Defective or wet foam filter / cartridge filter
Device damage
Before starting up, check the foam filter / cartridge filter
for damage, and replace it if necessary. Only vacuum
with a dry foam filter / cartridge filter.
Depending on the equipment variant, a foam filter or a
cartridge filter is included.
 For devices with a foam filter: Always use the filter bag
in addition to the foam filter when dry vacuuming.
 For devices with a cartridge filter: Always use the fil-
ter bag in addition to the cartridge filter when vacu-
uming fine dust.
Note
Replace the filter bag in good time, as a filter bag that is
too full could be damaged. The fill degree of the filter
bag depends on the amount of dirt vacuumed. The filter
bag should be replaced more frequently when vacuum-
ing fine dust, sand, etc.
Wet vacuuming

device capable of vacuuming again, set up the device,
switch it off, wait 5 seconds and then switch it on again.
