8 Operation
D NGER!
Danger to life from electric shock!
There is a danger to life in case of contact with live
components. Switched-on electrical components can
perform uncontrolled movements and lead to serious
injuries.
- Disconnect the mains plug or remove the battery be-
fore starting any settings on the dry vacuum cle-
aner.
D NGER!
The unit must be correctly mounted before use. It
must also be checked that the filter elements are cor-
rectly mounted and efficient.
The unit should only be operated, mounted, repaired
and transported on solid, level ground.
Make sure that the electrical data indicated on the
motor block correspond to those of the mains to
which the dry vacuum cleaner is to be connected and
that the mains plug of the dry vacuum cleaner
matches the socket outlet.
D NGER!
Always disconnect the power plug from the socket
before handling the switched-off vacuum cleaner.
Always check the supply cable for damage such as
cracks or signs of age. Replace the cord if neces-
sary before further use.
Replacement of a defective power cord must be per-
formed by technical service or qualified personnel.
When using an extension cable, make sure that it
has the same cable dimension as the power supply
cable of the vacuum cleaner and avoid contact of the
cables with liquids or conductive surfaces.
W RNING!
Before commissioning the device, make sure that the
voltage specified on the type plate corresponds to
the mains voltage.

Operation
dryCAT-Series | Version 1.02 11
8.1 Start and Stop
Start
- Unwind the cable and insert the plug into a mains
socket.
- Press the on/off button.
Fig. 10: On - Off Switch
Stop
- Switch off the device and disconnect the plug.
- When pulling out the plug, always touch the plug,
not the cable.
8.2 Operating instructions
8.2.1 Suction and blowing function
The dry vacuum cleaner has 2 connections to which the
suction hose can be connected.
Suction function: Insert the hose into the suction
connection (Fig.11, Pos A).
Blower function: Insert the hose into the suction
connection (Fig.11, Pos.B).
Fig. 11: Suction and blowing function
8.2.2 Air regulation
The air flow can be adjusted or regulated at the end of
the hose by turning the air flow regulator.
Fig. 12: Air regulation
8.2.3 Filter cleaning system
The dry vacuum cleaner is equipped with a semi-auto-
matic filter cleaning system that can clean the filter from
dust and restore the suction power.
Step 1: Switch on the device.
Step 2: Insert the suction hose into the opening (Fig.13, Pos.
B).
Step 3: Press the filter cleaning button 3 times to clean the fil-
ter.
Fig. 13: Filter cleaning system
8.3 Seal inspection
Over time it is possible that the seals partially lose their
function. We recommend checking the locking hooks,
the flexible suction hoses and the seals for proper func-
tion at regular intervals.
Also check that the edges of the container are not dama-
ged.

Care, maintenance and repair
9 Care, maintenance and repair
9.1 Care by cleaning
The dry vacuum cleaner must always be kept in a clean
condition.
The motor ventilation slots must be kept clean to ensure
adequate cooling.
9.2 Maintenance and repair
Daily maintenance and control
- Make sure that the vacuum cleaner's power cord is
not damaged.
- Check that the filter unit is not damaged.
- Check the level of the container tank.
- Check that the suction hose and other accessories
are not damaged.
- Check the seal when you close the hooks on the
cover.
9.3 Replacing the filter
The filter will wear out over time and need to be replaced
with a new one, or it may become severely clogged/dirty
and need to be cleaned manually as the semi-automatic
filter cleaning is not sufficient to clean the filter.
Step 1: Switch off the device and disconnect the power plug.
Step 2: Open the locking hook and remove the upper part of
the housing.
Step 3: Loosen screw A (Fig.14) and remove filter B (Fig.14).
Fig. 14: Remove filter
Step 4: Assemble the new or cleaned filter in reverse order.
Be careful not to overtighten the screws.
9.3.1 Cleaning the filter
Once the filter is very dirty, clean it under cold water and
let it dry completely before reinserting it.
Fig. 15: Clean the filter
D NGER!
Danger of potentially fatal electric
shock!
There is a risk of fatal injury from contact with live
parts. Electrical components which are switched on
can carry out uncontrolled movements and cause
serious injuries.
- Disconnect the mains plug before starting cleaning
and maintenance work.
Protective gloves
For cleaning, wear suitable protective gloves to pro-
tect against injury.
D NGER!
The user must perform a technical check at least
once a year. This includes checking the filters for
insufficient airtightness and for the correct functioning
of the operating mechanism.
D NGER!
Maintenance and repairs must always be carried out
by qualified personnel; any damaged parts must only
be replaced with original spare parts.
D NGER!
During maintenance by the user, the device must be
disassembled, cleaned and checked without endan-
gering maintenance personnel or other people.

Disposal, recycling of used devices
dryCAT-Series | Version 1.02 13
10 Disposal, recycling of used devices
Please take care in your own interest and in the interest
of the environment that all component parts of the ma-
chine are only disposed of in the intended and permitted
