9. Device
9.1 Switching On/Off, suction power
Prior to switching on the device set the respective
suction power via the rotary switch (14):
Off= vacuum cleaner off
ECO = vacuum cleaner on (manual operation)
Boost = high suction power.
The suction power can also be changed with the
machine in operation.
9.2 Manual mode
Move the switch (5), if fitted (depending on
model**), to "MAN" position and move the switch
(14) to "ECO" or "Boost" position. The device runs
continuously. Capacity display (6) shows the
battery pack capacity continuously.
9.3 Automatic switch-on "CORDLESS
CONTROL" (depending on model)
1. Switching off: Move switch (14) to "O" position.
Capacity display is off. The device does not use any
power.
2. Move the switch (5) to "AUTO" and switch (14) to
"ECO" or "BOOST position. The device is now in
standby mode and can be switched on and off by
means of "CORDLESS CONTROL".
Capacity display (5) shows the battery pack
capacity continuously, as long as standby mode is
active.
Information on "automatic": If the switch is turned to
"AUTO", the vacuum cleaner will be ready for
operation for 10 hours (standby). Capacity display
(5) shows the battery pack capacity. Without
vacuuming, the device will switch off automatically
10 hours after the last operation (sleep mode,
capacity display off, the device does not use any
power). To wake up the device (restore standby):
turn main switch (14) to "OFF" and then again to
"ECO" or "BOOST". Alternatively: press the
capacity indicator button (14).
Information on "CordlessControl": The device
starts/stops automatically when switching on/off the
power tool equipped with a CordlessControl (40)
transmitter (suction hose). Manual start/stop of the
vacuum cleaner is also possible by pressing a
button on the CordlessControl transmitter. Follow
the operating instructions of the CordlessControl
transmitter.
The CordlessControl transmitter is connected to the
vacuum cleaner by default. In the event of battery
replacement or when replacing the unit, reconnect:
1. Turn switch (14) to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn toggle switch (5) to the "AUTO" position.
3. Press the button on the transmitter (40) until the
blue LED flashes.
4. Keep the transmitter (40) pressed and set switch
(14) to "BOOST".
5. Transmitter (40) starts to blink green, keep
pressed until the LED goes out.
6. The transmitter (40) is now connected to the
vacuum cleaner.
9.4 PressClean
See illustration G, page 2. To clean the filter (33)
using a strong air flow: Press the button (39) whilst
the suction is running (press down three times)
while keeping the suction opening shut (on the
suction hose or on the container).
9.5 Volume flow control display (12) (only for
devices of dust class M and H)
If the volume flow falls below 20m/s, the LED
flashes red and an acoustic signal is emitted.
The volume flow control display lights up and there
is an additional acoustic signal when the container
is full and/or if the suction hose is blocked.
For troubleshooting see chapter
10. Use
10.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, dry device and dry
accessories only. If the cartridge is damp, dust may
stick and form a crust.
Always use fleece filter bag (26) or PE disposal bag
(27) together with pleated filter (33).
10.2 Wet vacuuming
Never operate the machine without inserting
filter or special wet filter. The machine may be
destroyed and water may also escape.
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. In this
case switch off the device. Remove battery pack.
Only vacuum liquids when the float (35) is
functioning properly (see chapter 12. maintenance).
After switching off, some water may run back out of
the hose.
Before emptying, first of all 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.
Before storage: leave humid filter and the inside of
the dust container to dry completely.
10.3 Transport
Remove battery pack.
L class: Leave the hose on the machine to prevent
dust from accidentally being released.
