I see in the brochure that this vacuum draws anywhere from 3 to 10 amps. 10 amps at max suction, I assume? If so, do I just add the amp draw from any of the tools I have plugged into it to calculate the draw? Just concerned how close to the line I am when using various tools, especially TS75 with the vacuum.
CT 26 Amps?

The TS75 and other tools work fine in the CT outlets. Keep in mind the amp draw on the tools is at max load. Unless cutting heavy stuff with dull cutters / blades this does not occur much at all. And the delay / soft start on the tool / CT combo prevents the initial surge overload. The main area that may cause a problem is if you draw too much from the circuit you are plugged into. If it is 15amps then you will probably be popping breakers if 20 amps you should be good to go.

To add to what Seth wrote, if you are in a on where you only have one circuit available and you are tripping the breaker, turn down the suction on the CT. It might get you the leeway to get the job done although a bit more cleanup might be required.

use a meter at the breaker
