filter cleaning must be turned off when
using paper bags. The reversal of air during
filter cleaning may damage the paper bag.
Notes:
• Always use fleece filter bags when using
HEPA filters with dust extractor.
• Fleece filter bags in conjunction with the
automatic or semi-automatic filter cleaning
will help extend filter life and maintain dust
extractor suction efficiency.
• With regular usage of the filter cleaning
system, the maximum vacuuming
performance is maintained longer.
• The filter cleaning system must be
activated when the suction power
decreases to the point of being
insufficient.
• The sound of the filter cleaning system
may surprise those near the work area.
Before using filter cleaning, alert those in

feature and the associated sound it
makes.
• The proper frequency for activating the
filter cleaning system depends on the type
and amount of dust. With regular usage,
the maximum vacuuming performance is
maintained longer.
Automatic filter cleaning (AFC) (Available
on models VAC090A, VAC140A)
Automatic filter cleaning is active whenever
the dust extractor is switched on in either the
"Power tool activation" mode or normal
vacuuming mode.
To deactivate the AFC feature, press the red
membrane button the front of the dust
extractor. The LED will turn off to signal this
feature is deactivated. To reactivate, press
the red membrane button a second time and
the greed LED light will turn on signaling the
AFC feature is activated (Fig. 3).
Air reversals will clean the filters every 15
seconds, maintaining the highest level of
suction power. Dust extractor suction will be
maintained as the filters are being cleaned.
Semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC)
(Available on models VAC090S, VAC140S)
Air reversals will clean the filters when either
the actuator on the hose is depressed, or the
airflow is blocked by covering the end of the
hose. No suction will be available as the
filters are being cleaned (Fig. 13).

To deactivate the SFC function, slide the red
switch on the side of the dust extractor towards

slide the red switch towards the rear of the dust
extractor (Fig. 2).
