Assembly
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Mounting the Vacuum-hose Holder (see figure A)
– Slide the vacuum-hose holders 4 firmly from above into the
retainers 36 intended for this purpose, until they engage.
Mounting the Vacuum Hose (see figure B)
– Mount the vacuum hose 27 onto the hose connection
piece 3 and turn it in clockwise direction to the stop.
Note: While vacuuming, an electrostatic charge develops in
the vacuum hose and accessories caused by the friction of the
dust, which the operator could experience in the form of stat-
ic discharging (dependent on environmental influences and
physical perception).
As a general rule, Bosch recommends using an anti-static vac-
uum hose (accessory) when vacuuming fine dusts and dry
materials.
Mounting VAC Accessories (see figure C)
The vacuum hose 27 is equipped with a clip system, with
which the VAC accessories (tool sleeve 25, elbow 28) can be
connected.
Mounting the Tool Sleeve
– Mount the tool sleeve 25 onto the vacuum hose 27 until
both snap-fasteners 37 of the vacuum hose can be heard
to engage.
– To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 37 inward and
pull the components apart.
Bosch Power Tools
Mounting Nozzles and Tubes
– Mount the elbow 28 onto the vacuum hose 27 until both
snap-fasteners 37 of the vacuum hose can be heard to en-
gage.
– Afterwards, mount the desired VAC accessory (floor noz-
zle, crevice nozzle, vacuum tube, etc.) firmly onto the el-
bow 28.
– To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 37 inward and
pull the components apart.
Inserting/Removing a Disposal Bag or Dust
Bag (Dry Vacuuming) (see figure D)
For dry vacuuming of materials according to dust category M,
a disposal bag 29 or a dust bag must be inserted.
When vacuuming materials with or without an exposition limit
3
value ≥ 1 mg/m (according to dust category L), it is possible
to vacuum directly into the container.
Note: When using a paper filter bag, the automatic filter
cleaning (AFC) (see "Deactivating the AFC", page 23) must,
and when using a fleece filter bag, should be shut off.
Do not fill the disposal bag 29 with more than 25 kg (max.).
The vacuum cleaner contains materials
WARNING
that are hazardous to one's health.
Have the emptying and maintenance, incl. the disposal of
dust-collection containers, carried out only by specialists.
Appropriate protective equipment is required. Do not op-
erate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter sys-
tem. Otherwise there is danger to your own health.
Inserting a Disposal Bag
– Unlock the latches 15 and remove the vacuum lid 13.
– Insert the disposal bag 29 into the container 1 with the fill-
ing opening toward the front.
– Pull the filling opening over the connection flange into the
recess of the connection flange.
– Make sure that the disposal bag 29 faces completely
against the interior sides of the container 1.
– Fold the rest of the disposal bag 29 over the edge of the
container 1.
– Reattach the vacuum lid 13 again and lock the latches 15.
Removing and Closing the Disposal Bag
– Unlock the latches 15 and remove the vacuum lid 13.
– Pull the full disposal bag 29 toward the rear off of the con-
nection flange.
– Carefully remove the disposal bag 29 out of the vacuum
cleaner without damaging it.
When doing this, pay attention that the disposal bag does
not get caught or ripped open against the connection
flange or other sharp objects.
– Pull the cover off of the adhesive strip, close the disposal
bag and tape it shut.
Afterwards, tie off the disposal bag 29 below the filling
opening with the pulled off cover of the adhesive strip.
