18 EN– 3 – Please follow the safety regulations ap- plicable to the materials that are to be treated. – Press the parking brake to the steering roller for a secure footing. The device may move uncontrollably if the parking brake is open. If the device is operated without a flat fold filter, it automatically switches off. The appliance allows 2 operating modes: 1 Industry vacuum cleaner mode (socket not used) 2 Dedusting mode (socket used) Connect the suction hose and insert the suction nozzle or connect to the dust- generating device depending on the op- erating mode. 몇 WARNING The flat pleated filter must always be in place while vacuuming. 몇 WARNING Do not vacuum without the filter elements; otherwise, the suction motor can get dam- aged and this can be hazardous to health on account of increased release of fine dust particles. The horn blows (interval tone) when the air speed falls below 20 m/s. Note: The horn reacts to negative pressure. Set the rotary switch to the correct suc- tion hose cross-section. The horn blows (permanent tone) when the cooling air filter is clogged. Allow appliance to cool down. Clean/re- place the cooling air filter. Static charge is deflected by providing earthing to the connection nozzles. This prevents the formation of sparks and cur- rent shocks with attachments with electrical conductivity (included in the delivery). – NT 30/1: The device is equipped with a fleece filter bag with a lock cap, order no. 2.889-154.0 (5 units). – NT 40/1, NT 50/1: The device is equipped with a fleece filter bag with a lock cap, order no. 2.889-155.0 (5 units). – The device is equiped with a dust bag with cable ties, order no. 2.889-231.0 (10 pieces). Note: You can use this appliance to take up all types of dust up to dust class M. It is stat- utorily necessary to use a dust collection bag (see Filter systems for order number). Note: The appliance is suited as industrial vacuum cleaner and as dedusting device for the mobile operation to take up dry, non- combustible dusts with AGW values great- er than or equal to 0.1 mg/m

Note: The vacuum cleaner starts automat- ically within 0.5 seconds and continues to run for 15 seconds after the power tool has being switched off. Note: Please refer to "Technical specifica- tions" for the power connection specifica- tions of the power tools. Illustration Remove the elbow from the suction hose. Attach the tool adapter to the suction hose. Illustration Connect the tool adapter to the electric power tool. Note: The different suction hose sections are required to allow an adjustment to the connection sections of the processing tools. Set the minimum volume flow for the suction hose cross section at the rotary switch. The scale displays the suction hose cross section. Note: To use the appliance as dedusting device for the mobile operation (processing tool connected to the vacuum cleaner) the built-in monitoring must be adjusted to the connected processing tool (dust-generat- ing device). This means that the user must be warned if the minimum volume flow of 20 m/s that is required for the suction is fall- en short of. The appliance has an special filter cleaning system that is particularly effective with fine dust. The flat pleated filter is automatically cleaned every 7.5/15/60 seconds (depend- ing on the application) through an air jet (pulsating sound). Set the rotary switch to program 2 (TACT AUTO). Illustration Power dedusting (especially with se- vere soiling of the flat pleated filter): Set the rotary switch to program 2, cover the suction tube or the bender with your hand and wait for the automatic filter dedusting (every 15 seconds).
