Emptying the dust box (see figures F1−F5)

Note: Wear a dust mask when performing maintenance and cleaning on the dust box.

Empty the dust box (9) regularly as well as after completing your work, in order to ensure that the dust extraction attachment continues to perform optimally. The viewing window  enables you to check how full the dust box is.

• Hold the power tool with the dust extraction attachment horizontally and switch on the power tool for a few seconds.
  This will cause residual dust to be sucked out of the extraction channel into the dust box (9).
• Press the release button (7) and swivel the dust box (9) out of the dust extraction attachment.
• Open the dust box flap (15) until it covers the filter (16).
• Empty the dust box (9) over a suitable waste bin.
• If necessary, take the HEPA filter (16) out of the dust box and carefully tap it out or brush down the filter flaps with a soft brush.
  Note: Do not clean the HEPA filter by blowing it with compressed air.
  Put the HEPA filter back in the dust box.
• Close the flap (15).
• Position the dust box on the dust extraction attachment at the hinge and swivel the dust box until the release button (7) audibly engages.
• Carry out mechanical filter cleaning.
