page 19).
– Is the filter (33) clogged with dust?
▷(see "Cleaning/replacing filters (see figures I1 – I2 )",
page 19).

▷(see "Charging the battery", page 17).
Regularly emptying the container (1) and cleaning the
filter (33) will ensure optimum suction power.
If suction power is not achieved after that, the dust extractor
should be sent to the after-sales service.
