Dry vacuuming

  • Vacuuming up dust deposits
    • Adjust the volume flow controller (6) to suit the hose diameter used.
    • To switch on the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “extraction” symbol.
    • To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “switch off” symbol.
    • The dust extractor is fitted with airflow monitoring. In the “extraction” operating mode, the volume flow monitoring is fixed to a value of 20 m/s, irrespective of the setting of the volume flow controller (6).
    • If the value falls below this, e.g. due to accumulated dirt in the vacuum hose, a full safety filter bag or a clogged flat pleated filter, an audible alarm signal will sound. In this case, switch off the dust extractor and check it as described in the “Rectifying faults” section.

Extracting dust that accumulates from working power tools (see figure G)

  • There must be a sufficient air exchange rate in the room when the exhaust air comes back into the room. Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.
  • The dust extractor has a plug socket with a protective earth contact (5) that can be used to connect an external power tool. Observe the maximum permitted connected load of the connected power tool.
  • In order for sufficient dust transport to be ensured at the extraction point, the volume flow must not fall below the minimum specified for the connected power tool.
    • Adjust the volume flow controller (6) to suit the hose diameter used.
    • Fit the dust extraction adapter (23).
    • Insert the dust extraction adapter (23) into the extraction outlet of the power tool.
    • Note: When working with power tools that have a low air feed into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the false air intake (36) of the dust extraction adapter (23) must be opened. This will ensure that the automatic filter cleaning function works correctly. To do this, turn the ring above the false air intake (36) until the opening is at its maximum size.
  • To activate the automatic start/stop function of the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “automatic start/stop” symbol.
  • In this operating mode, the volume flow is electronically monitored according to the setting of the volume flow controller (6).
  • Having the correct setting selected ensures sufficient dust transport.
  • To start the dust extractor, switch on the power tool connected to the plug socket (5). The dust extractor will start automatically.
  • To stop dust extraction, switch the power tool off. The automatic start/stop run-on function will run for up to 15 seconds longer to extract the remaining dust from the vacuum hose.
  • To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “switch off” symbol.
  • If the acoustic warning signal sounds, the dust extractor must be checked as described in the “Rectifying faults” section.

Wet-vacuuming

  • Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not vacuum hot, burning or explosive dust. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or explode.
  • The vacuum cleaner must not be used as a water pump. The vacuum cleaner is designed for vacuuming air and vacuuming water mixtures.
  • Note: The requirements for the degree of penetration (dust class H) have only been verified for dry extraction.

Steps to Take Before Wet Vacuuming

  • Remove the disposal bag (27) or the safety filter bag (26) if necessary.
    • Note: Use a wet filter bag (accessory), which separates liquid from solids, to make disposal easier when vacuuming water-solid mixtures.
  • Place the rubber lip (30) into the floor nozzle (32).
  • Switch off the automatic filter cleaning (AFC).

Vacuuming up liquids

  • To switch on the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “extraction” symbol.
  • The dust extractor is equipped with fill level sensors (40).
  • The dust extractor shuts down if the maximum fill level has been reached. Set the mode selector switch (7) to the “switch off” symbol.
  • Note: When extracting non-conductive liquids (e.g. drilling emulsion, oils and fats), the dust extractor will not switch off when the container is full. The fill level must be constantly monitored and the container emptied in good time.
  • If the acoustic warning signal sounds during wet extraction, the operating reliability of the dust extractor is not affected. No measures to rectify the fault are necessary.
  • To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the “switch off” symbol.
  • To transport the dust extractor, screw the sealing plug (2) onto the hose adapter (3).
  • Empty the container (1).

To prevent mould growth after wet extraction:

  • Remove the flat-pleated filter (28) and leave this to dry thoroughly.
  • Remove the top part of the dust extractor (12), open the filter cover (39) and leave both elements to dry thoroughly.

Automatic filter cleaning (see figure H)

  • When automatic filter cleaning (AFC) is active, the flat pleated filter (28) is cleaned every 15 seconds using blasts of air (pulsating noise).
  • The filter cleaning function should be activated at the very latest when the suction power is no longer sufficient.
  • Regular use of the filter cleaning function will increase the service life of the filter.
  • To achieve an optimum filter service life, deactivate the automatic filter cleaning function only in exceptional cases, e.g. when vacuuming pure liquids or using a safety filter bag.
  • A flat-pleated filter with surface dirt is still fully functional. It is not necessary to clean the flat-pleated filter manually by shaking or blowing it out; this may even damage the filter.
  • Note: The automatic filter cleaning function is switched on by default when the dust extractor leaves the factory.
  • It is only possible to switch the automatic filter function on or off when the tool is switched on.
  • Deactivating AFC
    • Press the AFC button (9).
    • The control LED (37) will go out.
  • Activating AFC
    • Press the AFC button (9).
    • The control LED (37) will light up green.
