5. Setting into operation
When unpacking, check that the appliance is complete and
that there is no transport damage.

5.1 Electrical equipment

The appliance is switched ON/OFF with the switch 2a (see
fig. 1 on the top section 1 of the appliance), or switch to
automatic or vibration mode.
O = Suction >OFF<
I = Suction >ON< (manual operation)
A = Ready for ON/OFF automatic switching system
(the vacuum cleaner is switched on and off by
the connected electric tool).
R = Filter cleaning function; in this setting the
vibrator will operate for 7 seconds after which
it will be automatically turned off.
AR = Appliance version featuring "AR" can be
operated as described under "A" except that
automatic filter cleaning (as described under
"R") is turned on when the volume flow display
lights up.
The power socket 2b is intended for the connection of an
electric tool.
WARNING! An electric tool must be switched off when
it is connected. The socket is always live when the plug is
inserted in a mains socket, irrespective of the switch posi-
tion. In the "0" switch setting, the socket can be used for
an extension line (e.g. for a light).
Connected load: Suction unit and appliance max. 16 A
Appliances with an electronic suction force control feature
a rotary knob 2d with which the suction force can be adapted
to the object that is being cleaned.
The vibrating device should be activated (switch position R)
at the latest when the volume flow display 2c (warning light)
lights up or when the suction power decreases.
The suction openings of electric tools are not
standard. Consequently, an adapter (rubber nozzle) 582627
is available that can be shortened to fit the given electric
tool. With electric tools that have a very small suction
opening the volume flow display 2c may remain per-manently
illuminated during operation because the volume flow is
small. However, bypass motor cooling ensures that no
problems can arise when operating continuously under these
conditions. Such appliances should be operated in the "A"
switch setting and not "AR".
6. Vacuum cleaning
The suction force of appliances with a handle tube can be
matched to the object being cleaned with the secondary air
slide.

6.1 Dry vacuum cleaning

Dry vacuum cleaning must only be performed with a dry
filter, appliance and accessories so that the dust cannot
adhere and become encrusted. If the appliance is used to
vacuum soot, cement, gypsum, flour and similar dusts, it is
advisable to use a paper filter bag.
A paper filter bag must always be used in conjunction with a
filter cartridge.

6.2 Wet vacuum cleaning

Vacuum cleaning is performed without a paper filter bag.
The filter cassettes are suitable for wet cleaning. The built-
in sensor turns off the motor when the container is full.
Empty the container in the manner described in 6.4. The
restart lockout remains effective if the appliance is not
switched off. The appliance is only operational again after it
has been switched off and switched on again.
- Always lift the suction hose out of the liquid before
emptying.
- Due to the high suction force and flow-promoting
container shape, some water may flow out of the hose
when the appliance is switched off.
- Use a dry filter for subsequent dry vacuum cleaning.
Use a second (exchangeable) filter when frequently
alternating between dry and wet vacuum cleaning.

6.3 Filter cleaning

Appliances fitted with an electromagnetic cleaning system
can shake off the dust that is adhering to the filter cassette
2. This guarantees optimal use of the filter cassettes and
lengthens their working cycles.
The vibrating device should be activated (switch position V)
at the latest when the volume flow display 2c (warning light)
lights up or when the suction power decreases.

6.4 Emptying the container

Turn off 2a, disconnect the plug 6, and open the lock-in
closure 9. Remove the top section 1 and hose from the
container 7. Empty the container or remove the paper filter
bag 14 from the suction opening.
6.5 Paper filter bag
Hold of the paper filter bag 14 by the flange and push
vertically from above into the guide of the suction opening 8
until the stop point is reached.
Bags increase the dust-retaining capacity and ensure
hygienic disposal. Paper filter bags must only be used for
dry vacuum cleaning.
