Bosch Professional GAS 35 M AFC Original Instructions Manual page 11

Fitting the holder for the vacuum hose (see
figure A)
– Slide the holder (4) for the vacuum hose firmly into the
corresponding adapters (32) from above until they click
into place.
Fitting the vacuum hose (see figure B)
– Attach the vacuum hose (24) to the hose adapter (3) and
turn it clockwise as far as possible.
Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose
and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic
charge that the user may experience as static discharge (de-
pending on environmental factors and their physiological
state).
Bosch generally recommends using an anti-static vacuum
hose (accessory) to vacuum up fine dust and dry materials.
Fitting the vacuuming accessories (see figure C)
The vacuum hose (24) is equipped with a clip system which
can be used to connect vacuuming accessories (dust extrac-
tion adapter (22), curved nozzle (23)).
Fitting the dust extraction adapter
– Push the dust extraction adapter (22) onto the vacuum
hose (24) until you hear both snap fasteners (33) on the
vacuum hose engage.
– To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (33) in-
wards and pull apart the components.
Fitting the nozzles and tubes
– Push the curved nozzle (23) onto the vacuum hose (24)
until you hear both snap fasteners (33) on the vacuum
hose engage.
– Then attach the required extraction accessory (floor
nozzle, crevice nozzle, suction tube, etc.) firmly to the
curved nozzle (23).
– To remove the accessory, press the snap fasteners (33)
inwards and pull apart the components.
Inserting/removing the disposal bag or dust bag
(dry extraction) (see figures D1–D2)
A disposal bag (25) or dust bag must be used for the dry ex-
traction of dust class M materials.
Insofar as materials with or without an exposure limit of
3
≥ 1 mg/m (dust class L materials) are extracted, these can
be sucked straight into the container.
Note: If using a paper filter bag, you must make sure that
automatic filter cleaning (AFC) is switched off; you should
also do the same if using a fleece filter bag (see "Automatic
filter cleaning (see figure H)", page 23).
The vacuum cleaner contains dust
WARNING
particles that pose a risk to health.
Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the
disposal of dust collectors, should only be carried out by
professionals. Suitable protective equipment is re-
quired. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the
Bosch Power Tools
complete filter system. Otherwise, you are putting your
health at risk.
Inserting the disposal bag
– Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (12).
– Insert the disposal bag (25) into the container (1) with
the inlet facing forwards.
– Pull the inlet over the connection flange and all the way
into the recess of the connection flange.
– Make sure that the disposal bag (25) touches all the in-
side walls of the container (1).
– Fold the rest of the disposal bag (25) over the edge of the
container (1).
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (12) on and close
the catches (13).
Removing and sealing the disposal bag
– Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (12).
– Pull the full disposal bag (25) backwards out of the con-
nection flange.
– Carefully take the disposal bag (25) out of the container
(1) without damaging it.
When doing so, make sure that the disposal bag does not
scrape against the connection flange or other sharp ob-
jects.
– Remove the adhesive strip cover and tape up the disposal
bag.
Then tie up the disposal bag (25) below the inlet using
the adhesive strip cover that has been removed.
Changing/inserting the dust bag (accessory)
– Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (12).
– Pull the full dust bag backwards out of the connection
flange. Close the opening in the dust bag by turning down
the top. Take the closed dust bag out of the container (1).
– Place the new dust bag over the vacuum cleaner's con-
nection flange. Make sure that the entire length of the
dust bag touches the inside wall of the container (1).
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (12) on and close
the catches (13).
Fitting the rubber lip (wet extraction) (see figure
E)
Note: The requirements for the degree of penetration (dust
class M) have only been verified for dry extraction.
– Use a suitable tool to lift the brush inserts (29) out of the
floor nozzle (30).
– Place the rubber lips (28) in the floor nozzle (30).
Note: The textured side of the rubber lips must be facing
outwards.
Attaching the L-Boxx (see figure F)
– Click the L-Boxx onto the adapters (11).
