Secure the drill dust nozzle to the handle and then place
against the wall, so that the nozzle drill hole opening sits
directly over the hole to be drilled.
Select the lowest power setting and then switch on the
vacuum cleaner.
Suction holds the drill dust nozzle in the required posi-
tion.
Depending on the surface of the wall to be drilled it may
be necessary to readjust the power to a higher setting to
ensure the drill dust nozzle is firmly attached.
Any fine particles are automatically vacuumed up.
Caution: the drill dust nozzle should only be used in
!
conjunction with the dust container since fine drill
dust can impair the function of the dust bag.

You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can
vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust contain-
er or dust bag.
We recommend that you use:
– the dust container, particularly for DIY-related clean-
ing, e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings, etc.
– the dust bag principally for everyday household
cleaning.
Using the dust container

For the optimum vacuuming results, turn the control
knob to bagless.
We recommend that you reduce the power setting
only when vacuuming very delicate materials.

If the dust container is full or blocked, or the con-
tainer filter system very dirty, the filter status indica-
tor flashes red and the blue indicator goes out.
If the appliance is not switched off, and the contain-
er is not emptied or the filter system not cleaned,
after a short time, the filter status indicator will
switch to red permanently and the appliance will
automatically be switched to the lowest power level.
It will only be possible to alter the power level again
after switching the appliance off and back on
