recess of the connection flange.
– Make sure that the disposal bag 25 faces completely
against the interior sides of the container 1.
– Fold the rest of the disposal bag 25 over the edge of the
container 1.
– Reattach the vacuum lid 12 again and lock the latches 13.

– Pull the full disposal bag 25 toward the rear off of the con-
nection flange.
– Carefully remove the disposal bag 25 out of the vacuum
cleaner without damaging it.
When doing this, pay attention that the disposal bag does
not get caught or ripped open against the connection
flange or other sharp objects.

pletely against the interior sides of the container 1 over its
full length.
– Reattach the vacuum lid 12 again and lock the latches 13.

1 609 92A 2N3 | (12.12.16)
Note: The structured side of the rubber lips must face out-
ward.
Attaching an L-Boxx (see figure F)
For transport of the vacuum cleaner and for place-saving stor-
age of VAC accessories and/or power tools, an L-Boxx can be
mounted on the vacuum cleaner lid.
– Mount the L-Boxx onto the retainers 11.
 Do not carry the vacuum cleaner by the carrying handle
of the mounted L-Boxx. The vacuum cleaner is too heavy
for the carrying handle of the L-Boxx. Danger of injury and
causing damage.
Operation
Starting Operation
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the vacuum cleaner. Equipment marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
 Please inform yourself about the valid regula-
tions/laws for your country concerning the handling of
materials that are hazardous to one's health.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable for vacuuming and extracting
the following materials:
– Dusts with an exposition limit value ≥ 0.1 mg/m
The vacuum cleaner may generally not be used in rooms
where the danger of an explosion exists.
To save energy, only switch the vacuum cleaner on when us-
ing it.
To ensure optimal vacuuming performance, always complete-
ly unwind the vacuum hose 24 from the vacuum cleaner lid
12.
Dry Vacuuming
Vacuuming of deposited dusts
– Set the airflow regulator 6 to the hose diameter being
used.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner on, set the mode
selector switch 7 to the "vacuuming" symbol.
– To switch the vacuum cleaner off, set the mode
selector switch 7 to the "Off" symbol.
The vacuum cleaner is fitted with airflow monitoring. In the
"vacuuming" mode, the airflow monitoring is fixed on a value of
20 m/s, irrespective of the setting of the airflow regulator 6.
If the value falls below this, e.g. due to accumulated dirt in the
suction hose, a full dust bag or a clogged flat-fold filter, an audi-
ble alarm signal will sound.In this case, switch off the vacuum
cleaner and check it as stated in the section "Correction of Mal-
functions".
