Bosch Power Tools
Operation with remote automatic switching (see figure B)
A socket outlet with earthing contact
5
is integrated in the
vacuum cleaner, which allows for connection of an external
power tool. The vacuum cleaner is automatically put into op-
eration via the power tool. Observe the maximal allowable
load of the connected power tool.
– Set the mode selector switch
4
to the
operation with re-
mote automatic switching
symbol.
For connecting power tools, various hose systems are availa-
ble as accessories.
– To
start the operation
of the vac, switch on the power tool
connected to the socket
5
. The vacuum cleaner starts au-
tomatically.
– To
switch off
the vac, switch off the power tool. The vacu-
um cleaner switches off automatically approx. 6 seconds
later.
Electromagnetic filter cleaning (SFC)
The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic filter clean-
ing system, which removes dust adhering to the folded filter
12
.
The filter cleaning system must be actuated at the latest when
the vacuuming performance is no longer sufficient.
– Set the mode selector switch
4
to the symbol
electromag-
netic filter cleaning
. A possibly connected power tool
must be switched off.
The machine vibrates for approx. 10 seconds and switches
off automatically.
– Wait shortly before restarting the vacuuming operation so
that the dust can settle in the container.
The filter cleaning frequency depends on the type and amount
of dust. With regular usage, the maximum vacuuming perfor-
mance is maintained longer.
Wet Vacuuming
Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for ex-
ample, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum
hot or burning dust. Do not operate the machine in
rooms where the danger of an explosion exists.
The
dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.
The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Note:
The requirements for the ingress degree (dust
category L) have only been proven for dry vacuuming.
Before wet vacuuming, the dust bag
11
must be removed and
the container
9
must be emptied.
– The machine is equipped with level sensors
14
. The vac
switches off when the maximum filling height is reached.
Set the mode selector switch
4
to
off
.
– After vacuuming, remove the folded filter
12
in order to
avoid mildew, and allow it to dry thoroughly, or remove the
vacuum lid
3
and allow it to dry.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum
cleaner and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
A dust-technical inspection is to be carried out at least once
every year by the manufacturer or an instructed person, e. g.
for damage of the filter, tightness against leakage of the vacu-
um cleaner and function of the control/monitoring unit.
For category
L
vacuum cleaners that were in contaminated
environments, the exterior as well as all machine parts should
be cleaned or treated with sealants. When performing mainte-
nance and repair work, all contaminated components that
cannot be cleaned to satisfactory must be disposed of. Such
components must be disposed of in impermeable plastic bags
conforming with the valid regulations for the disposal of such
waste.
For maintenance on behalf of the user, the vacuum cleaner
must be disassembled, cleaned and maintained as far as fea-
sible, without causing a risk for the maintenance personnel or
other persons. Prior to disassembly, the vacuum cleaner
should be cleaned in order to prevent any risks. The room/en-
closure in which the vacuum cleaner is disassembled should
be well ventilated. Wear personal protective equipment dur-
ing maintenance. After the maintenance, the maintenance ar-
ea should be cleaned.
Removing/Replacing the Folded Filter (see figure C)
Replace a damaged pleated filter
12
immediately.
– With a coin or similar, rotate the lock
6
by 1/4 turn in the
direction of the arrow and push the lock in.
– Fold up the vacuum lid
3
and hold it. Grasp the folded filter
12
by the fins, pull up and remove.
– Clean the folded filter
12
.
– Insert new or cleaned folded filter
12
and ensure firm seat-
ing.
– Fold the vacuum lid
3
down again. With slight pressure
from above on the cover, the lock
6
will snap back again.
Container
– Wipe out the container
9
from time to time with a commer-
cially available, non-scouring cleaning agent and allow to dry.
Motor Protection Filter (see figure C)
– The motor protection filter
13
is basically maintenance-
free. Take out the motor protection filter from time to time
and flush it with clear water. Allow the motor protection fil-
ter to dry thoroughly before reinserting.
Level Sensors (see figure D)
Clean the level sensors
14
occasionally.
– Unlock the latches
10
and remove the vacuum lid
3
.
– Clean the level sensors
14
with a soft cloth.
– Reattach the vacuum lid
3
again and lock the latches
