Intended use

This wet/dry vacuum cleaner is designed to remove dry dirt and liquids.
This device is suitable for vacuuming dry, non-flam-mable dusts that are harmful to health from ma-chines and devices; dust class H as per EN 60335- 2- 69.
Industrial vacuums and portable dust removal devic-es in accordance with Technical Rule 519 (TRGS 519) Appendix 7.1 may be used for the following ap-plications:
1. In enclosed spaces, activities with low exposure in accordance with TRGS 519 number 2.8 or small-scale work in accordance with TRGS 519 No. 2.10.
2. Cleaning work. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the regulations in TRGS 519 (Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances) apply to asbestos vacuum cleaners.
After using the asbestos vacuum cleaner in the sealed-off area as per TRGS 519, the asbestos vac-uum cleaner may no longer be used in the “white ar-ea”. Exceptions are only permitted if the asbestos vacuum cleaner has been completely decontami-nated beforehand by a specialist in accordance with TRGS 519 No. 2.7 (“completely” means not only the case, but also e.g. the cooling chamber, installation spaces for electrical equipment, the operating equipment itself, etc.). This is to be recorded in writ-ing and signed by the technical expert.
The flat fold filter (GF) 6.904-242.0 (material marking B) may only be used in combination with the safety filter bag 2.889-183.0 or 2.889-184.0.
This device is suitable for commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices, and rental companies.
For Switzerland only: The socket outlet shall only be used during operation in dry condition.

If necessary, remove the sticker in the relevant national language from the enclosed sheet of stickers and stick it onto the device over the German text.

The device has 2 operating modes:

Industrial vacuum cleaner operation (power socket not used)
Dust removal operation (power socket used)

WARNING

Danger from dust that is harmful to your health Respiratory sicknesses through inhalation of dust. Do not vacuum without correctly installed filter ele- ments, otherwise a danger to health from increased fine dust emission is present.

Set the turn switch to the correct hose cross-section.

Continuous tone

The horn sounds (continuous tone) when the cooling air filter is clogged.

Allow the device to cool down. Clean/replace the cooling air filter.

Anti-static system

Static charges are discharged through the earthed con-nection nozzles. This prevents sparking and electric shocks with electrically conducting accessories (includ-ed in the scope of delivery).

General

We recommend switching off the “Automatic filter dedusting” function when vacuuming wet dirt with the crevice nozzle or the upholstery nozzle (option-al), or when sucking mainly water out of a container.
The device switches off automatically when the maximum fluid level is reached.
When vacuuming non-conductive liquids (e.g. drill emulsion, oils and grease) the device does not au-tomatically switch off when the container is full. The filling level must be continuously monitored and the container emptied on a timely basis.
On completion of wet vacuum cleaning: Clean the flat fold filter using the dedusting function. Clean the electrodes with a brush. Clean the container with a moist cloth and dry it off.

Clip connection

The suction hose is equipped with a clip system. All ac-cessory parts with a nominal width of 35 mm can be connected.

Operation

Turn switch

Switching on the device

Connect the mains plug.
Set the turn switch to the desired program.

Working with power tools

DANGER
Danger of electric shock
Risk of injury and damage.
The socket is only intended for direct connection of pow-er tools to the vacuum cleaner. Any other use of the socket is prohibited.

Plug the mains plug of the power tool into the power socket on the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner is in Standby mode.
Switch on the device at the turn switch.
Note
The vacuum cleaner is automatically switched on and off with the power tool.
Note
The vacuum cleaner has a startup delay of up to 0.5 seconds and an after- running time of up to 15 seconds.
Note
See the Technical data for the permissible power rating of the power tool.
Remove the angle piece from the suction hose. Illustration N
Install the tool adapter on the suction hose.
Connect the tool adapter to the power tool. Illustration O
Set the minimum volume flow on the turn switch for suction hose cross section. The scale shows the suction hose suction hose cross section.

Note
The different suction hose cross sections are necessary in order to adapt to the different connection cross sec-tions of the processing machines.
Note
For operation as a dust removal device for mobile oper-ation (processing machine plugged into the vacuum cleaner) the integrated monitoring system must be ad-justed to suit the connected processing machine (dust generator). This means that the user must be warned when the flow rate drops below the minimum value 20 m/s needed for correct vacuuming.
Note
Information on the minimum flow rate depending on the vacuum can be found on the type plate.

Automatic filter dedusting

The device is equipped with a special filter dedusting function, which is particularly effective against fine dust. The flat fold filter is automatically cleaned every 7.5/15/ 60 seconds (depending on use) using an airflow (puls-ing sound).

Set the turn switch to program 2 (TACT AUTO).
Power dedusting (for particularly severe contamina-tion of the flat fold filter): Set the turn switch to pro-gram 2, seal the suction pipe or bender with your hand and wait for the automatic filter cleaning to fin-ish (lasts 15 seconds). Illustration P
