Dry vacuuming
ATTENTION
Vacuuming cold ashes
Device damage
Only vacuum cold ash with an ash pre-separator.
ATTENTION
Defective or wet flat pleated filter
Device damage
Before initial startup, check the flat pleated filter for
damage and replace it if necessary.
Only vacuum with a dry flat pleated filter.
Note
Replace the filter bag in good time, as a filter bag that is
too full could be damaged. The fill degree of the filter
bag depends on the amount of dirt vacuumed. The filter
bag should be replaced more frequently when vacuum-
ing fine dust, sand, etc.
Wet vacuuming
ATTENTION
Wet vacuuming with a filter bag
Device damage
Do not use a filter bag when vacuuming wet.
ATTENTION
Operation with full container
When the container is full, a float switch closes the suc-
tion opening and the device runs at a higher speed.
Switch off the device immediately and empty the con-
tainer.
Note
If the device falls over, the float can also close. To make
the device capable of vacuuming again, set up the de-
vice, switch it off, wait 5 seconds and then switch it on
again.

tool is switched off, the suction turbine continues to run
for approx. 5 seconds in order to suck in the residual dirt
in the suction hose.

difficult to reach or where vacuuming is not possible,
