Dust class M vacuum cleaners are suited to suctioning up/off dry non-flam- mable dust non-flammable liquids, wood dust and hazardous dust with AGW ≥ 0.1 mg/m

Commissioning Switch the unit ON/OFF with the switch (2a) in the top section (1) (or switch to automatic mode — see Section operating field). Operating field Depending on the unit configuration, the following functions and settings are available:

Standby mode for automatic switch-on/switch-off (suction cup is switched on and off by the power tool)

Standby mode as ‘A’ plus automatic filter cleaning.

Suction device switched on with automatic shaking function

Suction device on standby The suction device switches on automatically when the tool is swit- ched on. After switching off, the suction device continues to run for approx. 10 seconds. This prevents any residual material from remaining in the hose.

The power socket (2b) is available for connecting an electrical tool.

• The electrical tool must be switched off during connection.

• The power socket is permanently supplied with voltage when the plug is in the mains socket regardless of the switch setting.

• In switch setting "0" the power socket could still be used as an extension cable (e.g. for lights).

• Connected load: Suction unit and connected unit max. 16 A.27 Pre-selection switch (2d) for minimum volume signal (horn and light) for suction units of the class "M". In mode A, RA, IR or AR, the following settings should be made depending on the diameter of the hose: Hose inner diameter switch position Ø 35 mm 70 m

The speed is not regulated. The suction unit always runs at max. speed. Operation (wet and dry suctioning)

• When the handle pipe is used, the secondary air valve can be used to adjust the suction output.

• Pull out the plug after you have finished.

• Fix the suction hose in the accessory storage location on the back of the container for storage.

• The ends of the hose can be pushed into each other to prevent particles of dirt from coming out. Dry suctioning

• Only suction with a dry filter, unit and accessories so that the dust does not adhere and harden.

• When vacuuming soot, cement, plaster or similar dusts: Insert a PE dis- posal bag in the dirt container. Always use PE disposal bags in combina- tion with folded filter cartridges.

• Friction inside the extraction hose causes static electricity to develop dur- ing extraction. Operating personnel may receive unpleasant electric shocks while working. To derive this, we recommend using static charges (Art. no.: 35319000 - op- tional), an antistatic hose. Wet suctioning Suction without a paper filter bag. The filter cassettes are suitable for wet suc- tioning. The installed sensor switches the motor off when the tank is full. Empty the unit is outlined in Section Emptying the tank. If the unit is not switched off, the restarting safeguard remains effective. The unit will only be ready for op- eration again after it has been switched off and switched on again.

• Before emptying, first remove the suction hose from the liquid.28

• Due to the high suction output and the streamlined shape of the tank, a little water may escape from the hose after the unit has been switched off.

• For the subsequent dry suction phase, use a dry filter. In case of frequent changes between dry and wet suctioning, we recommend using a second filter set, preferably polyester filter cassettes.

CAUTION! Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately if foam or liquid starts to come out.

Cleaning the filter The suction unit is fitted with an electro-magnetic filter cleaning device which can shake off any dust adhered to the folded filter cassettes. Manual cleaning (DSS 25 A, DSS 25 M) The vibration function (switch setting RA /switch (2a) should be activated at the latest when the volume flow display (2c) (warning lamp) lights up or when the warning signal sounds or when the warning signal sounds or when the suction output sinks. Automatic cleaning (DSS 25 A, DSS 25 M) Filter cleaning is performed (switch setting RA/switch (2a) automatically during the next working break when the minimum volume flow level is reached. Permanent filter cleaning (only DSS 35 M iP) The vacuum cleaner DSS 35 M iP is fitted with an electromagnetic filter clean- ing unit which can be used to shake the dust off the folding filter cassettes. The folding filter cassettes are cleaned alternately so that continuous working can be guaranteed. Emptying the tank Only permitted with dusts with AGW's > 1mg/m

Switch off (2a), disconnect plug, open snap locks (9). Take top section (1) and suction hose from the tank (6). Empty the tank. Fleece filter bag To insert or remove the filter bag/emptying bag, remove the top section (1). To do this, open the side locks (9). Only use the paper filter bag for dry suctioning.29

Inserting the fleece filter bag Only use fleece filter bags for dry vacuum cleaning.

Cleaning Clean the tank and accessories with water. Wipe the top section (1) with e damp cloth.Allow the tank and the accessories to dry. Servicing

Before the beginning of maintenance or repair works you have to disconnect the plug from the mains!

If the suction output of the unit decreases and is not improved after the filter cassettes (12) are cleaned,(assuming the tank (6) is empty and the fleece filter bag (13) has been exchanged), then it is time to exchange the filter cassettes (12). Apply the vibration function to the filter cassettes (12) again before exchanging them. Use a coin or another similar object to turn the catch (5) and the locking bar (4) 90° in an anticlockwise direction and then press the locking bar (4) backwards. Fold up the hood and lift out the filter cassettes (12). Immediately seal the removed filter cassettes in a dust-proof plastic bag and dispose of as per the statutory regulations. Insert new filter cassettes. Fold down the hood again and exert a little pressure to click it back into position.

If the motor protection filter is soiled, this is an indication that the filter cassettes are defective. Please exchange both filter cassettes. Wash out the motor protection filter under running water, dry and re-insert.31 Level sensors Clean the level sensors occasionally. Unlock the latches (9) and remove the top section (1). Clean the level sensors with a soft cloth. Reattach the top section (1) again and lock the latches (9).

Do not intervene further, contact a customer service workshop. Transport Insert the closing plug of the vacuum cleaner into the suctionaperture (DSS 25 M and DSS 35 M iP). The motor head must be securely fixed to the container (close the latches). Place the accessories in a suitable plastic bag and seal the plastic bag or place it in the tool storage compartment. Plug the ends of the suction hose into each other. Tests and approvals Electro-technical tests need to be performed in accordance with the accident prevention guidelines (BGV A3) and in accordance with DIN VDE 0701 Part32 1 and Part 3. These tests need to be performed in regular intervals in ac- cordance with DIN VDE 0702 and after maintenance work or modifications. At least once a year, a technical dust inspection needs to be performed by the manufacturer or a qualified person, e.g. to check for damage to the filter, leaks, function of the control equipment. The suction units are passed succesfull tested in accordance with IEC/EN 60335-2-69.

Environmental Protection

Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal

To avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be delivered in a sturdy packing. Packaging as well as unit and accessories are made of recy- clable materials and can be disposed accordingly. The tool’s plastic components are marked according to their material, which makes it possible to remove environmental friendly and differentiated be- cause of available collection facilities.

Only for EU countries Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material! In observance of the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
