- Open the vacuum cleaner,
- Remove the used fi lter bag (see printed text on
fi lter bag),
- Dispose of the used fi lter bag in accordance with
statutory requirements,
- Thoroughly clean the dirt container (2.10) and
the space (3.1) for suction turbine (wipe down
with a damp cloth),
- Insert new fi lter bag (see printed text on fi lter
bag). Important: Press the fi lter bag sleeve (3.3)
fi rmly onto the dust extraction fi tting (3.2)!
- Close the vacuum cleaner.
b) Changing the fi lter element (2.3)
Order no.: 452923
Do not operate machine without a fi lter
element. This may damage the motor.
- Open the vacuum cleaner,
- Remove the used fi lter element (see printed text
on the fi lter element packaging),
- Dispose of the used fi lter element in a sealed,
dust-tight bag in accordance with statutory re-
quirements,
- Thoroughly clean dirt container (2.10) and space
(3.1) for the suction turbine (wipe down with a
damp cloth),
- Fit a new fi lter element (see printed text on the
fi lter element packaging),
- Close vacuum cleaner.
4.3 Cleaning the fi lter element
To clean, move the handle (2.1) to and fro about
10 times. N.B.: You need to clean the fi lter ele-
ment only if you use the vacuum cleaner without
a fi lter bag.
4.4 Emptying the dirt trap (2.10)
Always remove the upper part of the vacuum
cleaner before emptying the dirt container!
- Open the vacuum cleaner,
- Raise the upper part slightly, depress the sup-
port (2.5),
- Raise the upper part to the stop (vertical posi-
tion),
- Remove the upper part by moving it forwards
horizontally,
- Empty the dirt container,
- Replace the upper part. Warning: Make sure
that both upper-part pins are fully inserted in
the recesses (1.5)!
- Close the vacuum cleaner.
4.5 Stand/Brake
The wheels can be blocked by the brakes (2.8),
thus preventing the vacuum cleaner from rolling
away unexpectedly.
4.6 Hose depot (partly in scope of delivery)
Securing the hose depot on the dust extractor:
see Fig. 4. When work is complete, you can guide
the extractor hose through the opening (4.1) and
deposit the hose in the depot. Similarly, the mains
cable can also be guided through the opening (4.2)
and deposited in the hose depot.
5 Application
- A systainer can be fi xed to the storage area (1.9)
with the two clamps (1.11). Tools or accessories
can also be stowed on the storage area and in
the storage compartments (1.6).
- A hose coupling (1.10) (487072) can be plugged
into the opening (1.7). The suction hose is con-
nected to the tool from above with the hose
coupling. Alternatively, a hose clip (452998) can
be fi tted for coiling the suction hose.
- The push handle (2.11) (452921) makes the
vacuum cleaner easier to move. Accessories
(e.g. vacuum accessories) can be fi xed to the
push handle batten (2.9).
- An air blast is obtained by inserting a suction
hose in the blast opening (2.7).
5.1 Vacuuming dry materials
A fi lter bag must be used without excep-
tion when evacuating noxious substanc-
es!
Before using the vacuum cleaner to evacuate dry
substances, a fi lter bag must always be inserted
in the container. Then the evacuated material can
be disposed of easily. The fi lter element becomes
damp after evacuating liquids. A damp fi lter ele-
ment suffers more wear and tear if it is used for
dry materials. Accordingly, the filter element
should be dried or replaced with a dry one before
dry operation.
5.2 Vacuuming liquids
Do not evacuate combustible liquids!
