NOTICE: 

• 

When moving the cleaner, make sure that the 
caster is unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the 
caster in the locked position may cause damage to 
the caster. 

Cap 

There is a cap on the mounting port. The cap prevents 
the vacuumed dust from getting out from the cleaner. 

ASSEMBLY 

 

WARNING: 

• 

This unit may contain hazardous dust. When 
replacing filter elements and dust bag, always use 
a P2-respirator. 

• 

Always be sure that the cleaner is switched off and 
unplugged before carrying out any work on the 
cleaner. 

• 

Never switch on until all filters and dust bag are 
completely installed and the volume flow control is 
tested. 

Installing and disposing the filter bag 

 

WARNING: 

• 

Always use a P2-respirator. 

• 

When using the filter bag, also use the air filter 
together that is preinstalled on the tool. Failure to 
use the air filter together may cause unusual noise 
and heat, resulting in a fire. 

CAUTION: 

• 

Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts 
when using the filter bag. Picking up such things 
may cause the filter bag breakage.

Spread the bag around the top of the tank. 
Hook up the other side of the bag around the top of the 
tank so that the prefilter hook can catch and hold it 
securely. 

 

NOTE: 

• 

A polyethylene bag available on the market can be 
used. The 0.04 mm or thicker one is 
recommended. 

• 

Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not 
collect the dust more than the half of the bag 
capacity. 

Disposing the polyethylene bag 

 

WARNING: 

• 

Always make sure that the cleaner is switched off 
and unplugged before emptying the polyethylene
