Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or storing the vacuum
cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner
from being started accidentally.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum
cleaner and ventilation slots clean.
For maintenance on behalf of the user, the vacuum cleaner
must be disassembled, cleaned and maintained as far as fea-
sible, without causing a risk for the maintenance personnel or
other persons. Prior to disassembly, the vacuum cleaner
should be cleaned in order to prevent any risks. The room/en-
closure in which the vacuum cleaner is disassembled should
be well ventilated. Wear personal protective equipment dur-
ing maintenance. After the maintenance, the maintenance ar-
ea should be cleaned.
A dust-technical inspection is to be carried out at least once
every year by the manufacturer or an instructed person, e. g.
for damage of the filter, tightness against leakage of the vacu-
um cleaner and function of the control/monitoring unit.
For category L vacuum cleaners that were in contaminated
environments, the exterior as well as all machine parts should
be cleaned or treated with sealants. When performing mainte-
nance and repair work, all contaminated components that
cannot be cleaned to satisfactory must be disposed of. Such
components must be disposed of in impermeable plastic bags
conforming with the valid regulations for the disposal of such
waste.
– Clean the vacuum cleaner housing from time to time using
a moist cloth.
– Clean soiled charger contacts using a dry cloth.
Cleaning the container (see figures F1 – F2)

Malfunctions
In the case of insufficient vacuuming performance, check the
following:

– Is the filter 27 clogged with dust?
▷ See "Cleaning/replacing filters", page 16.
– Is the capacity of the battery pack too low?

Regularly emptying the dust container 1 and cleaning the fil-
ter 27 will ensure optimum suction power.
