- If you use a paper bag, place it inside the tank (suc-
tion nozzle).
- Place the vacuum cleaner head in the tank and fasten
it in place with clamps G, (Fig. 1).
- Fit suction hose D onto the tank's nozzle C (Figs. 1 and 2)
- Plug in the vacuum cleaner and move switch F to the
"MAN" position to start it up (Fig. 4).
- The vacuum cleaner has an alarm that is activated
when it detects that the filter is full.
8. USE WITH POWER TOOLS
Before using the vacuum cleaner, check (Figs. 1-3):
- That filter bag A, or the paper filter bag, is properly
fitted inside the vacuum cleaner.
- That the filter for cartridge B is properly inserted into
the top of the body.
Starting with nozzle C, fit in the following order:
1. The connection at "Y", L (Fig. 6), optional accessory
ref. 8299656.
2. The 3.5 m standard suction connection K (Fig. 6),
optional accessory ref. 6446073.
3. The power tool.
Plug the power tool into the extra socket E (Fig. 4) located
at the top of the vacuum cleaner head.
Plug the vacuum cleaner into the mains and move switch
F (Fig. 4) to position "AUT".
In these conditions, whenever the tool is turned on the
vacuum cleaner will also start up automatically.
If on connecting a portable electronically controlled
machine to the vacuum cleaner you observe that the
vacuum cleaner does not automatically start when the
machine is turned on, simply rotate the machine's socket
in the vacuum cleaner by 180° to solve the problem.
Thanks to the connection at "Y" it is possible to use up
to two tools at the same time with one vacuum cleaner.
9. INSTRUCTION TO BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED

10. MAINTENANCE
Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains before
carrying out any maintenance operations. Maintenance
operations must be carried out by qualified personnel
only.
In order for the vacuum cleaner to work efficiently, we
recommend that you:
• Periodically remove dust and waste matter by shaking
the filter bag. Clean the filter cartridges frequently with
a soft brush. If there is a lot of material encrusted on
the filter, change it immediately. It is advisable always
to have a spare filter.
• To replace the cartridge filter, remove motor block K
from the vacuum cleaner by opening clamps G (Fig. 1).
Then loosen screws H and turn support I by about a ¼
turn (Fig. 1). Finally, loosen knob J in order to extract
cartridge filter B (Fig. 5). Fit the new cartridge filter and
fasten it in place using knob J. Lastly, fasten support I
with screw H and fasten the motor block to the tank
by closing clamps G.
• Always keep the suction channels clean. (A build-up
of dirt will result in a loss of aspiration and will cause
the motor to overheat.)
