off with your connected power or air tool, so you never have to reach for a second switch.
• Adjustable suction power: Fine-tune extraction to suit the material and the task, from delicate work to heavy dust loads.
• Bluetooth® connectivity: Works with optional Bluetooth® accessories, so you can start the extractor remotely.
• Smooth anti-static hose: Flexible and robust, it glides easily over edges and helps reduce static build-up while you work.
• Wet and dry extraction: Handles a wide range of extraction and clean-up jobs, from fine dust to liquid spills.
• Systainer integration: The integrated SYS dock lets you connect compatible Systainers securely and move them with the extractor.
• Easy transport: Large wheels, a locking brake and a low centre of gravity make it easy to manoeuvre around your workshop or site.

Please Note: Circuit Breaker

Festool dust extractors have a safety circuit breaker that trips when it detects a connected load over 1200 watts. Some higher-wattage tools may trigger it. If this happens, press the reset button above the socket to restore power.

• Using higher-wattage tools: Run the tool from a separate power outlet, and use a Bluetooth® system to switch the extractor on and off.
• Matching your consumables: Even lower-wattage tools can trip the breaker if the setup doesn't suit the material. Using the wrong saw blade for the material is one example. Always choose the correct consumable for the job for the best extraction performance.

A quick tip: set your suction power to match the task before you start. Lower suction helps when sanding thin veneers or light stock, while full power suits heavy dust from routing or concrete work. Plug lower-wattage tools straight into the extractor so automatic start/stop can do the work for you. If FlowDetect gives you a warning, check the hose for blockages and confirm your filter setup before carrying on.
