6. Initial Operation
Before plugging in the appliance, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as specified on the rating label, match your power supply.
Attach the handle connecting piece or coupling to the suction hose (see illustration A, page 2.).
Prepare the suction tube as shown for storage in the repository (see illustration C, page 2.).
6.1 Inserting a Fleece Filter Bag (8)
We recommend using fleece filter bags for:
– Applications, where small amounts of fine dust are created (e.g. spot-
grinding and grinding of paint and lacquer coatings, extraction of drilling
applications with small diameters < 10 mm of short duration, etc.).
– Use of machines, such as: routers, planers, small grinding machines, etc.
When using a fleece/paper filter bag the filter cleaning is non-functional.
Switch off appliance. Unplug mains cable. Ensure the plug cannot be reconnected accidentally. Open the snap locks (5). Remove the upper part (3) from the container (7).
See illustration B, page 2. Holding the new filter bag by the flange, push it together with the rubber diaphragm over the suction connection. Ensure that the rubber diaphragm is fitted over the thicker section.
Replace the upper part of the appliance on the container and close the snap locks.
6.2 Inserting a PE Filter Bag (9)
We recommend the use of PE-disposal bags for:
– Applications, where larger amounts of dust are created (e.g. removal of
plaster surfaces, spot-grinding and grinding of screeds, etc.).
– Use of machines, such as e.g.: renovation milling machines, renovation
grinders, drywall grinders, wall grinders etc.
When using a PE disposal bag, the filter cleaning must be switched on (function AR / IR) for corresponding materials (see recommendation).
Switch off appliance. Unplug mains cable. Ensure the plug cannot be reconnected accidentally. Open the snap locks (5). Remove the upper part (3) from the container (7).
See illustration B, page 2. Holding the new filter bag by the flange, push it together with the rubber diaphragm over the suction connection. Ensure that the rubber diaphragm is fitted over the thicker section.
Spread out the PE filter bag (9) evenly across the container floor. Arrange the edges of the PE filter bag around the container rim so that the bag is firmly clamped on all sides by the attached upper part (3).

7. The Appliance
7.1 Switching On/Off, automatic operation
Select operating mode on switch (1):
0 = Vacuum cleaner off
I = Vacuum cleaner on (manual operation)
= Automatic On/Off switch:
The vacuum cleaner is switched on or off by means of a power tool connected to
the mains socket (2).
7.2 PressClean
See illustration E, page 2. To clean the pleated filter (10) using a strong air flow: Press the button (4) during the work breaks (press down three times) while keeping the suction opening shut (on the suction hose or on the container).
7.3 Power socket (2)
The power socket (2) is designed for connection to a power tool only.
The total maximum permissible current consumption (of vacuum cleaner and connected unit) must not exceed the value Imax (see table, page 3).
If the switch (1) is in the ‘ ‘ position, the vacuum cleaner is switched on or off by means of a power tool connected to the mains socket (2).
8. Use
8.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, dry appliance and dry accessories only. If the cartridge is damp, dust may stick and form a crust.
Always use fleece filter bag (8) or PE filter bag (9) together with pleated filter (10).
8.2 Wet Vacuuming
Never operate the appliance without inserting a pleated filter (10). Otherwise, the appliance may be destroyed and water may also escape.
You can use either fleece filter bags (8) or PE filter bags (9). The pleated filter (10) is suitable for wet vacuuming.
Before carrying out any wet vacuuming, remove the dry vacuumed material. This process will prevent severe soiling and encrustation.
The appliance has a float system that enables it to switch off the air flow when the maximum liquid level is reached. When this happens, you will hear a distinct change in the sound of the motor. Then switch off the appliance and pull the plug from the socket. Only vacuum liquids when the float is working properly (see section 10. Maintenance).
After the appliance is switched off, some water may run back out of the hose.
Before emptying, first take the suction hose out of the liquid.
If you are then going to dry vacuum, insert a dry filter. If there is frequent switching between dry and wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of a second (replacement) filter. Allow the filter, container and accessories to dry: otherwise dust may adhere to damp components.
Before storage: leave humid filter and the inside of the dust container to dry completely.
8.3 Transport
Leave the hose on the appliance to prevent dust from accidentally being released.
Secure the suction hose or mains connection lead to the appliance using the transport bracket.
The upper part (3) must be securely sealed to the container (7) – check that the snap locks (5) are closed.
