the device socket).
Note
As soon as the power tool is switched on, the suction
turbine starts up with a 0.5 second delay. If the power
tool is switched off, the suction turbine continues to run
for approx. 5 seconds in order to suck in the residual dirt
in the suction hose.
Integrated filter cleaning system
Note
The filter cleaning system is designed for vacuuming
large quantities of fine dust without a filter bag inserted.
The filter cleaning system allows the soiled flat fold filter
to be cleaned at the push of a button and the suction
performance to be increased again.
 Place the handle of the suction hose in the designat-
ed parking position on the device head. Press the fil-
ter cleaning button three times with the device
switched on, waiting 4 seconds between the individ-
ual actuations.

After pressing the filter cleaning button several times,
check the container for its filling volume. Otherwise dirt
can escape when the container is opened
Blower function
The blower function can be used to clean areas that are
difficult to reach or where vacuuming is not possible,
e.g. leaves in a gravel bed.
 Insert the suction hose into the blower connection.
The blower function is now activated.
