NOTE
As soon as the filter is significantly worn or
damaged, it must be renewed (customer
appraisal).
This depends on the type of use:
Lifting of clean material - longer service
–
life of filter
Lifting of dirty/dusty material - shorter
–
service life of filter
NOTE
Any changes to the tool, including technical
modifications, are not permitted. They can
cause injuries. Failure to comply will
invalidate any claims under the
manufacturer's warranty.

Exchanging wear parts
Replacing foam seal
NOTE
As soon as the foam seal is worn or
damaged, it must be renewed.
Pull out foam seal.
Carefully fit new foam seal. Ensure that the
new foam seal is seated correctly and
securely.
Replacing air filter
NOTE
A reduction in suction performance is a sign
that the air filter needs to be cleaned and/or
renewed. When replacing the filter, keep the
air line clear of obstacles or foreign bodies.
Turn the tool onto its head.
With the pointed end of a screwdriver,
remove the air filter sealing ring and take
out the air filter mat.
Two procedures are now possible:
– Clean air filter with compressed air
– Insert new air filter mat.
Insert the air filter sealing ring again to
secure the air filter.
