Always work with an inserted car-

vacuum cleaning!
Dry vacuum cleaning
Illustration
For a dust-free disposal of the vacuuming
material we recommend to insert the paper
filter bag as well. This provides the addition-
al advantage that the cartridge filter will not
become contaminated that quickly.
Work only with a dry cartridge filter!
 Therefore: Always let the cartridge filter
dry thoroughly before using it!
Added filter bags can burst!
 Therefore: Change the filter bag at the
appropriate time!
Always use a filter bag while sucking
in fine dust!
 The filling level of the filter bag depends
on the dirt that is sucked in.
The filter bag needs to be replaced more
frequently while sucking in fine dust,
sand, etc.
 Please use the pre-separator accessory
(order no.2.863-139) to such in ash.
