Bosch GAS Professional 15 Notice Originale page 11

– Push the dust extraction adapter (14) onto the vacuum
hose (16) until you hear both snap fasteners (26) on the
vacuum hose engage.
– To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (26) in-
wards and pull apart the components.
Fitting the vacuum hose
Vacuuming function (see figure B1)
– Push the vacuum hose (16) into the hose connection
piece (2) and turn it as far as possible in the direction of
rotation .
Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose
and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic
charge that the user may experience as static discharge (de-
pending on environmental factors and their physiological
state).
Bosch generally recommends using an anti-static vacuum
hose (accessory) to vacuum up fine dust and dry materials.
Blowing function (see figure B2)
The vacuum cleaner has a blowing function. Do not
u
blow exhaust air out into the open air. Only use the
blowing function with a clean hose. Dust can be hazard-
ous to health.
– Switch on the vacuum cleaner for at least five seconds
(GAS 15: On/off switch (4) to "on"; GAS 15 PS: Mode se-
lector switch (4) to the "vacuuming" symbol) to clean the
vacuum hose (16) of dust deposits.
– Turn the vacuum hose (16) as far as possible in the direc-
tion of rotation and pull it out of the hose connection
piece (2).
– Push the vacuum hose (16) into the hose connection
piece (12) and turn it as far as possible in the direction of
rotation .
Inserting/removing the plastic bag or dust bag
(dry vacuuming) (see figures C1–C4)
For dry vacuuming, you can insert a plastic bag (18) or a
dust bag (accessory) into the container (1). This makes it
easier to dispose of coarse dirt.
Inserting the plastic bag
– Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (7).
– Insert the plastic bag (18) into the container (1) with the
inlet facing upwards. Secure the plastic bag under the
suction hole (27) using the clips (28).
– Make sure that the plastic bag (18) touches all the inside
walls of the container (1).
– Fold the rest of the plastic bag (18) over the edge of the
container (1).
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) on and close
the catches (8).
Removing and sealing the plastic bag
– Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (7).
Bosch Power Tools
– Pull the edge of the full plastic bag (18) backwards out of
the clips (28).
– Carefully take the plastic bag (18) out of the container
(1) without damaging it.
– When doing so, make sure that the plastic bag does not
scrape against the intake port (27) or other sharp ob-
jects.
Changing/inserting the dust bag (accessory)
– Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (7).
– Pull the full dust bag (18) backwards out of the connec-
tion flange. Close the opening in the dust bag by turning
down the top. Take the closed dust bag out of the con-
tainer (1).
– Place the new dust bag over the vacuum cleaner's con-
nection flange. Make sure that the entire length of the
dust bag touches the inside wall of the container (1).
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) on and close
the catches (8).
Fitting the rubber lip (wet vacuuming) (see
figure D)
– Use a suitable tool to lift the brush inserts (23) out of the
floor nozzle (24).
– Place the rubber lips (22) in the floor nozzle (24).
Note: The textured side of the rubber lips must be facing
outwards.
Inserting the wet filter (wet vacuuming) (see
figures E1–E2)
To make disposal easier when vacuuming water-solid mix-
tures, the vacuum cleaner has a wet filter (20) that separ-
ates the liquid from the solids.
– Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner (7).
– Turn the filter holder (29) as far as possible in the direc-
tion of rotation and take the filter holder, together with
the main filter (19), out of the top part of the vacuum
cleaner (7).
– Place the wet filter (20) over the filter basket (30).
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) on and close
the catches (8).
Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
u
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
When operating the dust extractor, ensure that the lockable
castors on the dust extractor are blocked to prevent the dust
extractor from rolling away unintentionally. Test the correct
functioning of the castors on the relevant surface before op-
eration.
