Rectifying faults

If a fault (e.g. a filter damage) occurs, the vacuum cleaner must be switched off immediately. The fault must be repaired before resuming operation.

Acoustic warning signal sounds.	Suction power setting too low. Set the suction power regulator (8) to a higher setting.
	Hose diameter setting is wrong. Set the volume flow controller (6) to the correct vacuum hose diameter.
	Vacuum hose (24) is blocked or twisted. Remove blockage or untwist hose.
	Disposal bag/dust bag full. Change the disposal bag (25) or dust bag.
	Flat-pleated filter (26) is dirty. Clean or change the flat-pleated filter if required.
	The airflow supplied by the connected power tool is insufficient. Open the false air intake (34) on the extraction adapter (22): Turn the ring on the extraction adapter until the false air intake is fully open. Open the false air intake on the power tool if there is one.
