Inserting the Dust Bag
Unlock the latches 11 and remove the vacuum
top 3.
For dry vacuuming operation, a dust bag 16 (ac-
cessory) should be inserted.
When operating with a dust bag, the folded fil-
ter 17 clogs less fast, the vacuuming perform-
ance is kept up longer and the disposal of dust
becomes easier.
Grasp a new dust bag 16 at the flange. Push it
over the bottom of the connection piece first and
then over the cog on the top. Make sure that the
full length of the dust bag faces against the inner
wall of the container 9. Attach the vacuum top.
Removal of the dust bag is carried out in reverse
order.
Lock the latches 11.
Insert the vacuum hose 8 into the hose connec-
tion piece 7 until it is seated firmly or place it onto
the hose connection piece 7 respectively, and
turn it in clockwise direction to the stop.
Insert the extension tubes firmly into each other.
Removing the Dust Bag
Pull the dust bag 16 from the connection piece to-
wards the rear. Close the flange of the dust bag
by folding down the lid and remove.
It is recommended to use static-discharging
hoses with a hose Ø of 19 or 35 mm.

Initial Operation

Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of
the power source must agree with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-
nected to 220 V.

To start the operation of the vac, set the mode
selector switch 4 to on.
To switch off the vac, set the mode selector
switch 4 to off.
Operation with remote automatic
switching
Set the mode selector switch 4 to the operation
with remote automatic switching symbol.
The vacuum cleaner is switched on automatically
by the power tool connected to the socket 5.
For connecting the power tool, various hose sys-
tems are available as accessories.
To start the operation of the vac, switch on the
power tool connected to the socket 5. The vac-
uum cleaner starts automatically.
To switch off the vac, switch off the power tool.
The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically
approx. 6 seconds later.
Reduced Starting Current
Due to the soft starting of the machine, a starting
current of 13 A is not exceeded.
The machine is equipped with an electromag-
netic filter cleaning system, which removes dust
adhering to the folded filter 17.
The filter cleaning system must be actuated latest
when the vacuuming performance is no longer
sufficient.
Set the mode selector switch 4 to the electro-
magnetic filter cleaning symbol. The filters are
cleaned for approx. 10 seconds.
In the electro-magnetic filter cleaning mode, the
air flow of the machine is tested. When the air
flow is too low due to a clogged folded filter and
the connected power tool is switched off for at
least 10 seconds, then the electro-magnetic filter
cleaning is automatically started.
The machine vibrates for approx. 10 seconds
and switches off automatically.
Wait shortly before restarting the vacuuming op-
eration so that the dust can settle in the con-
tainer.
The filter cleaning frequency depends on the type
and amount of dust.
With regular usage, the maximum vacuuming
performance is maintained longer.
