by using the slider to control access of air into the hose.

4.1 Dry vacuum cleaning

You should only use the vacuum cleaner with a dry fi lter and
appropriate accessories to prevent dust from accumulating and
forming encrustations.
When using the vacuum cleaner to remove soot, cement, plaster,
fl our or similar dust we recommend using fl eece fi lter bags. Always
use fi lter bags in combination with folding fi lter cassettes.
