Assembly

▶ Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the dust extractor.

Fitting the holder for the vacuum hose (see figure A)

- Slide the holder (4) for the vacuum hose firmly into the corresponding adapters (36) from above until they click into place.

Fitting the vacuum hose (see figure B)

- Attach the vacuum hose (27) to the hose adapter (3) and turn it clockwise as far as possible.

Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic charge that the user may experience as static discharge (depending on environmental factors and their physiological state).

Bosch generally recommends using an anti-static vacuum hose (accessory) to vacuum up fine dust and dry materials.

Fitting the vacuuming accessories (see figure C)

The vacuum hose (27) is equipped with a clip system which can be used to connect vacuuming accessories (dust extraction adapter (25), curved nozzle (28)).

Fitting the nozzles and tubes

• Push the curved nozzle (28) onto the vacuum hose (27) until you hear both snap fasteners (37) on the vacuum hose engage.
• Then attach the required extraction accessory (floor nozzle, crevice nozzle, suction tube, etc.) firmly to the curved nozzle (28).
• To remove the accessory, press the snap fasteners (37) inwards and pull apart the components.

Fitting the dust extraction adapter

• Push the dust extraction adapter (25) onto the vacuum hose (27) until you hear both snap fasteners (37) on the vacuum hose engage.
• To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (37) inwards and pull apart the components.

Inserting/removing the disposal bag or dust bag (dry extraction) (see figure D)

A disposal bag (29) or dust bag must be used for the dry extraction of dust class M materials.

22 | English

Insofar as materials with or without an exposure limit of ≥ 1mg / m^3 (dust class L materials) are extracted, these can be sucked straight into the container.

Note: If using a paper filter bag, you must make sure that the automatic filter cleaning (AFC) is switched off; you should also do the same if using a fleece filter bag (see "Automatic filter cleaning (see figure I)", page 24).

WARNING

The vacuum cleaner contains dust particles that pose a risk to health.

Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the disposal of dust collectors, should only be carried out by professionals. Suitable protective equipment is required. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter system. Otherwise, you are putting your health at risk.

• Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (13) on and close the catches (15).

Fitting the rubber lip (wet extraction) (see figure E)

Note: The requirements for the degree of penetration (dust class M) have only been verified for dry extraction.

- Use a suitable tool to lift the brush inserts (33) out of the floor nozzle (34).

- Place the rubber lips (32) in the floor nozzle (34).

Note: The textured side of the rubber lips must be facing outwards.

Attaching the L-Boxx (see figure F)

You can attach an L-Boxx to the top part of the dust extractor for transporting the extractor and to provide space-saving storage for extractor accessories and/or the power tool.

- Click the L-Boxx onto the adapters (11).

▶ Do not use the dust extractor with an L-Boxx attached.
This will raise the dust extractor's centre of gravity. The extractor may tip over. There is a risk of injury and damage if you do this.
▶ Do not carry the dust extractor by the carrying handle of the attached L-Boxx. The dust extractor is too heavy for the carrying handle of the L-Boxx. There is a risk of injury and damage if you do this.

Operation

▶ Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or performing maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.

Start-up

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must correspond with the information on the type plate of the dust extractor. Chargers labelled as 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
▶ Make sure you inform yourself about the applicable regulations/laws on how to handle harmful types of dust in your country.

The dust extractor may be used for vacuuming and extracting the following materials:

- Dusts with an exposure limit of ≥ 0.1mg / m^3

▶ Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.

The dust extractor must categorically not be used in potentially explosive areas.

To ensure optimum suction power, you must always fully unwind the vacuum hose (27) from the top part of the dust extractor (13).

Dry vacuuming

Vacuuming up dust deposits

- Adjust the volume flow controller (6) to suit the hose diameter used.

- To switch on the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the "extraction" symbol.

- To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the "switch off" symbol.

The dust extractor is fitted with airflow monitoring. In the "vacuuming" operating mode, the volume flow monitoring is fixed to a value of 20 m/s, irrespective of the setting of the volume flow controller (6).

If the value falls below this, e.g. due to accumulated dirt in the vacuum hose, a full dust bag or a clogged flat-pleated filter, an audible alarm signal will sound. In this case, switch off the dust extractor and check it as described in the "Rectifying faults" section.

Extracting dust that accumulates from working power tools (see figure G)

There must be a sufficient air exchange rate (L) in the room when the exhaust air comes back into the room. Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.

The dust extractor has an electric socket with a protective earth contact (5), which can be used to connect an external power tool. Observe the maximum permitted load of the connected power tool.

In order for sufficient dust transport to be ensured at the extraction point, the volume flow must not fall below the minimum specified for the connected power tool.

Hose diameter Volume flow setting

35 mm 57.9 m	^3/h
22 mm 41.2 m	^3/h
15 mm 12.7 m	^3/h

• Adjust the volume flow controller (6) to suit the hose diameter used.
• Fit the extraction adapter (25) (see "Fitting the dust extraction adapter", page 21).
• Insert the extraction adapter (25) into the dust extraction outlet of the power tool.

Note: When working with power tools that have a low air feed into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the false air intake (26) of the dust extraction adapter (25) must be opened. This will ensure that the automatic filter cleaning function works correctly.

To do this, turn the ring above the false air intake (26) until the opening is at its maximum size.

- To activate the automatic start/stop

function of the dust extractor, set the operating mode selector switch (7) to the "automatic start/stop" symbol.

In this operating mode, the volume flow is electronically monitored according to the

setting of the volume flow controller (6). Sufficient dust transport is ensured when the setting is correctly selected.

• To activate the dust extractor, switch on the power tool that is plugged into the electric socket (5). The dust extractor will start automatically.
• To stop dust extraction, switch the power tool off. The automatic start/stop run-on function will run for up to 15 seconds longer in order to extract the remaining dust from the vacuum hose.
• To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the "switch off" symbol.

If the acoustic warning signal sounds, the dust extractor must be checked as described in the "Rectifying faults" section.

Wet extraction (see figure H)

▶ Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or explode.
The vacuum cleaner must not be used as a water pump. The vacuum cleaner is designed for vacuuming air and vacuuming water mixtures.

Note: The requirements for the degree of penetration (dust class M) have only been verified for dry extraction.

Steps to Take before Wet Vacuuming

- Remove the disposal bag (29) or dust bag if necessary.

Note: Use a wet filter bag (accessory), which separates liquid from solids, to make disposal easier when vacuuming water-solid mixtures.

• Fit the rubber lip (32) in the floor nozzle (34) (see "Fitting the rubber lip (wet extraction) (see figure E)", page 22).
• Switch off the automatic filter cleaning (AFC) (see "Automatic filter cleaning (see figure I)", page 24).

Vacuuming up liquids

- To switch on the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the "extraction" symbol.

The dust extractor is equipped with fill level sensors (40). The dust extractor shuts down if the maximum fill level has been reached. Set the mode selector switch (7) to the "switch off" symbol.

Note: When extracting non-conductive liquids (e.g. drilling emulsion, oils and fats), the dust extractor will not switch off when the container is full. The fill level must be constantly monitored and the container emptied in good time.

If the acoustic warning signal sounds during wet extraction, the operating reliability of the dust extractor is not affected. No measures to rectify the fault are necessary.

- To switch off the dust extractor, set the mode selector switch (7) to the "switch off" symbol.

24 | English

• Pull the dump hose (23) from its holder and drain off the waste water through the dump hose.
• To transport the dust extractor, screw the sealing plug (2) onto the hose adapter (3).
• Empty the container (1).
  To prevent mould growth after wet extraction:
• Remove the flat-pleated filter (30) and leave this to dry thoroughly.
• Remove the top part of the dust extractor (13), open the filter cover (39) and leave both elements to dry thoroughly.

Automatic filter cleaning (see figure I)

When automatic filter cleaning (AFC) is active, the flat-pleated filter (30) is cleaned every 15 seconds using blasts of air (pulsating noise).

The filter cleaning function should be used regularly, and at the very latest when the suction power is no longer sufficient.

Regular use of the filter cleaning function will increase the service life of the filter.

In order to achieve an optimum filter service life, deactivate the automatic filter cleaning function only in exceptional cases, e.g. when vacuuming pure liquids or using a paper filter bag.

A flat-pleated filter with surface dirt is still fully functional. It is not necessary to clean the flat-pleated filter manually by shaking or blowing it out; this may even damage the filter.

Note: The automatic filter cleaning function is switched on by default when the dust extractor leaves the factory.

It is only possible to switch the automatic filter function on or off when the tool is switched on.

- Deactivating AFC

Press the AFC button (9). The control LED (38) will go out.

- Activating AFC

Press the AFC button (9). The control LED (38) will light up green.

Maintenance and service

Maintenance and cleaning

▶ Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or performing maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
▶ To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the dust extractor and the ventilation slots clean.
▶ Wear a dust mask when servicing and cleaning the vacuum cleaner.

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.

For the user to carry out maintenance, the dust extractor needs to be disassembled, cleaned and maintained as far as this is possible without endangering maintenance personnel or other persons. Before disassembly, the dust extractor should be cleaned to prevent any potential hazards. The room in which the dust extractor is disassembled should be well ventilated. Wear personal protective equipment while carrying out maintenance. After completing maintenance, the maintenance area should be cleaned.

An inspection regarding the dust extraction capability must be carried out at least once a year by the manufacturer or someone who has been trained, e.g. to check for filter damage, that the vacuum cleaner is tight and that the control unit is functioning correctly.

Class M dust extractors that have been in dirty environments should have their exteriors, as well as all their components, cleaned or treated with sealant. When performing maintenance and repair work, all dirty parts that cannot be cleaned satisfactorily must be disposed of. Such parts must be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance with the valid provisions for disposing of such waste.

Removing/changing the flat-pleated filter (see figures J1-J2)

Suction power is dependent on the condition of the filter. Therefore, the filter should be cleaned regularly.

If the flat-pleated filter (30) becomes damaged, replace it immediately.

– Pull on the closing flap (20) and open the filter cover (39).
- Hold the flat-pleated filter (30) by the supports and take it out from above.
