the voltage given on the rating plate.
E Changing the cartridge filter
(Optional extra, Part no. 787021/421)
Pull out the plug!
Depending on the model type, the retaining
clips are either already pre-mounted or must
be fitted according to the enclosed Assembly
Instructions F.

block from the collecting bin and turn over.
Secure the cartridge filter by the pre-mounted
retaining clips.
Place the new cartridge filter in an upright
position on the motor flange and gently but
firmly slide it into place on the filter mounting.
The pre-mounted retaining clips automatically
snap into place, thus securing the cartridge
filter. Place the motor block on the collecting
bin again and secure by means of the snap
fasteners.

cardboard inlay is placed in line with the
suction soket.
Then press the filter bag evenly
around the sides of the collecting bin.
Thomas paper filter bags are essential
when vacuuming fine dust, e.g. soot, ashes,
sawdust or cement. However, they are also
recommended for normal use, as they not
only improve the retention of dust, but also
make filter changes more hygienic.
Changing the cartridge filter
Gently pull the retaining clips back in the
direction indicated and carefully remove the
cartridge filter in an upright position from the
filter mounting. Clean the soiled cartridge
filter under running water – if necessary, with
a brush.
Drain and allow to dry thoroughly before
