Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (Accessory)

– Unlock the latches 

15

 and remove the vacuum lid 

13

.

– Pull off the full dust bag  from the connection flange toward 

the rear. Close the opening of the dust bag by folding down 
the lid. Remove the closed dust bag from the vacuum 
cleaner.

– Work the new dust bag over the connection flange of the 

vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the dust bag faces com-
pletely against the interior sides of the container 

1 

over its 

full length.

– Reattach the vacuum lid 

13

 again and lock the latches 

15

.

Inserting the Rubber Lip  (Wet Vacuuming) 
(see figure E)

Note: 

The requirements for the ingress degree (dust category 

M) have only been proven for dry vacuuming.

– Carefully pry the brush inserts 

33

 out of the floor nozzle 

34

using a suitable tool.

– Insert the rubber lips 

32

 into the floor nozzle 

34

.

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 vacuum with an L-Boxx mounted. 

The centre of 

gravity of the vacuum cleaner shifts upward. The vacuum 
cleaner can tip over. Danger of injury and causing damage.



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

3

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 

27

 from the vacuum cleaner lid 

13

.

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 au-
dible alarm signal will sound.In this case, switch off the vacu-
um cleaner and check it as stated in the section “Correction of 
Malfunctions”.

Extraction of dusts resulting from running power tools 
(see figure G)



An adequate ventilation rate (L) must be provided for 
when the outgoing air is circulated. Observe the re-
spective national regulations.

A socket outlet with earthing contact 

5

 is integrated in the 

vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be connected 
there. Observe the maximal allowable load of the connected 
power tool.

To ensure sufficient dust transport at the vacuum location, 
the minimum airflow for the power tool connected must not 
be fallen below.

– Set the airflow regulator 

6

 to the hose diameter being 

used.

– Mount the tool sleeve 

25

 (see “Mounting the Tool Sleeve”, 

page 21).

– Insert the tool sleeve 

25

 into the vacuum connection of the 

power tool.

– To start the vacuum cleaner’s 

automatic 

Start/Stop feature

, set the mode selector 

switch 

7

 to the “Automatic Start/Stop” sym-

bol.
In this operating mode, the airflow is electronically moni-
tored according to the setting of the airflow regulator 

6

. 

Sufficient dust transport is ensured when the setting is 
correctly selected.

– To 

start the operation

 of the vac, switch on the power tool 

connected to the socket 

5

. The vacuum cleaner starts au-

tomatically.

– Switch the power tool off to 

end

 the 

vacuuming

.

The delayed action shutdown of the Automatic Start/Stop 
continues to run for up to 15 seconds in order to extract re-
sidual dust from the vacuum hose.
