Martin-IT Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I have a Fein Turbo II Dust Extractor, which is over 15 years old. I used it only as a dust extractor with my random orbital sander. It has an automatic turn on/off function (automatic), that when the sander is turned on, the vacuum will start and stop 15 seconds after you turn it off. This function is common, but at that time, it was one of the few offering it. For probably a year now, sometimes the automatic start will work, sometimes not, and it will just turn itself off after a few minutes. But, the sander will start and keep on working. The sander does start (it is plugged into the vacuum). If I set it to manual, there is not issue, it seems to be the 'sensing' of having the sander on or off which is not working. Any suggestion ?

wtnhighlander Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 There is probably a current sensor in the outlet feeding power to the sander. If the sensor fails to detect current that indicates the sander is running, the vac will shut off. I would contact Fein to see if a sensor replacement is available.
