Older Festool CT-22 Hepa Filter Change

[Vince Shriver]

How are the two hepa filters on the CT-22 removed. I've opened the vac to inspect the 2 fliters, but what do I do in order to remove them for replacement? The manual says remove them - how is that accomplished? Thanks in advance for any help.

Depress the tab on the plastic housing that the filter mounts in and swing the housing with the filter away from the lid. Remove filter and replace with new and install housing with new filter back in position in the lid. Latch the housing in position with the tab.

Randall, many thanks. It looked intuitive, but I simply didn't press it hard enough. I was a bit nervous about horsing it and breaking something (gawd forbid breaking a Festool vac and my budget with it). This is the first time I changed them; now I know. Again, thank you.
