Mounting VAC Accessories (see figure A) The vacuum hose 17 is equipped with a clip system, with which the VAC accessories (tool sleeve 14, elbow 17) can be connected. Mounting the Tool Sleeve (GAS 15 PS) – Mount the tool sleeve 15 onto the vacuum hose 17 until both snap-fasteners 27 of the vacuum hose can be heard to engage. – To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 27 inward and pull the components apart. Mounting Nozzles and Tubes –Mount the elbow 18 onto the vacuum hose 17 until both snap-fasteners 27 of the vacuum hose can be heard to en- gage. – Afterwards, mount the desired VAC accessory (floor noz- zle, crevice nozzle, vacuum tube, etc.) firmly onto the el- bow 18. – To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 27 inward and pull the components apart. Mounting the Vacuum Hose Vacuuming function (see figure B1) – Insert the vacuum hose 17 into the hose connection piece 2 and turn it all the way in clockwise direction. Note: While vacuuming, an electrostatic charge develops in the vacuum hose and accessories caused by the friction of the dust, which the operator could experience in the form of stat- ic discharging (dependent on environmental influences and physical perception). As a general rule, Bosch recommends using an anti-static vac- uum hose (accessory) when vacuuming fine dusts and dry materials. Blower Function (see figure B2) The vacuum cleaner has a blower function. Do not blow the outgoing air randomly in enclosed areas. Use the blower function only with the a clean hose. Dusts can be hazardous to one’s health. – Switch on the vacuum cleaner for at least 5 seconds (GAS 15: On/Off switch 5 to “On”; GAS 15 PS: Mode se- lector switch 4 to the “Vacuuming” symbol) to clean the vacuum hose 17 of dust deposits. –Turn the vacuum hose 17 all the way in anti-clockwise di- rection and pull it out of the hose connection piece 2. – Insert the vacuum hose 17 into the hose connection piece 13 and turn it all the way in clockwise direction. Inserting/Removing the Plastic Bag or Dust Bag (Dry Vacuuming) (see figures C1 –C4) For dry vacuuming, you can insert a plastic bag 19 or a dust bag (accessory) into the vacuum cleaner. This makes the dust easier to dispose of. Inserting the Plastic Bag – Unlock the latches 9 and remove the vacuum lid 8. – Insert the plastic bag 19 into the container 1 with the in- take hole facing forward. Secure the plastic bag under the suction hole using the clips 28. – Ensure that the plastic bag 19 is completely up against the inner walls of the container 1. – Fold the rest of the plastic bag 19 over the rim of the con- tainer 1. – Reattach the vacuum lid 8 again and lock the latches 9. Removing and Sealing the Plastic Bag – Unlock the latches 9 and remove the vacuum lid 8. – Pull the edge of the full plastic bag 19 backwards out of the clips 28. – Carefully take the plastic bag 19 out of the vacuum cleaner without damaging it. When doing so, make sure that the plastic bag does not scrape against the suction hole or other sharp objects. Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (Accessory) – Unlock the latches 9 and remove the vacuum lid 8. – Pull off the full dust bag 18 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 cleaner. – Work the new dust bag over the connection flange of the vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the dust bag faces com- pletely against the interior sides of the container 1 over its full length. – Reattach the vacuum lid 8 again and lock the latches 9. Inserting the Rubber Lip (Wet Vacuuming) (see figure D) – Carefully pry the brush inserts 24 out of the floor nozzle 25 using a suitable tool. – Insert the rubber lips 23 into the floor nozzle 25. Note: The structured side of the rubber lips must face out- ward. Inserting the Wet Filter (Wet Vacuuming) (see figures E1– E2) – Unlock the latches 9 and remove the vacuum lid 8. – Turn the filter holder 29 all the way in direction of rotation “ ” and take the filter holder together with the filter 20 out of the container 1. – Put the wet filter 21 over the filter basket 30. – Reattach the vacuum lid 8 again and lock the latches 9. Operation Starting Operation Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must correspond with the data on the type plate of the vacuum cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner may generally not be used in rooms where the danger of an explosion exists. To save energy, only switch the vacuum cleaner on when us- ing it. To ensure optimal vacuuming performance, always complete- ly unwind the vacuum hose 17 from the vacuum cleaner lid 8. Dry Vacuuming Vacuuming of deposited dust GAS 15: –To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off switch 5 to “On”. –To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the On/Off switch 5 to “Off”. GAS 15 PS: –To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector switch 4 to the “Vacuuming” symbol. –To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector switch 4 to the “Switching Off” symbol. Extraction of dust resulting from running power tools (only for GAS15 PS) (see figure F) An adequate ventilation rate (L) must be provided for when the outgoing air is circulated. Observe the re- spective national regulations. A socket outlet with earthing contact 3 is integrated in the vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be connected there. Observe the maximal allowable load of the connected power tool. – Mount the tool sleeve 15 (see “Mounting the Tool Sleeve”, page 17). – Insert the tool sleeve 14 into the dust extraction outlet for the power tool. Note: When working with power tools that have a low air feed into the vacuum hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the air dif- fuser 31 of the tool sleeve 15 must be opened. Only then can the semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC) work without any problems. To do so, turn the ring above the air diffuser 31 until a maxi- mum opening is produced. –To activate the automatic start/stop of the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector switch 4 to the “Automatic Start/Stop” sym- bol. –To start the operation of the vac, switch on the power tool connected to the socket 3. The vacuum cleaner starts au- tomatically. – Switch the power tool off to end the vacuuming. The delayed action shutdown of the Automatic Start/Stop continues to run for up to 6 seconds in order to extract re- sidual dust from the vacuum hose. –To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the mode selector switch 4 to the “Switching Off” symbol. Wet Vacuuming 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. The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump. The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa- ter mixtures. Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the mains plug. – Before wet vacuuming, remove the plastic bag 19 or the dust bag and empty the container 1. Note: Use the wet filter 21, which separates the liquid from the solids, to make disposal easier when vacuuming water- solid mixtures. – Insert the wet filter into the container (see “Inserting the Wet Filter”, page 17). – Mount the rubber lips into the floor nozzle (see “Inserting the Rubber Lip”, page 17). The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float. Vacuuming is stopped when the maximum filling level is reached. – Set the mode selector switch 4 to the “Switching Off” sym- bol (GAS 15 PS) or set the On/Off switch 5 to “Off” (GAS 15). –Empty the container 1. To prevent the formation of mould after wet vacuuming: – Remove the vacuum lid 8 and leave it to dry thoroughly. – Remove the wet filter 21 and also leave this to dry thor- oughly. Semi-Automatic Filter Cleaning (see figure G) The filter cleaning system must be actuated at the latest when the vacuuming performance is no longer sufficient. The filter cleaning frequency depends on the type and amount of dust. With regular usage, the maximum vacuuming perfor- mance is maintained longer. During semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC), the air flow is re- versed to clean deposited dust from the flaps of the filter. Triggering the SFC Filter Cleaning – Shut or block off the nozzle or vacuum-hose opening with your palm. – Press the SFC switch 7 three times. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the mains plug. For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum cleaner and ventilation slots clean. Wear a dust protection mask when maintaining and cleaning the vacuum cleaner.
