6.1 Inserting a Fleece Filter Bag
We recommend using fleece filter bags for:
- Applications, where small amounts of fine dust are
created (e.g. spot-grinding and grinding of paint
and lacquer coatings, extraction of drilling
applications with small diameters < 10 mm of
short duration, etc.).
- Use of machines, such as: routers, planers, small
grinding machines, etc.
Switch off device on the mains switch (1), remove
battery packs (8), open snap locks (15) . Remove

part of the suction opening, then fit up to the stop on
the suction opening. Replace the upper part (14) on
the container (16) and close the snap locks (15).
6.2 Inserting a PE Disposal Bag
PE filter bags (11) are suitable for both wet and dry
vacuuming.
We recommend the use of PE-disposal bags for:
- Applications, where larger amounts of dust are
created (e.g. removal of plaster surfaces, spot-
grinding and grinding of screeds, etc.).
- Use of machines, such as e.g.: renovation milling
machines, renovation grinders, drywall grinders,
wall grinders etc.

7.2 Switching the vibrator on /off, vibrator
automatic
The vibrator cleans the filter cassettes by shaking
off dust.
Switching off: Turn vibrator switch (2) in “OFF”
position.
Automatic: Turn vibrator switch (2) to the LEFT in
“AUTO” position.
- If the air flow rate prescribed for a class M vacuum
cleaner is too low, the volume flow control display
(6) lights up and there is an acoustic signal. During
the next work break, the vibrator cleans the filter
cassettes automatically for about 10 sec.
Manual (e.g. when the suction power decreases):
During a work break or before starting work, turn the
vibrator switch (2) to the RIGHT in “MAN” position
and release again. The vibrator cleans the filter
cassettes for about 10 sec.
7.3 Volume flow control display
If the air flow rate is too low, the volume flow control
display (6) lights up and there is an acoustic signal.
Possible causes:
- Filter cassettes dirty -> Turn vibrato switch (2) in
“MAN” or “AUTO” position. (If needed, wash filter
cassettes (22) or replace, see chapter 10.2)
- Container full-> empty container
- Blockages in the suction hose-> clean
- The diameter of the suction ducts of the extracting
machine is too small.
7.4 Rotary switch for selecting the suction hose
diameter
Adjust the rotary switch (5) to the hose diameter of
the suction hose fitted (suction hose supplied: 35
mm).
The volume flow is being monitored if the main
switch (1) is in the "AUTO" or "MAN" position.
If the volume flow value falls below a certain limit,
the volume flow control display (6) lights up. The
filter cassettes are automatically shaken during the
work breaks if the vibrator switch (2) is in “AUTO”
position.
If the volume flow rate value still remains too low, the
volume flow control display (6) lights up and with
vibrator switch (2) in “AUTO” position, there will be
an additional acoustic signal (1 sec. on, 1 sec. off)
to signal that the container must be emptied, or that
the fleece filter bag (12) or the PE disposal bag (11)
must be changed.
Note: If the suction hose diameter is 19 mm or less,
and if the flow conditions in the suction hose are
unfavourable, the volume flow control display (6)
may occasionally light up and the acoustic signal
may sound, even though the fleece filter bag or the
PE disposal bag does not yet need to be emptied. In
this case, lay out the hose straight and clean it.
Note: If you need to turn the rotary switch to a lower
value because of a machine generating dust (e.g.
small diameter of suction canal in the machine
generating dust, compared to large suction hose
diameter) (5), there is no guarantee that dust will be
conveyed adequately in the suction hose. The
suction hose must be removed from the machine
generating dust after every operating sequence, so
it can be vacuumed clear.
Note: The suction hose included in the scope of
delivery has a diameter of 35 mm.
8.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, device and accessories
only. If the cartridge is damp, dust may stick and
form a crust.
Always use fleece filter bag (12) or PE disposal bag
(11) together with pleated filter (22).

You can use PE disposal bags (11). The filter
cartridges (22) are suitable for wet vacuuming.
Before carrying out any wet vacuuming, remove the
dry vacuumed material. This process will prevent
severe soiling and encrustation.
The integrated water sensor switches off the motor
when the container is full. Empty the device. If the
device is not switched off, the restart protection
device remains effective. The device is not
operable again until it has been switched off and
switched back on again.
After switching off, some water may run back out of
the hose.
Before emptying, first of all take the suction hose out
of the liquid.
If you are then going to dry vacuum, insert a dry filter
cassette. (If you are frequently switching between
dry and wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of
a second set of filter cassettes.) Allow the filter
cassettes, container and accessories to dry:
otherwise dust may adhere to damp components.
8.3 Use as industrial vacuum cleaner (IS):
Turn main switch (1) to the RIGHT (position “MAN”).
Adjust the rotary switch (5) to the hose diameter of
