Safety Notes Read all safety warnings and all instruc-tions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.Save these instructions.Do not vacuum materials that are harm-ful to one’s health, e. g. dust from beech or oak wood, masonry dust, asbestos. These materials are considered carcinogenic.Use the vacuum cleaner only when you fully understand and can perform all functions without limitation, or have received appropri-ate instructions. A thorough introduction reduces operating errors and injuries.f Children or persons that, owing to their physical, sen-sory or mental limitations or to their lack of experience or knowledge, are not capable of securely operating the vacuum cleaner, may only use this vacuum cleaner under supervision or after having been instructed by a responsible person. Otherwise, there is danger of operat-ing errors and injuries.The vacuum cleaner is suitable for vac-uuming dry materials and, by taking suitable measures, also for vacuuming liquids. The pene-tration of liquids increases the risk of an electric shock.f Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for ex-ample, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not operate the machine in rooms where the danger of an explosion exists. The dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.Use the socket only for the purposes specified in of the operating instruc-tions.Switch the vacuum cleaner off immedi-ately as soon as foam or water comes out, and empty the container. Otherwise, the vacuum clean-er can become damaged.The vacuum cleaner may only be used and stored indoors. The penetration of rain or moisture into the vacuum cleaner lid increases the risk of an electric shock.Clean the filling-level sensors for liq-uids at regular intervals, and check them for damage. Otherwise, their function can be impaired.f When operating the vacuum cleaner in damp environ-ments, use a residual current device (RCD). Using a re-sidual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of an electric shock.f Connect the vacuum cleaner to a properly earthed mains supply. The socket outlet and the extension cable must have an operative protective conductor.

plug. Do not use the vacuum cleaner when defects are

detected. Do not open the vacuum cleaner yourself and

have it repaired only by qualified personnel using orig-

inal spare parts. Damaged vacuum cleaner, cables and

plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

f Do not drive over, crush or stretch the cable. Do not

pull the cable to unplug the plug from the socket outlet

or to move the vacuum cleaner. Damaged cablesin-

crease the risk of an electric shock.

f During work breaks, when not in use or when working

on the machine (e. g. changing tool inserts, repairs,

cleaning, adjustments), pull the mains plug. This safety

measure prevents accidental starting of the vacuum clean-

f Provide for good ventilation at the working place.

f Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not

play with the vacuum cleaner.

f Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only through quali-

fied specialists and only using original spare parts. This

ensures that the safety of your vacuum cleaner is main-

f Before restarting, check the proper condition of the

vacuum hose. When doing this, leave the vacuum hose

mounted to the vacuum cleaner to avoid dust from

coming out. Otherwise, you could possible inhale dust.

f Do not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat. The vacuum

cleaner could become damaged.

f Use the mains cable and the vacuum hose carefully.

Other persons could be harmed.

f Do not clean the vacuum cleaner with a water jet point-

ed directly at it. The penetration of water into the vacuum

cleaner lid increases the risk of an electric shock.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA

approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be

cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-

ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should

have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-

vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

The following symbols could have a meaning for the use of your vacuum cleaner. Please take note of the symbols and their mean-

ing. The correct interpretation of the symbols will help you to use the vacuum cleaner in a better and safer manner.

Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product de-

Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (see figure A)

– Unlock the latches 10 and remove the vacuum lid 3.

– Pull off the full dust bag 11 from the connection flange to-

ward the rear. Close the opening of the dust bag by folding

down the lid. Remove the closed dust bag from the vacuum

– Slide the new dust bag 11 over the connection flange of the

vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the full length of the dust

bag 11 faces against the inner wall of the container 9. Reat-

tach the vacuum lid 3.

– Lock the latches 10.

For dry vacuuming operation, a dust bag 11 should be insert-

ed. When operating with a dust bag 11, the folded filter 12

clogs slower, the vacuuming performance is kept up longer

and the disposal of dust becomes easier.

Mounting the Vacuum Hose (see figure A)

Mount the vacuum hose 8 onto the hose connection piece 7

and turn it in clockwise direction to the stop.

Insert the extension tubes firmly into each other.

Note: Bosch recommends using static-discharging hoses

with a hose Ø of 19 or 35 mm.

f Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the vacuum cleaner. Equipment marked

with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

f Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately as soon as

foam or water comes out, and empty the container.

Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner can become damaged.

Operation with remote automatic switching (see figure B)

A socket outlet with earthing contact 5 is integrated in the

vacuum cleaner, which allows for connection of an external

power tool. The vacuum cleaner is automatically put into op-

eration via the power tool. Observe the maximal allowable

load of the connected power tool.

Wait shortly before restarting the vacuuming operation so

that the dust can settle in the container.

The filter cleaning frequency depends on the type and amount

of dust. With regular usage, the maximum vacuuming per-

formance is maintained longer.

f Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for ex-

ample, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum

hot or burning dust. Do not operate the machine in

rooms where the danger of an explosion exists. The

Note: Before wet vacuuming, the dust bag 11 must be re-

moved and the container 9 must be emptied.

The machine is equipped with level sensors 14. The vac

switches off when the maximum filling height is reached. Set

the mode selector switch 4 to off.

After vacuuming, remove the folded filter 12 in order to avoid

mildew, and allow it to dry thoroughly, or remove the vacuum

lid 3 and allow it to dry.

Application Possibilities

The vacuum cleaner is suitable for vacuuming and extracting

the following materials:

– Fine dusts below the general dust limit value of 3 mg/m

– Dusts of mineral materials with aluminium hydroxide

– Powder-paint dusts

– GFRP dusts based on epoxy resin, see manufacturer’s data

– CFP dusts based on epoxy resin, see manufacturer’s data

The vacuum cleaner may generally not be used in rooms

where the danger of an explosion exists.

cleaner and ventilation slots clean.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to

be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-

If the vacuum cleaner should fail despite the care taken in

manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be car-

ried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power

12 by the fins, pull up and remove.

– Clean the folded filter 12.

– Insert new or cleaned folded filter 12 and ensure firm seat-

– Fold the vacuum lid 3 down again. With slight pressure

from above on the cover, the lock 6 will snap back again.

Wipe out the container 9 from time to time with a commercial-

ly available, non-scouring cleaning agent and allow to dry.

Motor Protection Filter (see figure B)

The motor protection filter 13 is basically maintenance- free.

Take out the motor protection filter from time to time and

flush it with clear water. Allow the motor protection filter to

dry thoroughly before reinserting.
