Suction holds the drill dust nozzle in the
required position. Depending on the surface
of the wall to be drilled it may be necessary to
readjust the power to a higher setting to
ensure the drill dust nozzle is firmly attached.
Any fine particles are automatically vacuumed
up.
!
Caution: The drill dust nozzle should only
be used in conjunction with the dust
collector since fine drill dust can impair the
function of the dust bag.

You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner
which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt using
the dust collector or dust bag.
We recommend that you use:
- the dust collector, in particular for your
hobbies, e.g. to remove wood shavings, etc.
- the dust bag principally for everyday
household cleaning.

Using the dust collector

17
Figure
Set the power setting to maximum for the
best results when vacuuming.
We recommend that you reduce the setting
only when vacuuming very delicate materials.
Emptying the dust collector
To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming,
the dust collector should be emptied each time
the vacuum cleaner is used.
18
Figure
Open the vacuum cleaner lid by moving the
locking lever in the direction of the arrow.

Open the base and empty the dust collector
by pressing the lid lock in the direction of the
arrow.
If the base is very dirty (thick dirt), clean this
first, e.g. by vacuuming it with the crevice
nozzle.
(You must fit the dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner when you do this - see Figure 29)
Close the base.
21
Figure
Refit the dust collector to the vacuum cleaner,
push in the carrying handle and close the lid.
!
Caution: The inside of the dirt collector
may become scratched with use and start
to look opaque. This does not, however,
affect the performance of the vacuum
cleaner in any way, i.e. it will continue to
function as normal.
Cleaning the permanent filters and
microfilters
The filters must be cleaned:
After any operating malfunctions, i.e. after a
blockage is cleared.
At least every six months.
22
Figure

Remove the microfilter and permanent filter
and wash them by hand.
!
Caution: After they have been washed by
hand, the permanent filter and the white
fleece filter should be allowed to dry for
approximately 24 hours before being used
again.
Blockages
