4. Fields of application

For wet and dry vacuum cleaning. Not suitable for vacuuming health hazardous dusts. The vacuum cleaner with socket
and ON/OFF automatic switching system is intended for the connection of electric tools.

5. Setting into operation

When unpacking, check that the appliance is complete and that there is no transport damage.

5.1. Electrical equipment

The appliance is switched ON/OFF with the switch 2a (see fig. 1 on the top section 1 of the appliance),
or switch to automatic or vibration mode.
O = Suction >OFF<
I = Suction >ON< (manual operation)
A = Ready for ON/OFF automatic switching system (the vacuum cleaner is switched on and off by
the connected electric tool).
AR = Appliance version featuring "AR" can be operated as described under "A" except that automatic
filter cleaning is turned on when the volume flow display lights up.
The power socket 2b is intended for the connection of an electric tool.
WARNING! An electric tool must be switched off when it is connected. The socket is always live when the
plug is inserted in a mains socket, irrespective of the switch position. In the "0" switch setting, the socket
can be used for an extension line (e.g. for a light). Connected load: Suction unit and appliance max. 16 A
Appliances with an electronic suction force control feature a rotary knob 2d with which the suction force can be adapted
to the object that is being cleaned.
The vibrating device should be activated at the latest when the volume flow display 2c (warning light) lights up or
when the suction power decreases.
The suction openings of electric tools are not standard. Consequently, an adapter (rubber nozzle) 65 15 76 is available
that can be shortened to fit the given electric tool. With electric tools that have a very small suction opening the volu-
me flow display 2c may remain per-manently illuminated during operation because the volume flow is small. However,
bypass motor cooling ensures that no problems can arise when operating continuously under these conditions. Such
appliances should be operated in the "A" switch setting and not "AR".

6. Vacuum cleaning

The suction force of appliances with a handle tube can be matched to the object being cleaned with the secondary air
slide.

6.1. Dry vacuum cleaning

Dry vacuum cleaning must only be performed with a dry filter, appliance and accessories so that the dust cannot adhere
and become encrusted. If the appliance is used to vacuum soot, cement, gypsum, flour and similar dusts, it is advisable
to use a fleece filter bag. A fleece filter bag must always be used in conjunction with a filter cartridge.

6.2. Wet vacuum cleaning

Vacuum cleaning is performed without a fleece filter bag. The filter cassettes are suitable for wet cleaning. The built-in
sensor turns off the motor when the container is full. Empty the container in the manner described in 6.4. The restart
lockout remains effective if the appliance is not switched off. The appliance is only operational again after it has been
switched off and switched on again.
- Always lift the suction hose out of the liquid before emptying.
- Due to the high suction force and flow-promoting container shape, some water may flow out of the hose
when the appliance is switched off.
- Use a dry filter for subsequent dry vacuum cleaning. Use a second (exchangeable) filter when frequently
alternating between dry and wet vacuum cleaning.

6.3. Filter cleaning

Appliances fitted with an electromagnetic cleaning system can shake off the dust that is adhering to the filter cassette
2. This guarantees optimal use of the filter cassettes and lengthens their working cycles. The vibrating device should
be activated (switch position V) at the latest when the volume flow display 2c (warning light) lights up or when the suc-
tion power decreases.
