Note: The structured side of the rubber lips must face out-
ward.
Attaching an L-Boxx (see figure F)
For transport of the vacuum cleaner and for place-saving stor-
age of VAC accessories and/or power tools, an L-Boxx can be
mounted on the vacuum cleaner lid.
– Mount the L-Boxx onto the retainers 11.
 Do not carry the vacuum cleaner by the carrying handle
of the mounted L-Boxx. The vacuum cleaner is too heavy
for the carrying handle of the L-Boxx. Danger of injury and
causing damage.
Operation

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the vacuum cleaner. Equipment marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
 Please inform yourself about the valid regula-
tions/laws for your country concerning the handling of
materials that are hazardous to one's health.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable for vacuuming and extracting
the following materials:
– Dusts with an exposition limit value ≥ 0.1 mg/m
The vacuum cleaner may generally not be used in rooms
where the danger of an explosion exists.
To save energy, only switch the vacuum cleaner on when us-
ing it.
To ensure optimal vacuuming performance, always complete-
ly unwind the vacuum hose 24 from the vacuum cleaner lid
12.

Dry Vacuuming

Vacuuming of deposited dusts
– Set the airflow regulator 6 to the hose diameter being
used.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner on, set the mode
selector switch 7 to the "vacuuming" symbol.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner off, set the mode
selector switch 7 to the "Off" symbol.
The vacuum cleaner is fitted with airflow monitoring. In the
"vacuuming" mode, the airflow monitoring is fixed on a value of
20 m/s, irrespective of the setting of the airflow regulator 6.
If the value falls below this, e.g. due to accumulated dirt in the
suction hose, a full dust bag or a clogged flat-fold filter, an audi-
ble alarm signal will sound.In this case, switch off the vacuum
cleaner and check it as stated in the section "Correction of Mal-
functions".
