Dry vacuuming

Note: When carrying out dry extraction, ensure that both the pre-filter (22) and the main filter (20) are inserted into the dust extractor.

  • To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the on/off switch (1) to the "on" symbol.

  • To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the on/off switch (1) to the "off" symbol.

  • To switch on the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (1) to the "extraction" symbol.

  • To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (1) to the "switch off" symbol.

  • There must be a sufficient air exchange rate in the room when the exhaust air comes back into the room. Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.

The dust extractor has a plug socket with a protective earth contact (2) that can be used to connect an external power tool. Observe the maximum permitted connected load of the connected power tool.

  • GAS 12-25 PL: Fit the extraction adapter (16) .
  • Insert the dust extraction adapter (16) into the extraction outlet of the power tool.

Note: When working with power tools that have a low air feed into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the false air intake (33) of the dust extraction adapter (16) must be opened. This will ensure that the semi-automatic filter cleaning function works correctly.
To do this, turn the ring above the false air intake (33) until the opening is at its maximum size.

  • To activate the automatic start/stop function of the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (1) to the "automatic start/stop" symbol.

  • To start the dust extractor, switch on the power tool connected to the plug socket (2). The dust extractor will start automatically.
  • To stop dust extraction, switch the power tool off.
    The automatic start/stop run-on function will run for up to 6 seconds longer in order to extract the remaining dust from the vacuum hose.
  • To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (1) to the "switch off" symbol.
