– Work the new dust bag over the connection flange of the
vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the dust bag faces com-
pletely against the interior sides of the container 1 over its
full length.
– Reattach the vacuum lid 8 again and lock the latches 9.
Inserting the Rubber Lip (Wet Vacuuming)
(see figure F)
Note: The requirements for the ingress degree (dust
category L) have only been proven for dry vacuuming.
– Carefully pry the brush inserts 27 out of the floor nozzle 28
using a suitable tool.
– Insert the rubber lips 26 into the floor nozzle 28.
Note: The structured side of the rubber lips must face out-
ward.
Attaching an L-Boxx (see figure G)
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 7.
 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 > 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 21 from the vacuum cleaner lid 8.

Dry Vacuuming

Vacuuming of deposited dusts
– To switch the vacuum cleaner on, set the mode
selector switch 5 to the "vacuuming" symbol.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner off, set the mode
selector switch 5 to the "Off" symbol.

Extraction of dusts resulting from running power tools
(see figure H)
 An adequate ventilation rate (L) must be provided for
when the outgoing air is circulated. Observe the re-
spective national regulations.
A socket outlet with earthing contact 3 is integrated in the
vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be connected
there. Observe the maximal allowable load of the connected
power tool.
– Mount the tool sleeve 19 (see "Mounting the Tool Sleeve",
page 19).
– Insert the tool sleeve 19 into the vacuum connection of the
power tool.
Note: When operating power tools that have a low air infeed
into the vacuum hose (e. g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), open the
air diffuser 32 of the tool sleeve 19. This measure will ensure
trouble-free semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC+) operation.
Turn the ring above the air diffuser 32 until the opening is at
its maximum size.
– To start the vacuum cleaner's automatic
Start/Stop feature, set the mode selector
switch 5 to the "Automatic Start/Stop" sym-
bol.
– To start the operation of the vac, switch on the power tool
connected to the socket 3. The vacuum cleaner starts au-
tomatically.
– Switch the power tool off to end the vacuuming.
The delayed action shutdown of the Automatic Start/Stop
continues to run for up to 15 seconds in order to extract re-
sidual dust from the vacuum hose.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner off, set the mode
selector switch 5 to the "Off" symbol.

Wet Vacuuming

 Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for ex-
ample, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum
hot or burning dust. Do not operate the machine in
rooms where the danger of an explosion exists. The
dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.
 The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
3
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Note: The requirements for the ingress degree (dust
category L) have only been proven for dry vacuuming.
– Remove the disposal bag 23 or the dust bag and empty the
container 1 before wet vacuuming.
Note: For easier disposal when vacuuming liquid-solid mix-
tures, use a wet filter bag (accessory), which separates liq-
uids from solids.
– Mount the rubber lips into the floor nozzle (see "Inserting
the Rubber Lip", page 20).
– Switch the semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC+) off (see
"Deactivating the SFC+", page 21).
