you also fit the dirt bag. This will ensure that the
pleated filter (15) does not fill up so quickly and
therefore help the vacuuming power last longer. In
addition, it makes it easier to dispose of the dust. Slip
the dirt bag over the vacuuming hole. The dirt bag is
suitable for dry-vacuuming only.
