Assembly u 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 (32) from above until they click into place. Fitting the vacuum hose (see figure B) – Attach the vacuum hose (24) 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 (de- pending 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 (24) is equipped with a clip system which can be used to connect vacuuming accessories (dust extrac- tion adapter (22), curved nozzle (23)). Fitting the dust extraction adapter – Push the dust extraction adapter (22) onto the vacuum hose (24) until you hear both snap fasteners (33) on the vacuum hose engage. – To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (33) in- wards and pull apart the components. Fitting the nozzles and tubes – Push the curved nozzle (23) onto the vacuum hose (24) until you hear both snap fasteners (33) on the vacuum hose engage. – Then attach the required extraction accessory (floor nozzle, crevice nozzle, suction tube, etc.) firmly to the curved nozzle (23). – To remove the accessory, press the snap fasteners (33) inwards and pull apart the components. Inserting/removing the disposal bag or dust bag (dry extraction) (see figures D1–D2) A disposal bag (25) or dust bag must be used for the dry ex- traction of dust class M materials. Insofar as materials with or without an exposure limit of ≥1mg/m

(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 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 H)", page23). 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 re- quired. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter system. Otherwise, you are putting your health at risk. Inserting the disposal bag – Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va- cuum cleaner (12). – Insert the disposal bag (25) into the container (1) with the inlet facing forwards. – Pull the inlet over the connection flange and all the way into the recess of the connection flange. – Make sure that the disposal bag (25) touches all the in- side walls of the container (1). – Fold the rest of the disposal bag (25) over the edge of the container (1). – Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (12) on and close the catches (13). Removing and sealing the disposal bag – Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va- cuum cleaner (12). – Pull the full disposal bag (25) backwards out of the con- nection flange. – Carefully take the disposal bag (25) out of the container (1) without damaging it. When doing so, make sure that the disposal bag does not scrape against the connection flange or other sharp ob- jects. – Remove the adhesive strip cover and tape up the disposal bag. Then tie up the disposal bag (25) below the inlet using the adhesive strip cover that has been removed. Changing/inserting the dust bag (accessory) – Open the catches (13) and remove the top part of the va- cuum cleaner (12). – Pull the full dust bag backwards out of the connection flange. Close the opening in the dust bag by turning down the top. Take the closed dust bag out of the container (1). – Place the new dust bag over the vacuum cleaner's con- nection flange. Make sure that the entire length of the dust bag touches the inside wall of the container (1). – Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (12) on and close the catches (13). Fitting the rubber lip (wet extraction) (see figure

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 (29) out of the floor nozzle (30). – Place the rubber lips (28) in the floor nozzle (30). Note: The textured side of the rubber lips must be facing outwards. Attaching the L-Boxx (see figure F) – Click the L-Boxx onto the adapters (11). English | 21 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4LY | (19.11.2018)22 | English 1 609 92A 4LY | (19.11.2018) Bosch Power Tools 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. u 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 in- jury and damage if you do this. Operation u Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per- forming 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 u 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 230V can also be operated with 220V. u 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 extract- ing the following materials: – Dusts with an exposure limit of ≥0.1mg/m

u Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid- ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less. The dust extractor must categorically not be used in poten- tially explosive areas. To ensure optimum suction power, you must always fully un- wind the vacuum hose (24) from the top part of the dust ex- tractor (12). Dry vacuuming Vacuuming up dust deposits – Adjust the volume flow controller (6) to suit the hose dia- meter 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 fil- ter, an audible alarm signal will sound. In this case, switch off the dust extractor and check it as described in the "Rectify- ing faults" section. Extracting dust that accumulates from working power tools (see figure G) u 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 ex- traction point, the volume flow must not fall below the min- imum specified for the connected power tool.
