8.4.2 When picking up liquids

G

If possible, use a separate filter element for picking
up liquids.

G

If foaming occurs, switch off the appliance immedi-
ately and empty the waste material container.

8.4.3 After picking up liquids

G

Empty the liquid out of the container. Clean the con-
tainer and filter to remove any dirt deposits.

G

Do not refit the top section of the vacuum cleaner
immediately. Allow the filter element and inside of the
container to dry.

8.5 Adjusting the suction force

Adjust the suction force by turning the control switch.
This permits the suction force to be adjusted precisely
for various cleaning jobs.

8.6 After use

1. Switch off the electric tool.
2. Turn the control switch on the appliance to the “0”

position.

3. Unplug the supply cord from the mains socket.
4. Coil up the supply cord and hang it over the supply

cord stowage hook.

5. Empty the container and clean the appliance.
6. Coil up the suction hose.
7. Store the appliance in a secure place in a dry room

where it cannot be used by unauthorized persons.

8.7 Emptying the waste material container

- NOTE -

After using the appliance to pick up dry dust, it is rec-
ommended that the filter is cleaned as described at sec-
tion 9.1 before emptying the waste material container.
This will increase the life of the filter significantly.

8.7.1 Before emptying the waste material

container, proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the supply cord form the mains socket.
2. Open the two latches.

3. Lift the top section off the waste material container

and place it on a level surface.

8.7.2 After emptying the waste material container,

proceed as follows:

1. Place the top section of the vacuum cleaner on the

waste material container and close the two latches.

2. Fit the suction hose to the hose socket.
3. Plug the supply cord into the mains socket.

8.8 Emptying the waste material container without

disposal bag (liquids)

1. Remove the suction hose from the hose socket.
2. Grip the waste material container with one hand under

its bottom edge and the other hand at its top edge.

3. Empty the waste material container by tipping it.

- NOTE -

The waste material must be disposed of in accordance
with the applicable regulations.
4. Clean the edge of the waste material container, the

hose socket and the hose connector.

8.9 Emptying the waste material container with

disposal bag (dry dust)

1. Release the disposal bag from the edge of the waste

material container.

2. Close the disposal bag with the cable tie provided

(attached to the outside of the bag).

3. Carefully release the disposal bag collar from the hose

socket.

4. Close the disposal bag collar with the slider provided.

- NOTE -

The waste material must be disposed of in accordance
with the applicable regulations.
5. Clean the waste material container.
6. Fit a new disposal bag in the waste material container.
7. Push the collar on the disposal bag firmly onto the

hose socket.

9. Care and maintenance

9.1 Cleaning the filter (complete cleaning)

The filter is cleaned automatically during operation. Nev-
ertheless, it is necessary to clean the filter manually
before each period of use and if it becomes very dirty
during use.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Cover the suction nozzle opening or the end of the

suction hose with the palm of the hand.

3. Switch on the appliance (switch position

“MAN”

) and

allow it to run for approx 10 seconds while the suc-
tion opening remains closed with the palm of the hand.

Water and a cloth can also be used to clean the filter (do
not use a high-pressure cleaning system).

Mineral dust may clog the filter if cleaning is neglected,
thus negatively affecting suction performance and reduc-
ing the life of the filter accordingly.

- NOTE -

Do not knock the filter against hard surfaces when clean-
ing it and do not use hard or pointed objects to assist
cleaning. This will reduce the life of the filter.

- NOTE -

The filter is a wearing part. It should be replaced at least
every six months or more frequently if the appliance is
subjected to heavy use.
