CE declaration 21
The machine is meant for dry and wet
cleaning of floors and walls.
The appliance is suited for the extrac-
tion of dry, non-combustible, harmful
dusts on machines and appliances;
dust class M according to EN 60 335–
2–69. Restriction: No carcinogenic sub-
stances except wood dust may be
sucked in.
This appliance is suited for the commer-
cial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospi-
tals, factories, shops, offices, and rental
companies.
Danger
When the outgoing air is carried back
into the room, a sufficient ventilation
rate L in the room must be ensured. To
comply with the required limit values the
carried back volume flow must be 50%
of the fresh air volume flow (room vol-
ume V
R
x ventilation rate L
W
) at maxi-
mum. Without a specific ventilation
system the following applies: L

Proper use
Symbols on the machine
WARNING: This unit contains hazardous
dust. Emptying and maintenance, includ-
ing the removal of the dust bag, may only
be carried out by someone who is familiar
with the unit and wearing suitable protec-
tive gear. Do not switch on the unit until
the complete filter system has been in-
stalled and the function of the volume-
flow control has been tested.
Safety instructions
14 English
the sucked-in material may use the ma-
chine.
This appliance contains harmful dust.
Evacuation and maintenance work, in-
cluding the disposal of the dust collec-
tion containers, may only be performed
by specialists who wear the appropriate
protective equipment.
Do not use the appliance without the
complete filtering system.
Please follow the safety regulations ap-
plicable to the materials that are to be
treated.
The appliance allows 2 operating modes:
1 Industry vacuum cleaner mode (socket
not used)
2 Dedusting mode (socket used)
Î Connect the suction hose and insert in-
sert the suction nozzle or connect to the
dust-generating device depending on
the operating mode.
Warning
Do not vacuum without the filter elements;
otherwise, the suction motor can get dam-
aged and this can be hazardous to health
on account of increased release of fine dust
particles.
The horn blows when the air speed falls be-
low 20 m/s.
Note
The horn reacts to negative pressure.
Î Set the rotary switch to the correct suc-
tion hose cross-section.
Static charge is deflected by providing
earthing to the connection nozzles. This
prevents the formation of sparks and cur-
rent shocks due to attachments (option)
with electrical conductivity.
Danger
Do not use the filters 6.904-212.0 and
6.904-190.0 (special accessory) while
sucking in dusts hazardous to health.
Note
You can use this appliance to take up all
types of dust up to dust class M. It is statu-
torily necessary to use a dust collection bag
(see Filter systems for order number).
Note
The appliance is suited as industrial vacu-
um cleaner and as dedusting device for the
mobile operation to take up dry, non-com-
bustible dusts with MAK values greater
than or equal to 0.1 mg/m
3
.
Note
To ensure that the air speed during the
dedusting does not fall below a value of
20 m/s in the suction hose at any time the
appliance is equipped with an operating
pressure difference display and a dedust-
ing device.
Warning
The flat pleated filter must must always be
in place while vacuuming.
To suck fine dust, you can also use an
additional disposal bag or a paper filter
bag (special accessory).

If wet dirt is vacuumed with the uphol-
stery or crevice nozzle, or if water is
sucked up from a container, it is recom-
mended to deactivate the "automatic fil-
ter cleaning" function.
If the maximum liquid level is reached
the appliance will turn off automatically.
In case of non-conductive liquids
(such as emulsion drilling fluids,
oils, and greases) the appliance is
not turned off when the container is
full. The filling level must be continu-
ously monitored and the container
must be emptied in time.
After having completed the wet vacuum
operation clean the flat pleated filter,
the electrodes and the container and let
dry.
The suction hose is equipped with a clip
system. All C-35/C-DN-35 accessories can
be connected.
Î Plug in the main plug.
Î Turn on the appliance.
Î Set the suction output (mix - max) at the
rotary switch.
Î Connect the mains plug of the electric
power tool to the vacuum cleaner (3).
Î Turn on the appliance (1).
Lamp is on - vacuum cleaner is in the
standby mode (2).
Note
The vacuum cleaner is turned on and
off automatically with the electric power
tool.
The vacuum cleaner starts automatical-
ly within 0.5 seconds and continues to
run for 15 seconds after the power tool
has been switched off.

tary switch (1).
The scale (2) displays the suction hose
section.
Note
The different suction hose sections are re-
quired to allow an adjustment to the con-
nection sections of the processing tools.
Note
To use the appliance as dedusting device
for the mobile operation (processing tool
connected to the vacuum cleaner) the built-
in monitoring must be adjusted to the con-
nected processing tool (dust-generating
device). This means that the user must be
warned if the minimum volume flow of
20 m/s that is required for the suction is fall-
en short of.
Note
Please refer to the type plate for the speci-
fication of the minimum volume flow in de-
pendence on the negative pressure.
The appliance has an innovative filter
cleaning system that is particularly effective
with fine dust. The flat pleated filter is auto-
matically cleaned every 15 seconds
through an air jet (pulsating sound).
Note
Automatic filter cleaning is switched on at
the factory.

Dust extracting machines are safeguards
for the prevention or elimination of hazards
defined in the regulations of BGV A1.
In order to carry out maintenance work,
the user must disassemble, clean and
service the unit, in so far as this is pos-
sible without endangering maintenance
personnel and other persons. Suitable
precautions include decontamination
before the unit is disassembled. Pre-
cautions must be taken for local filtered
forced air ventilation at the place where
the unit is dissassembled, the cleaning
of the maintenance surface and suita-
ble protection of the personnel.
The outside of the unit should be
cleaned thoroughly and any harmful
substances removed. Alternatively, a
sealed coating may be applied before
the unit is removed from the danger ar-
ea. All unit parts are to be considered
contaminated when they are removed
from the danger area.
In the framework of maintenance and
repair work all contaminated objects
that cannot be cleaned satisfactorily
must be disposed of. Such objects must
be disposed of in impermeable bags in
accordance with the valid provisions for
the disposal of such waste.
During the transport and maintenance
of the appliance the extraction opening
is to be closed with the connection
socket.
Warning
Safety equipment for preventing hazards
must be serviced and maintained regularly.
This means that the manufacturer's staff or
persons trained by the manufacturer must
check the equipment for proper functioning
at least once a year, i.e. check for leaks, fil-
ter damage, functioning of the controlling
elements, etc.
No outside help is required for carrying
out basic maintenance and cleaning.
The appliance surface and the inside of
the container should be cleaned regu-
larly using a damp cloth.
