Fitting the Brackets for Extractor Accessories
(see figure B)
– Slide the bracket (22) for the suction tube and crevice
nozzle firmly into the adapter (10) provided for it from
above until it clicks into place.
– Slide the bracket (23) for the vacuum hose and floor
nozzle firmly into the adapter (7) provided for it from

Fitting the vacuum hose (see figure C)
– Insert the vacuum hose (13) into the hose adapter (8) un-
til both snap fasteners (25) of the vacuum hose click into
place.
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).
Fitting the Vacuuming Accessories
The vacuum hose (13) is equipped with a clip system which
can be used to connect vacuuming accessories (dust extrac-
tion adapter (14), curved nozzle (15)).
Fitting the extraction adapter or curved nozzle
(see figure D)
– Fit the extraction adapter (14) or the curved nozzle (15)
to the vacuum hose (13) until the two snap fasten-
ers (25) on the vacuum hose audibly click into place.
– To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (25) in-
wards and pull apart the components.
Fitting the Nozzles and Tubes
– If required, place the suction tubes (18) firmly inside one
another and then attach them firmly to the curved nozzle
(15).
– Attach the floor nozzle (17) or the crevice nozzle (16)
firmly to the suction tube (18) or the curved nozzle (15).

u
ing the dust extractor.
Operation
Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
u
maintenance on the dust extractor, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or placing the dust
extractor in storage. This safety measure prevents the
dust extractor from being started accidentally.
Ensure that the work area is clean and tidy to minim-
u
ise the risk of tripping.
Start-up
The dust extractor must not be used without a filter.
u
Before extraction, ensure that the filter unit is se-
u
curely fitted.
Before extraction, ensure that the battery compart-
u
ment cover is securely closed.
Please inform yourself about the applicable regula-
u
tions/laws on how to handle harmful types of dust in
your country.
The dust extractor must categorically not be used in poten-
tially explosive areas.
To ensure optimum suction power, you must always fully un-
wind the vacuum hose (13) from the vacuum hose
bracket (23).
For safety reasons, the dust extractor does not switch on if
the on/off button (3) is held down for longer than 5 s.
Do not use damaged filters (e.g. no cracks, small
u
holes, etc.). Replace any damaged filters immedi-
ately.

ton (3) again.
Extracting dust that accumulates from working power
tools (see figure G)

u
room when the exhaust air comes back into the room.
Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.
– Fit the dust extraction adapter (14) or the curved
nozzle (15) (see "Fitting the extraction adapter or curved
nozzle (see figure D)", page 17).
