My CT 48 keeps shutting off. It started a couple years ago. At first I thought it was just over heating but it definitely is not the case. It's gotten to a point were I won't Leave the side of the vacuum because I have to reset it constantly. It only happens when I am either vacuuming debris off the floor or using it to vacuum myself off before heading into my house. It's never shut off while on auto using my Kapex or any of my Sanders. And just to answer any questions that may come up. I will have to reset it almost all the time when vacuuming myself off. Meaning I am not using the vacuum for long periods of time. It will literally shut off 10 seconds after starting it when it's been just sitting there for hours. Also it had a brand new filter and I always use a self cleaning bag in that vacuum. I have 4 other Festool Vacuums and none of them have this issue.
 
I have a 15 that does it when one of my sanders is running at a particular rpm setting. If I lower that it doesn't conk out. Mysterious, because other tools don't cause the same thing. The sander is an old 125.
