Dry Vacuuming
Vacuuming of deposited dusts
GAS 15:
– To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off
switch 4 to "On".
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off
switch 4 to "Off".
GAS 15 PS:
– To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the mode
selector switch 4 to the "Vacuuming" symbol.
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the mode
selector switch 4 to the "Switching Off" symbol.
Extraction of dusts resulting from running power
tools (only for GAS 15 PS) (see figure F)
 An adequate ventilation rate (L) must be provided for
when the outgoing air is circulated. Observe the re-
spective national regulations.
A socket outlet with earthing contact 3 is integrated in the
vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be connected
there. Observe the maximal allowable load of the connected
power tool.
– Mount the tool sleeve 14 (see "Mounting the Tool Sleeve",
page 17).
– Insert the tool sleeve 14 into the vacuum connection of the
power tool.
Note: When working with power tools that have a low air feed
into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the air dif-
fuser 30 of the tool sleeve 14 must be opened. Only then can
the semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC) work without any
problems.
To do so, turn the ring above the air diffuser 30 until a maxi-
mum opening is produced.
– To activate the automatic start/stop of
the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector
switch 4 to the "Automatic Start/Stop" sym-
bol.
– To start the operation of the vac, switch on the power tool
connected to the socket 3. The vacuum cleaner starts au-
tomatically.
– Switch the power tool off to end the vacuuming.
The delayed action shutdown of the Automatic Start/Stop
continues to run for up to 6 seconds in order to extract re-
sidual dust from the vacuum hose.
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the mode
selector switch 4 to the "Switching Off" symbol.
Wet Vacuuming
