4. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
– This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
– This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and ground plug.
– The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
– Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
– Check with a quali ed electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
– Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
– If it will not  t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
quali ed electrician.
– This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and
has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Fig.A.
– A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated
in Fig.B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole re-
ceptacle as shown in Fig.B, if a properly grounded outlet is
not available.
– The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (Fig.A) is installed by a quali ed electrician.
– The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
– Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by
a metal screw.

6. OPERATION
6.1 Before each start-up
Before each start-up, make sure that the vacuum cleaner,
power cord, vacuum hose and accessories are not damaged.
It must also be ensured that the lter is inserted and not dam-
aged.
mMake sure that plugged-in power tools are not switched on.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner is live when the mains
plug is plugged in, regardless of the switch position.
6.2 Permanent lter cleaning
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with electromagnetic valves
that clean the lter by air back ushing. Each cleaning cycle
cleans the two chambers of the lter 2 times each. Cleaning
takes place automatically every 45 seconds after the last clean-
ing cycle.
If continuous cleaning is not necessary due to a low level of dust,
you can switch it off by deactivating the cleaning function (2).
Cleaning is active when the indicator light (2) on the control
panel lights up.
When working overhead with for example long-neck grinders,
make sure that the vacuuming is briey reduced by the vacu-
um cleaner during the cleaning interval. This can cause the
tool to fall off the ceiling. Cleaning can be switched off for small
amounts of dust.
6.3 Insert eece lter bag
1. Unlock the locking tabs and remove the motor head
2. Attach the eece lter bag.
3. Put on the motor head and lock it with the locking tabs.
6.4 Insert Waste Bag
1. Unlock the locking tabs and remove the motor head
2. Attach the Waste Bag and put it over the edge of the con-
tainer. Note that the holes provided above the ange must be
placed over the electrodes of the water cut-off.
3. Spread the Waste Bag against the inside of the container in
order to lose as little volume as possible.
4. Put on the motor head and lock it with the locking tabs.
6.5 Switching on the vacuum cleaner
The device allows 2 operating modes.
- Standard mode (5): Vacuum cleaner switches on immediately
- Automatic mode (6): The vacuum cleaner is in standby
mode for power tools and only switches on when a power
tool plugged into the socket (7) is switched on and switches
off again 5 seconds after the power tool is switched off.
The power of the vacuum cleaner can be adjusted continuous-
ly from 100% to 50% in both operating modes.
Plug in the mains plug of the device. Set the rotary switch of
the device to one of the two operating modes.
6.6 Dry vacuuming
See Fig. 3-11.
Before vacuuming, make sure that the lter, the vacuum clean-
er and the vacuum cleaner accessories used are dry to prevent
dust from sticking and becoming encrusted.
