needs cleaning.*

If your work is with “normal” dirt, you may not
need a filter cleaning system... But if you are
working with fine dust, you are surely familiar
with the dreaded task of cleaning clogged filter
cartridges to restore normal suction perfor-
mance.
With Push&Clean, all you have to do to clean
the filter is to cover the fitting or the hose and
press the button. Powerful air pulses will clean
the filter gently, and you are back to work in
no time.
The Push&Clean system:
• Keepssuctionperformanceconstantlyhigh
• Extendsthelifeofthefilterandreduces
your costs
• Savesyouworkingtime
• Improvesthereliabilityofthemachine
Push&Clean filter cleaning technology
The Push&Clean technology allows a fast and
simple cleaning of the filter cartridge. When you
block the fitting for the air inlet or the hose and
push the filter cleaning button, the surrounding
air enters into the container, passing through
the filter cartridge in the opposite direction.
The dirt is blasted off the filter and the suction
performance is high again. A comfortable and
powerful but gentle way of cleaning the filter.

system: Extremely efficient and completely
automatic, saving you time and money.

filter is immediately cleaned automatically,
and every 30 seconds while you work. So
there is no need to interrupt your work to
clean the filter. You concentrate on your
task, and XtremeClean will take care of the
filter.

XtremeClean filter cleaning technology
Advanced technology delivers automatic filter
cleaning while you work with full vacuum
performance. The XtremeClean technology is based
on a valve controlled solution, using reversed air
flow to clean the one half of the filter cartridge
- while you still work with the other half of the filter
cartridge. The valve allows the surrounding air to
enter into the container, passing through the filter
in the opposite direction. The dirt is blasted off the
filter and the suction performance is restored.
