Festool Tool-End Extraction Inefficiency

Vacuum runs but attached power tool or accessory is not being adequately cleaned (poor extraction at tool)

Possible Causes

Incorrect hose diameter or adapter, Leaks at tool connection, Clogged tool dust port, Suction set too low on vacuum

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before changing accessories or adapters.

  • 1. Verify hose and adapter: Use the Festool hose diameter and adapter recommended for the specific tool. Undersized or oversized hoses reduce performance.
  • 2. Check tool port: Inspect the tool's dust extraction port for clogs or obstructions and clear them.
  • 3. Improve sealing: Ensure the adapter fits snugly on the tool. Use Festool-specific adapters or sealing rings where available.
  • 4. Increase suction setting: Adjust the vacuum's suction or speed control to a higher setting when using tools that generate large chips or dust volumes.
