Warning sign for machines with
dust class L:
While the appliance is suitable for
extracting substances that pose a
slight threat to health, it is not
appropriate for reducing wood dust
in inhaled air.
Dust from material such as paint
containing lead, some wood
species, minerals and metal may
be harmful. Contact with or
inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or
respiratory diseases to the

Certain kinds of dust are classified
as carcinogenic, such as oak and
beech dust, especially in
conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood
preservative).

6. Initial Operation

Before plugging in the appliance, check
that the rated mains voltage and mains
frequency, as specified on the rating label,
match your power supply.
Attach the handle connecting piece or coupling to
the suction hose (see illustration A, page 2.).
Prepare the suction tube as shown for storage in the
repository (see illustration C, page 2.).
6.1 Inserting a Fleece Filter Bag (9)
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.
When using a fleece/paper filter bag the filter
cleaning is non-functional.
Switch off appliance. Unplug mains cable. Ensure
the plug cannot be reconnected accidentally. Open
the snap locks (6). Remove the upper part (3) from
the container (8).
See illustration B, page 2. Holding the new filter bag
by the flange, push it together with the rubber
diaphragm over the suction connection. Ensure that
the rubber diaphragm is fitted over the thicker
section.
Replace the upper part of the appliance on the
container and close the snap locks.
6.2 Inserting a PE Filter Bag (10)
We recommend the use of PE-disposal bags for:
- Applications, where larger amounts of dust are
created (e.g. removal of plaster surfaces, spot-
grinding and grinding of screeds, etc.).
- Use of machines, such as e.g.: renovation milling
machines, renovation grinders, drywall grinders,
wall grinders etc.
