3.2 Auto-On/Off socket outlet for power tools
CAUTION
Appliance socket.
The appliance socket is designed for electrical
auxiliary equipment; see technical data for refer-
ence.
1. Prior to plugging in an appliance, always switch
off the machine and the appliance that is to be
connected.
2. Read the operating instructions to the appliance
to be connected and observe the safety notes
contained in these.
An appliance socket with earthing contact is inte-
grated in the machine. An external power tool can
be connected there. The socket features permanent
power on, when the electrical switch is in position
, i.e. the machine can be used as an extension
cord.
In position AUTO the machine can be switched on
and off by the power tool connected. Dirt is picked
up from the source of dust immediately. To comply
with regulations, only approved dust producing tools
should be connected.
The maximum power consumption of the connected
electrical appliance is stated in section “Specifica-
tions”.
Before turning the switch to position AUTO ensure
that the tool connected to the appliance socket is
switched off.
3.3 AutoClean
The machine is equipped with an automatic filter
cleaning system, AutoClean. A frequent cleaning cy-
cle will automatically run during operation to ensure
that suction performance is always at its best.
If suction performance decreases or in extensive
dust applications a manually filter cleaning operation
is recommended:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with
the palm of your hand.
3. Turn the switch to position „I“ and let the ma-
chine operate at full speed for approx. 10 sec-
onds with the suction hose opening closed.
If suction power is still reduced take out the filter and
clean mechanically or replace filter.
For certain applications, like wet pick up, it is recom-
mended to turn off the automatic filter cleaning sys-
tem. For details see chapter 3.1.
3.4 Flow rate warning
CAUTION
Check that all the filters are present and prop-
erly fitted.
The machine is equipped with a system to monitor
air velocity. Before picking up dust with occupational
exposure limit values, check the volume flow moni-
tor.
1. When the motor is running, hold the suction hose
shut to reduce the volume flow. The LED indica-
tor on front panel will light after approx. 1 second.
The acoustic warning sounds after some additional
seconds.
2. Set the diameter setting to the actual hose size.
When LED indicator lights, air velocity is
below 20 m/s.
1. Check if container or filter bag is full.
2. check if air flow is reduced in suction hose, tube/
nozzle, filter.
