6. Initial Operation

Before plugging in the device, check that
the rated mains voltage and mains
frequency, as specified on the rating label,
match your power supply.
Australia: Always use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

housing as far as the limit stop and secure by
twisting the bayonet fitting (12).
6.3 Inserting a Fleece Filter Bag
Fleece filter bags (13) are not suitable for wet vacu-
uming.
We recommend using fleece filter bags for:
- Applications, where small amounts of fine dust are
created (e.g. spot-grinding and grinding of paint
and lacquer coatings, extraction of drilling
applications with small diameters < 10 mm of
short duration, etc.).
- Use of machines, such as: routers, planers, small
grinding machines, etc.
Switch off the device, remove the mains plug and
open the snap locks (3). Remove the upper part (1)
of the device from the container (4).
Push the fleece filter bag together with its cardboard
tab into the filter bag holder located on the suction
piece (inside the container)
Adjust the fleece filter bag (13) so that it is flush with
the container wall and is not damaged when you
replace the upper part.
