Festool CT 22 dust extractor - how do I attach handle?

[Marcie Morgan]

I ordered a handle for my Festool dust extractor CT 22 but cannot figure out how to attach it to the dust extractor. There are either parts missing or I need something else to attach it. I have searched the parts catalog but it does not show how to attach this particular handle. Any help would be appreciated.

From what I remember, the only parts included are some screws & nuts.

You have to remove the cord wraps from the vac, install the handle & reinstall the cord wraps.

The nuts slide into slots & then the screws are threaded into them. From what I remember, to install the some of the nuts, it helps to turn the vac upside down.

Here are some pictures of my Wife's CT33. The handle on the CT22 will install the same way.

go over to the festoolownersgroup forum and ask there. They have details on everything. I put mine on a long time ago (ct33) and it's not a big deal, except there are two diff lenghts of screws. Don't get them mixed up or you will pierce the outer shell. (don't ask me how i know)
