When using a PE disposal bag, the filter cleaning
must be switched on (function AR / IR) for
corresponding materials (see recommendation).
Switch off appliance. Unplug mains cable. Ensure
the plug cannot be reconnected accidentally. Open
the snap locks (6). Remove the upper part (3) from
the container (8).
See illustration B, page 2. Holding the new filter bag
by the flange, push it together with the rubber
diaphragm over the suction connection. Ensure that
the rubber diaphragm is fitted over the thicker
section.
Spread out the PE filter bag (10) evenly across the
container floor. Arrange the edges of the PE filter
bag around the container rim so that the bag is firmly
clamped on all sides by the attached upper part (3).
Replace the upper part of the appliance on the
container, close the snap locks.
7. The Appliance
7.1 Switching On/Off, automatic operation
Select operating mode on switch (1):
0 = Vacuum cleaner off
I = Vacuum cleaner on (manual operation)
= Automatic On/Off switch:
The vacuum cleaner is switched on or off
by means of a power tool connected to the
mains socket (2).
7.2 PressClean
See illustration E, page 2. To clean the pleated filter
(11) using a strong air flow: Press the button (4)
during the work breaks (press down three times)
while keeping the suction opening shut (on the
suction hose or on the container).
7.3 Integrated blower function
For air-cleaning, drying purposes and diverting
extracted air. For this purpose, insert a suitable
hose (scope of delivery) in the exhaust port (5).
Do not allow the emitted blower air to enter
confined spaces uncontrollably. Ensure the
hose used is clean. Dust can be hazardous to
health.
7.4 Power socket (2)
The power socket (2) is designed for connec-
tion to a power tool only.
The total maximum permissible current
consumption (of vacuum cleaner and
connected unit) must not exceed the value I

8. Use
8.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, dry appliance and dry
accessories only. If the cartridge is damp, dust may
stick and form a crust.
Always use fleece filter bag (9) or PE filter bag (10)
together with pleated filter (11).
8.2 Wet Vacuuming
Never operate the appliance without inserting
a pleated filter (11). Otherwise, the appliance
may be destroyed and water may also escape.
You can use either fleece filter bags (9) or PE filter
bags (10). The pleated filter (11) is suitable for wet
vacuuming.
Before carrying out any wet vacuuming, remove the
dry vacuumed material. This process will prevent
severe soiling and encrustation.
The appliance has a float system that enables it to
switch off the air flow when the maximum liquid level
is reached. When this happens, you will hear a
distinct change in the sound of the motor. Then
switch off the appliance and pull the plug from the
socket. Only vacuum liquids when the float is
working properly (see section 10. Maintenance).
After the appliance is switched off, some water may
run back out of the hose.
Before emptying, first take the suction hose out of
the liquid.
If you are then going to dry vacuum, insert a dry
filter. If there is frequent switching between dry and
wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of a second
(replacement) filter. Allow the filter, container and
accessories to dry: otherwise dust may adhere to
damp components.
8.3 Transport
Leave the hose on the appliance to prevent dust
from accidentally being released.
Secure the suction hose or mains connection lead
to the appliance using the transport bracket.
The upper part (3) must be securely sealed to the
container (8) - check that the snap locks (6) are
closed.
9. Cleaning
9.1 General Cleaning Instructions
