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 “vacuuming”
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 the accumulated dirt in the vacuum hose, a full
dust 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 “Rectify-ing faults” section.
Extracting dust that accumulates from working power tools (see figure G
)
There must be a sufficient air exchange rate (L) in the room when the exhaust
air comes back into the room. Be aware of the corresponding national
regulations.
The dust extractor has an electric socket with a protective earth contact (5),
which can be used to connect an external power tool. Observe the maximum
permitted load of the connected power tool.
In order for sufficient dust transport to be ensured at the ex-traction point,
the volume flow must not fall below the minimum specified for the connected
power tool.

-
Remove the flat-pleated filter (26) and leave this to dry thoroughly.
-
Remove the top part of the dust extractor (12), open the filter cover (36) and leave both elements to dry thoroughly.
Automatic filter cleaning (see figure H)
When automatic filter cleaning (AFC) is active, the flat-pleated filter (26)
is cleaned every 15 seconds using blasts of air (pulsating noise).
The filter cleaning function should be used regularly, and 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.
In order 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 paper 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.

personal protective equipment while carrying out maintenance. After completing
maintenance, the maintenance area should be cleaned.
An inspection regarding the dust extraction capability must be carried out at
least once a year by the manufacturer or someone who has been trained, e.g. to
check for filter dam-age, that the vacuum cleaner is tight and that the
control unit is functioning correctly. Class M dust extractors that have been
in dirty environments should have their exteriors, as well as all their
components, cleaned or treated with sealant. When performing maintenance and
repair work, all dirty parts that cannot be cleaned satisfactorily must be
disposed of. Such parts must be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance
with the valid provisions for disposing of such waste.
Removing/changing the flat-pleated filter (see figures I1–I2)
