6.1 Attaching the carrying handle

(ASR 2050) Stick the carrying handle (4) into the support provided for it on the container (9) and secure with the quick-release locks provided.

6.2 Fitting wheels (if necessary)

Insert the axles of the guide rollers in the holes in the container until they engage. Fit the large wheels as shown:

7.1 On/Off switch, automatic, vibrator

Select the mode via switch (1):

= Dust extractor off

= Dust extractor on (manual operation)

= Automatic On/Off switch: The dust extractor is turned on and off by a power tool (3) connected to the mains socket.

= Automatic On/Off switch and automatic vibrator

• If the switch (1) is turned to position R A, the electromagnetic vibrator switches on. Dust is shaken off the filter. The vibrator switches off automatically after approx. 10 secs.

• In switch position R A, the dust extractor is turned on and off by a power tool (3) connected to the mains socket.

• In switch position R A, the electronics system checks the air flow during opera- tion. If the flow is insufficient due to a contaminated filter, the "Filtercontrol" lamp (2) lights up. During the next work pause of the connected power tool, the electronics system switches the vibrator on automati- cally for approx. 10 seconds. The plug socket (3) is designed for connection to a power tool only. The total maximum permissible current consumption (of dust extractor and connected unit) must not exceed the value I max (see table, page 2)

Caution ! The power tool must be switched off when it is connected. Regardless of the switch position the plug socket is always live when the mains plug is plugged in. In switch position "0" the plug socket can be used as an extension lead (e.g. for a lighting fitting).

Dry Vacuuming Vacuum using a dry filter, dry appliance and dry accessories only. In damp condition the dust can adhere and become encrusted. When vacuuming soot, cement, plaster of Paris, flour or similar dust, insert a paper filter bag. Always use the paper filter bag together with a filter cartridge. Wet Vacuuming Never operate the machine without inserting a filter cassette first (13). The machine may be destroyed and water may also escape. Vacuum without a paper filter bag. The filter cartridges are suitable for wet vacuuming. The integrated sensor switches off the motor when the container is full. Empty the appliance as described in the section Emptying the Container. If the appliance is not switched off, the restart protection device remains effective. The appliance is not operable again until after is has been switched off and switched back on again. Before emptying, first of all take the suction hose out of the liquid. After switching off, some water may run back out of the hose. If you are going to subsequently dry vacuum, insert a filter. If there is a frequent changeover between dry and wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of a second (replacement) filter. Filter cartridges made of polyester material are particularly well suited for wet suction. In addition they offer a long service life and very good dedusting properties.

7.3 Dedusting the filter

The electromagnetic vibrator shakes off dust which sticks to the filter cartridge (13). This ensures optimised use of the filter cartridges and lengthens the work cycles. Turn the switch (1) to the "R A" position. After using the vibration function, you should wait a few seconds until the dust shaken from the filter has settled.

ENG Remove the upper part (5) and suction hose from the container (9). Tip out the container or pull the paper filter bag (11) off the suction opening.

7.5 Paper filter bag

Open the latching fasteners (10), remove the upper part (5) from the container (9). ASR 2025: Hold the paper filter bag (11) on the flange and insert vertically from above into the guide of the suction opening (8) as far as the stop. ASR 2050: Hold the paper bag filter (11) on the flange and, with its opening, guide it first over the latch at the bottom part of the suction opening (8) then fit up to the stop on the suction opening. The paper filter bag increases the dust retention capacity, increases the service life of the filter cartridges and enables for hygienic disposal. Use the paper filter bag for dry vacuuming only. Clean the container and accessories with water. Wipe the upper part (5) with a damp cloth. Allow the filter, container and accessories to dry so that no dust is able to adhere to otherwise damp components. Before doing any wet vacuuming remove the dry vacuumed material. Doing this will avoid intense soiling and encrustation. If the suction power decreases, take the following action:

1. Clean the filter cartridges by switching off the

3. Renew the filter cartridges (13)

Prior to changing the filter, dedust the filter cartridges (13) again. Use a coin or a similar object to turn the locking knob (7) on the locking bar (6) counter-clockwise through 90° and push the bar (6) to the rear. Hinge the hood up and take out the filter cartridges (13) upwards. Put new filter cartridges back in, ensuring that the filters are firmly and cleanly seated. From time to time the motor protection filter (12) must be cleaned. To do so, take the filter out of the motor housing. Wash the filter in flowing water and allow it to dry. Re-insert the filter. Remove any contamination. Hinge the hood back down and press it shut. Reduction in suction power:

• Filter soiled - clean

• Paper filter full - change

• Container full - empty.

• Motor protection filter clogged - clean

• Nozzle, tubes or hose blocked - clean Appliance will not start:

• Is the plug in the plug socket ?

• No power from mains ?

• Appliance hood correctly closed ?

• Has the water sensor cut off ? Do not interfere with the appliance. Contact an authorized workshop or Metabo's after-sales service department (see section Repairs)
