Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must correspond with the data on the type
plate of the vacuum cleaner.
Make sure you inform yourself about the applicable
u
regulations/laws on how to handle harmful types of
dust in your country.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
The dust extractor must categorically not be used in poten-
tially explosive areas.
To ensure optimum suction power, you must always fully un-
wind the vacuum hose (16) from the top part of the dust ex-
tractor (7).

Dry vacuuming

Note: When carrying out dry extraction, ensure that the main
filter (19) is inserted into the dust extractor.
Vacuuming up dust deposits (GAS 15)
– To switch on the vacuum cleaner, set the
on/off switch (4) to the "on" symbol.
– To switch off the vacuum cleaner, set the
on/off switch (4) to the "off" symbol.
Extracting dust deposits (GAS 15 PS)

Extracting dust that accumulates from working power
tools (GAS 15 PS) (see figure F)
There must be a sufficient air exchange rate (L) in the
u
room when the exhaust air comes back into the room.
Be aware of the corresponding national regulations.
The dust extractor has an electric socket with a protective
earth contact (3), which can be used to connect an external
power tool. Observe the maximum permitted load of the
connected power tool.
– Fit the dust extraction adapter (14).
– Insert the dust extraction adapter (14) into the extraction
outlet of 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
false air intake (31) of the dust extraction adapter (14) must
be opened. This will ensure that the semi-automatic filter
cleaning function works correctly.
To do this, turn the ring above the false air intake (31) until
the opening is at its maximum size.
– To activate the automatic start/stop
function of the dust extractor, set the

mode selector switch (4) to the "auto-
matic start/stop" symbol.
– To start the dust extractor, switch on the power tool
connected to the plug socket (3). The dust extractor will
start automatically.
– To stop dust extraction, switch the power tool off.
The automatic start/stop run-on function will run for up
to 6 seconds longer in order to extract the remaining
dust from the vacuum hose.
– To switch off the dust extractor, set the
mode selector switch (4) to the "switch
off" symbol.

Wet vacuuming

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible
u
or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or
solvents. Do not vacuum hot, burning or explosive
dust. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas sub-
ject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can
ignite or explode.
The vacuum cleaner must not be used as a water
u
pump. The vacuum cleaner is designed for vacuuming air
and vacuuming water mixtures.
Note: When wet vacuuming, ensure that the main filter (19)
is removed from the vacuum cleaner.
Steps to Take before Wet Vacuuming
– 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).
– Remove the plastic bag (18) or dust bag if necessary.
– Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) on and close
the catches (8).
– Place the rubber lip (22) in the floor nozzle (24).
Vacuuming up liquids
– Switch the dust extractor on (GAS 15: On/off switch (4)
to "on"; GAS 15 PS: Mode selector switch (4) to the "ex-
traction" symbol).
The dust extractor is equipped with a float. Extraction is
stopped when the maximum filling level is reached.
– Set the on/off switch (4) to "off" (GAS 15) or set the
mode selector switch (4) to the "switch off" symbol (GAS
15 PS).
– Empty the container (1).
To prevent mould growth after wet extraction:
– Remove the top part of the dust extractor (7) and leave it
to dry thoroughly.
– Remove the wet filter (20) and also leave this to dry thor-
oughly.
