There must be a sufficient air exchange rate (L) in the
u
room when the exhaust air comes back into the room.
Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.
– Fit the dust extraction adapter (14) or the curved nozzle
(15) (see "Fitting the extraction adapter or curved nozzle
(see figure D)", page 15).
– Insert dust extraction adapter 14 or curved nozzle 15 into
the power tool's dust extraction outlet.
Only when using the dust extraction adapter (14):
Note: When working with power tools that have a low air
feed into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the
false air intake (26) of the dust extraction adapter (14) must
be opened. This will improve the total output of the dust ex-
tractor and the power tool. To do this, turn the ring above
the false air intake (26) until the opening is at its maximum
size.

Wet Vacuuming

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible
u
or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or
solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not
operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explo-
sion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or ex-
plode.
Before wet vacuuming:
– Empty the container (1).
– Clean the filter (27) and fit it back into the dust extractor
(see "Cleaning/replacing filters (see figures G1–G2)",
page 16).
The dust extractor is equipped with a float. Extraction is
stopped when the maximum filling level is reached.
After wet vacuuming, always:
– Empty the container (1).
– Empty the water from the filter (27).
To prevent mould growth after wet vacuuming:
– Remove the dust extractor lid (5) and leave it to dry thor-
oughly.
– Remove the filter (27) and also leave this to dry thor-
oughly (see "Cleaning/replacing filters (see figures G1–
G2)", page 16).

Maintenance and Servicing

Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
u
maintenance on the dust extractor, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or placing the dust
extractor in storage. This safety measure prevents the
dust extractor from being started accidentally.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the dust extractor and the ventilation slots clean.
For the user to carry out maintenance, the dust extractor
needs to be disassembled, cleaned and maintained as far as
this is possible without endangering maintenance personnel
1 609 92A 48N | (05.04.2018)
or other persons. Before disassembly, the dust extractor
should be cleaned to prevent any potential hazards. The
room in which the dust extractor is disassembled should be
well ventilated. Wear personal protective equipment while
carrying out maintenance. After completing maintenance,
the maintenance area should be cleaned.
An inspection regarding the dust extraction capability must
be carried out at least once a year by the manufacturer or
someone who has been trained, e.g. to check for filter dam-
age, that the dust extractor is tight and that the control unit
is functioning correctly.
Class L dust extractors which were located in dirty environ-
ments should have their exteriors, as well as all their com-
ponents, cleaned or treated with sealant. When performing
maintenance and repair work, all dirty parts that cannot be
cleaned satisfactorily must be disposed of. Such parts must
be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance with the
valid provisions for disposing of such waste.
– Clean the housing of the dust extractor occasionally with
a damp cloth.
– Clean dirty charging pins using a dry cloth.
Cleaning the container (see figures F1–F2)
Clean the container (1) after each use in order to ensure that
the dust extractor continues to perform optimally.
– Open the catches (2) and remove the dust extractor lid
(5).
– Shake out the container (1) over a suitable waste bin.
– If necessary, clean the container with a damp cloth.
Clean the filter if required (see "Cleaning/replacing filters
(see figures G1–G2)", page 16).
– Replace the dust extractor lid (5) and close the catches
(2).
Cleaning/replacing filters (see figures G1–G2)
Suction power is dependent on the condition of the filter.
Therefore, the filter should be cleaned regularly.
Replace any damaged filters immediately.
– Open the catches (2) and remove the dust extractor lid
(5).
– Turn the filter (27) as far as it will go in the direction of ro-
tation " " and remove it from the filter bracket (28).
– If the filter is dry:
Tap the filter (27) on the side of a suitable waste bin.
When doing so, ensure that you do not damage the flaps
on the filter.
To achieve maximum suction power, brush down the
flaps of the filter using a soft brush.
or
If the filter is wet:
Rinse the filter (27) under running water and then leave it
to dry thoroughly.
or
Replace the filter (27) if it is damaged.
– Position the filter (27) over the filter bracket (28) and
turn it as far as it will go in the direction of rotation " ".
