Dust that is generated is divided into three classes. These indicate the extractor's suitability for any given dust and the specified maximum allowable concentrations. Festool offers wet and dry extractors for these dust classes.​​

The use of dust class M or H extractors is stipulated for industrial applications.​​

You can find further information about dust classes here.​

Cordless extractors are perfectly tailored to the cordless Festool tools. As a result, cordless applications now offer 100% mobility and, above all, no dust.

Corded extractors are ideal for stationary and semi-stationary applications where small or large quantities of dust are generated. Both corded tools via the electrical outlet module and cordless tool via Bluetooth^® are easy to connect to the mobile dust extractor and start it automatically.
