following suction settings.
Foot switches (see fig. 17)

The next time it is used, it will turn on to
the power level last selected.

Do NOT use the "Auto" power
level to vacuum draperies or other

suction may cause damage to such
items.

Opening the auxiliary air regulator

(see fig. 20)
(depending on model)
You can easily reduce the suction
power briefly to prevent the brush from
sticking to textile flooring, for example.
^ Open the auxiliary air regulator just
far enough so that the suction nozzle
moves easily.
This reduces the suction so the floor
tool is easier to push.
While vacuuming (see fig. 21 + 22)
The vacuum cleaner can also stand on
its end for vacuuming stairs, drapes
etc.
,
To prevent static electricity your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum hand-
piece. Be certain to continuously
touch this inlay when vacuuming
fine dust, flour or sawdust as these
materials are more likely to create a
static electricity. To further prevent
static discharge while vacuuming,
pull the vacuum along by the hose
with one hand while continuing to
hold the handpiece in the other
hand.
Illuminating the work area (see fig. 23)
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with
an LED on the handle to illuminate the
work area (depending on model).
^ Press the I button on the LED
handle.
It will turn itself off automatically after
approx. 30 seconds.
