directly over the hole to be drilled.
Select the lowest power setting and then switch on the
vacuum cleaner.
Suction holds the drill dust nozzle in the required posi-
tion.
Depending on the surface of the wall to be drilled it may
be necessary to readjust the power to a higher setting to
ensure the drill dust nozzle is firmly attached.

You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can
vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust contain-
er or dust bag.
We recommend that you use:
– the dust container, particularly for DIY-related clean-
ing, e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings, etc.
– the dust bag principally for everyday household
cleaning.

If the dust container is full or blocked, or the con-
tainer filter system very dirty, the filter status indica-
tor flashes red and the blue indicator goes out.
If the appliance is not switched off, and the contain-
er is not emptied or the filter system not cleaned,
after a short time, the filter status indicator will
switch to red permanently and the appliance will
automatically be switched to the lowest power level.
It will only be possible to alter the power level again
after switching the appliance off and back on
