poWer BroKer
poWer alloCatIon feature
(models VaC090a & VaC140a only)
The Power Broker feature allows optimal
allocation of the power available between the
vacuum cleaner and power tool.
Before connecting power tool, set POWER
BROKER™ dial as follows:
1. Get tool amp rating from tool dataplate.
2. Subtract tool amp rating from 15A.
3. Set dial to the difference. Tool amp and dial
setting must not exceed 15A
notes:
• The building's circuit breaker can trip if the
combination of power tool amp rating and
the dial setting exceed the building circuit's
amp rating.
• If full vacuum cleaner power is needed with
a power tool that draws high amps, it may
be necessary to plug the power tool into a
separate circuit. However, in this situation,
the Power Tool Activation feature cannot be
used.
Switching the Vacuum Cleaner on
1. Make sure the power tool is switched off,
and then plug it in to the power tool socket
on the vacuum.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to POWER
TOOL ACTIVATION position.
3. When the power tool is switched on, the
power tool automatically switches on the
vacuum cleaner.
Switching the Vacuum Cleaner off
Turn the mode selector switch to "OFF"
position to turn off the vacuum cleaner.
In order to empty the hose, the vacuum
cleaner switches off after a 7 second delay.

Before using the filter Cleaning mode, we
suggest to advise those in hearing range
about the sound of this feature.
The Bosch Airsweep family offers 2 types of
filter cleaning vacuums: Automatic filter
cleaning and Semi-automatic filter cleaning.
Semi
C UTION
cleaning and automatic
filter cleaning must be turned off when
using Hepa filter. The reversal of air during
filter cleaning will damage the HEPA filter.
Semi
C UTION
cleaning and automatic
filter cleaning must be turned off when
using paper bags. The reversal of air during
filter cleaning may damage the paper bag.
Filter cleaning is not recommended when
using the fleece bag. The reversal of air may
damage the bag. The fleece bag will act as a
primary filter, preventing most debris from
accumulating in the vacuum filter.
automatic filter cleaning (afC) (Available
on models VAC090A, VAC140A)
Air reversals will clean the filters every 15
seconds, maintaining the highest level of
suction power. Vacuum suction will be
maintained as the filters are being cleaned.
To deactivate the AFC feature, press the red
membrane button the front of the vacuum.
The LED will turn off to signal this feature is
deactivated. To reactivate, press the red
membrane button a second time and the
greed LED light will turn on signaling the AFC
feature is activated.
Semi-automatic filter cleaning (SfC)
(Available on models VAC090S, VAC140S)
Air reversals will clean the filters when either
the actuator on the hose is depressed, or the
airflow is blocked by covering the end of the
hose. No suction will be available as the
filters are being cleaned.
To deactivate the SFC function, slide the red
switch on the side of the vacuum towards the
front of the vacuum. To reactivate, slide the
red switch towards the rear of the vacuum.
