Festool Longlife-FIS-CTL MIDI Reusable Filter Bag
At a Glance: Robust reusable filter bag made from tear-resistant three-layer polyester fleece for collecting dry, non-hazardous class L dust and coarse debris with CTL MIDI extractors manufactured up to 2018.
Reduce disposable filter-bag consumption when collecting suitable coarse dust, chips and debris with the Festool Longlife-FIS-CTL MIDI Reusable Filter Bag. Designed specifically for Festool CTL MIDI mobile dust extractors manufactured up to 2018, this durable filter bag is made from high-strength three-layer polyester fleece for a long working life. Once filled with approved dry, non-hazardous material, the bag can be removed, opened using its sealing slide, emptied and returned to the extractor for continued use. Its tear-resistant construction makes it a practical choice for workshops and construction sites where larger particles and class L dust are collected regularly. The Longlife filter bag is not recommended for fine dust and must not be used for hazardous or wet materials.
Unlike a disposable filter bag, the Longlife-FIS-CTL MIDI is designed for repeated use. Open the sealing slide, empty the collected dry material safely, close the slide and reinstall the bag in the compatible extractor.

- Empty the bag before it becomes tightly packed to maintain effective airflow through the extractor.

- Inspect the fleece, connection point and sealing slide whenever the bag is emptied.
- Replace the bag immediately if the material is torn, excessively clogged or no longer seals correctly.
- Clean the extractor container before reinstalling the bag so sharp debris cannot damage the fleece.
- Mark the bag for coarse-material use to prevent it from being used accidentally for unsuitable fine or hazardous dust.
