Mounting VAC Accessories
The vacuum hose 16 is equipped with a clip system, with
which the VAC accessories (extraction adapter 17, curved
nozzle 18) can be connected.
Fitting the extraction adapter or curved nozzle
(see figure B)
– Fit the extraction adapter 17 or the curved nozzle 18 to the
vacuum hose 16 until the two snap fasteners 27 of the vac-
uum hose click into place.
– To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 27 inward and
pull the components apart.
Mounting Nozzles and Tubes
– Then attach the required vacuuming accessory (floor noz-
zle, crevice nozzle, suction tube, etc.) firmly to the curved
nozzle 18 or the extraction adapter 17.
Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag
(Dry Vacuuming) (see figures C1–C2)
You can use a dust bag (accessory) for dry vacuuming. This
makes the dust easier to dispose of.
Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (Accessory)
– Unlock the latches 8 and remove the vacuum lid 7.
– Pull the full dust bag 29 backwards out of the connection
flange 28 and remove it 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 7 again and lock the latches 8.
Changing inserts for the floor nozzle
(see figures D1 – D2)
Depending on the vacuuming work to be carried out (dry, wet,
carpet, etc.), you can clip different inserts into the floor noz-
zle 21 (e.g. rubber lip, brush insert).
– Press the release buttons 30 on the floor nozzle 21 to re-
lease the insert from the floor nozzle.
– Clip the required insert 22/23/24 into the floor nozzle 21.
Operation
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Starting Operation
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the vacuum cleaner. Equipment marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
 Only use an undamaged filter (no cracks, small holes,
etc.). Replace a damaged filter immediately.
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 16 from the vacuum cleaner lid 7.
Bosch Power Tools
Dry Vacuuming
Vacuuming of deposited dust
UniversalVac 15:
– To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the
on/off switch 5 to the "Vacuuming" symbol.
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the
On/Off switch 5 to the "Switching Off" sym-
bol.
AdvancedVac 20:
– To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the
mode selector switch 5 to the "Vacuuming"
symbol.
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the
mode selector switch 5 to the "Off" symbol.
Extraction of dust resulting from running power tools
(see figure E)
– Fit the extraction adapter 17 (see "Fitting the extraction
adapter or curved nozzle", page 17).
– Insert the extraction adapter 17 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 vacuum hose 16 must be opened. This will im-
prove the total output of the vacuum cleaner and the power
tool.
To do so, turn the ring above the air diffuser 31 until the max-
imum opening is produced.
AdvancedVac 20:
A socket outlet with earthing contact 4 is integrated in the
vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be connected
there. Observe the maximal allowable load of the connected
power tool.
– To activate the automatic
start/stop of the vacuum cleaner, set
the mode selector switch 5 to the
"Automatic Start/Stop" symbol.
– To start the operation of the vac, switch on the power tool
connected to the socket 4. 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 5 to the "Off" symbol.
Wet Vacuuming
 CAUTION! This appliance is not suitable for picking up
hazardous dust. Do not vacuum inflammable or explo-
sive fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents.
Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not operate the
machine in rooms where the danger of an explosion ex-
ists. 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.
