Assembly and Preparation
▼ DRY VACUUMINg NOTES:
•
When
dry-vacuuming
such
materials as fine dust from drywall,
plaster, cement, soot, and flour, a
dust bag should be inserted. This
dust extractor includes a 3-layer
paper filter bag, which is very
durable and traps dust before it
gets to the filter, and allows the
least amount of dust to escape at
the time of bag disposal.
•
Using a filter dust bag extends the
amount of time the unit operates at
high performance and extends the
amount of time it takes for the filter
to become clogged.
•
Fully enclosed Bosch filter bags
provide the best option for
reducing
exposure
to
dust
(especially silica) when it is time to
remove the dust extractor control
unit for bag removal/disposal. The
use of other Bosch bags should be
based on the application being
performed. For example: plastic
bags can be used for general
jobsite clean up and wet filter bags
can be used for slurry.
▼ WET VACUUMINg NOTES:
•
The wet/dry slurry bags can be
used
when
vacuuming
wet
materials. They are ideally suited
for slurry-suction applications.
•
The paper bags should not be used
when wet vacuuming because the
water will cause the bag to come
apart.
•
The plastic bags should not be
used when wet vacuuming because
the bag may tear when removed if
it is fully loaded with liquid.
•
See WET VACUUMING section for
more information.
▶ Installing A Dust Bag
A.
Unlock the canister latches
4
and
remove the control unit
1
(fig 2).
B.
Make sure to install a bag that is
suitable for the application and has
the proper size for canister.
C.
For fully enclosed bags:
Grasp a
new dust bag
27
at the flange. Push
it over the internal dust port
2
first
and then over the raised ring. Make
sure the entire flange is seated in the
recessed area of the internal dust
port. Make sure that the dust bag is
not folded over on itself and the full
length of the bag faces the front and
bottom of the canister (Fig. 3a).
For plastic bags only:
After the
plastic bag
31
has been attached to
the internal dust port
2
, wrap the
upper edges of the plastic bag over
the entire perimeter of the rim at the
top of the canister. Make sure that
the plastic bag does not interfere
with the canister latches (Fig. 3b).
D.
Re-attach the control unit
1
and
lock the canister latches
4
(Fig. 2).
▶ Removing The Dust Bag
Regardless of the
b a g u s e d , s p e c i a l
caution is needed when removing
bags filled with debris in order to
reduce exposure to airborne dust
(especially silica dust from concrete
applications).
