Maintenance and Servicing

Maintenance and cleaning
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.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the dust extractor and the ventilation slots clean.
– Clean the housing of the vacuum cleaner occasionally
with a damp cloth.
– Clean dirty charging contacts using a dry cloth.
Cleaning the Dust Container (see figures C1–C2)
Clean the dust container (6) after each use in order to en-
sure that the vacuum cleaner continues to perform optim-
ally.
– Hold the vacuum cleaner down slightly so that dust can-
not fall out of the dust container when the vacuum cleaner
is opened.
– Press the release button (1) and remove the dust con-
tainer (6) from the motor housing (5).
– Shake out the dust container (6) over a suitable waste
bin.
– If necessary, clean the filters (see "Cleaning the filters
(see figures D1 – D4)", page 8).
– Then fit the dust container into the bottom of the motor
housing and apply light pressure to the dust container un-
til you hear it click into place.
Cleaning the filters (see figures D1 – D4)
The fine dust filter (16) must not be wet cleaned.
– Hold the vacuum cleaner down slightly so that dust can-
not fall out of the dust container when the vacuum cleaner
is opened.
– Press the release button (1) and remove the dust con-
tainer (6) from the motor housing (5).

– Pull the filter unit (coarse dirt filter (14) and fine dust fil-
ter (16)) by the housing wall (15) away from the motor
housing.
– Pull the fine dust filter (16) out of the coarse dirt filter
(14).
– Gently push the fine dust filter (16) together along the
long sides and carefully tap it over a suitable waste bin. If
necessary, brush the flaps of the fine dust filter with a soft
brush.
– To assemble, perform the same steps in reverse order.
Faults
If the suction power is insufficient, check:
– Is the dust container (6) full?
▷ (see "Cleaning the Dust Container (see figures C1–
C2)", page 8)
– Are the filters (14)/(16) clogged with dust?
▷ (see "Cleaning the filters (see figures D1 – D4)",
page 8)
– Is the battery's state of charge (4) too low?
▷ (see "Charging the battery", page 7)
Regularly emptying the dust container and cleaning the fil-
ters will ensure optimum suction power.
If suction power is still not sufficient, take the vacuum
cleaner to the after-sales service.
