Assembly
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Note: For vacuuming, the permanent filter 11 always must be
inserted. In addition, the dust bag 14 must be used when dry
vacuuming.
Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (see figure A)
– Unlock the latches 4 and remove the vacuum lid 10.
– Pull off the full dust bag 14 from the connection flange to-
ward the rear. Close the opening of the dust bag by folding
down the lid. Remove the closed dust bag from the vacuum
cleaner.
– Slide the new dust bag 14 over the connection flange of the
vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the full length of the dust
bag 14 faces against the inner wall of the container 5. Re-
attach the vacuum lid 10.
– Lock the latches 4.
When using a dust bag 14, the permanent filter 11 remains
unclogged longer, the vacuuming performance is maintained
longer, and the disposal of dust is made easier.
Mounting the Vacuum Hose (see figure A)
Insert the vacuum hose 6 into the hose connection piece 8 un-
til it is locked.
Insert the extension tubes firmly into each other.
Insert the accessory holder 13 from above onto the holder of
the vacuum lid 10. Afterwards, insert the angle piece into the
accessory holder 13 from the bottom until it can be heard to
latch.
For disassembly of the accessory holder 13, press the ends of
the angle piece together and pull it out towards the bottom.
Remove the accessory holder 13 to the top.
Removing the Vacuum Hose (see figure A)
To remove the vacuum hose 6, press the unlocking button 7
to the left and pull out the vacuum hose 6 at the same time.

Operation

Starting Operation

 Observe the correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must agree with the voltage specified on
the nameplate of the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners
marked with 220–240 V can also be connected to
220 V
Switching On and Off (PAS 11-21/PAS 12-27)
To start the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off switch 9 to posi-
tion "I".
To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off switch 9 to
position "0".
Switching On and Off (PAS 12-27 F)
To start the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector switch 9
to position "I".
To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector
switch 9 to position "0".
When not using the vacuum cleaner, switch it off in order to
save energy.
Operation with remote automatic switching (see figure B)
(PAS 12-27 F)
A socket outlet with earthing contact 3 is integrated in the
vacuum cleaner, which allows for connection of an external
power tool. The vacuum cleaner is automatically put into op-
eration via the power tool. Observe the maximal allowable
load of the connected power tool.
Set the mode selector switch 9 to position "II".
For connecting power tools, various hose systems are availa-
ble as accessories.
To start the operation of the vac, switch on the power tool
connected to the socket 3. The vacuum cleaner starts auto-
matically.
To switch off the vac, switch off the power tool. The vacuum
cleaner switches off automatically approx. 6 seconds later.

Wet Vacuuming

 CAUTION! This appliance is not suitable for picking up
hazardous dust. Do not vacuum inflammable or explo-
sive fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents.
Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not operate the
machine in rooms where the danger of an explosion ex-
ists. The dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.
 The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Note: Before wet vacuuming, the dust bag 14 must be re-
moved and the container 5 must be emptied.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float 12. When the
maximum filling height is reached, the vacuum cleaner
switches off. Set the On/Off switch 9 to position "0" and emp-
ty the container 5.
