Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this hood, ensure the power cord of your Festool CT 17 E is disconnected from the outlet. Carefully remove the existing damaged or worn hood by releasing the locking tabs. Align the new 500118 hood with the intake housing, applying firm, even pressure until you hear it click securely into place.
Compatibility: This part is exclusively designed for the Festool CT 17 E model series. Do not attempt to force this component onto other Festool dust extractors as it may damage the plastic housing or the hood itself.
Care Instructions: To maintain the hood, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the integrity of the material over time. Inspect the hood during every filter change to ensure no cracks or gaps have developed.
