Do not use the battery as a power source for other unspecified appliances.
2.2 Hose diameter settings (only VC 20‑UM‑Y/ VC 40‑UM‑Y)
In order to ensure that the M-function warning signal tone threshold is configured correctly, the
hose diameter setting must correspond to the hose diameter used.
2.3 The items supplied as standard include:
1 Appliance with filter element
1 Suction hose complete with hose
connector (electrically conductive),
hose sleeve and tapered adapter
1 PE VC 20 plastic dust bag
1 Operating instructions
2.4 Using extension cords
Use only extension cords of a type approved for the application and with conductors of adequate
gauge. The appliance may otherwise lose performance and the extension cord may overheat.
Check the extension cord for damage at regular intervals. Replace damaged extension cords.
Recommended minimum conductor cross section and max. cord length for operating the
appliance in conjunction with an electric tool plugged into the built-in power outlet:
Conductor cross section
Mains voltage 220-240 V
Use only extension cords equipped with an earth conductor.
Do not use extension cords with a conductor cross section of less than 1.5 mm².
2.5 Using extension cords outdoors
When working outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and correspondingly marked
for this application.
2.6 Using a generator or transformer
This appliance may be powered by a generator or transformer when the following conditions
are fulfilled: The unit must provide a power output in watts of at least twice the maximum value
printed on the type identification plate on the power tool or appliance. The operating voltage
must remain within +5% and -15% of the rated voltage at all times, frequency must be in the 50
– 60 Hz range and never above 65 Hz, and the unit must be equipped with automatic voltage
regulation and starting boost.
Never operate other power tools or appliances from the generator or transformer at the same
time. Switching other power tools or appliances on and off may cause undervoltage and / or
overvoltage peaks, resulting in damage to the power tool or appliance.
