Maintenance and Cleaning
Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
u
maintenance on the dust extractor, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or placing the dust
extractor in storage. This safety measure prevents the
dust extractor from being started accidentally.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the dust extractor and the ventilation slots clean.
– Clean the housing of the vacuum cleaner occasionally
with a damp cloth.
– Clean dirty charging pins using a dry cloth.
Cleaning the dust container (see figures B1–B3)
Clean the dust container (8) after each use in order to en-
sure that the vacuum cleaner continues to perform optim-
ally.

not fall out of the dust container when the vacuum cleaner
is opened.

container (8) from the motor housing (7).

bin.

– Insert the filter unit (13) with the filter seal (12) back into
the motor housing (7).
– Then, mount the dust container at the bottom of the mo-
tor housing and apply light pressure to the dust container
until it audibly clicks into place.
