compartments (1.6, not with CTL 22).
- A hose coupling (1.10) (487072) can be
plugged into the opening (1.7). The suc-
tion hose is connected to the tool from
above with the hose coupling. Alterna-
tively, a hose clip (452998) can be fi tted
for coiling the suction hose.
- The push handle (2.11) (452921; supplied
ready with CTL 44 and CTL 55) makes the
vacuum cleaner easier to move. Acces-
sories (e.g. vacuum accessories) can be
fi xed to the push handle batten (2.9).
- An air blast is obtained by inserting a
suction hose in the blast opening (2.7).
5.1
Vacuuming dry materials
A
fi lter bag must be used without
exception when evacuating noxious
substances!
Before using the vacuum cleaner to eva-
cuate dry substances, a fi lter bag must
always be inserted in the container. Then
the evacuated material can be disposed of
easily. The fi lter element becomes damp
after evacuating liquids. A damp fi lter ele-
ment suffers more wear and tear if it is used
for dry materials. Accordingly, the fi lter
element should be dried or replaced with a
dry one before dry operation.
5.2 Vacuuming
liquids
Do not evacuate combustible liquids!
If foam or liquid escapes, stop work
immediately and empty the dirt con-
tainer.
The fi lter bag has to be removed before
evacuating liquids. We recommend use of a
special wet fi lter. When the maximum fi lling
level is reached, a bag-full indicator (2.12)
automatically interrupts extraction.
6 After
fi nishing work
- Switch off the cleaner and pull the Plug of
the mains lead out of the Plug socket.
- Wind up the mains lead (2.6).
- Empty dirt tank.
- Clean the vacuum cleaner inside and out-
side by suction and wiping.
- Deposit the appliance in a dry room, safe
from unauthorised use.
7 Maintenance
and
care
Always remove the power supply
plug from the socket before carrying
out any work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work
which requires the motor casing to
be opened may only be carried out
by an authorised service centre.
A safety test is to be carried out at least
once a year by the manufacturer or an in-
structed person, e.g. for possible damage
to the fi lter and leaks in the appliance,
and to ensure that the control devices are
functioning.
If the user services the appliance, it must be
dismantled, cleaned and serviced, as far as
possible without any danger to the mainte-
nance staff and other persons. Appropriate
measures include decontamination before
dismantling, locally fi ltered forced ventila-
tion on the dismantling site, cleaning the
service area, and suitable personal safety
equipment.
