In the case of insufficient vacuuming
performance, check the following:
– Is the canister 1 full?
▷ Empty the canister. See “Cleaning
The Canister” on page 11.
– Is the filter 27 clogged with dust?
▷ Clean or replace the filter. See
“Cleaning/replacing HEPA filters” on
page 11.
– Is the battery pack charge too low?
▷ Charge or replace the battery. Refer
to your battery charger Operating and
Safety Instructions.
Regularly emptying the dust canister 1
and cleaning the filter 27 will ensure
optimum suction power.
If the vacuuming performance is not
achieved thereafter, take the vacuum
cleaner to Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
Operating Instructions
Troubleshooting
adapter (sold separately) can be either
slid into the hose port or snapped into
place. Bosch also offers a variety of
other vacuum hose adapters (not
included) to allow the hose to be
connected to hose ports of various
sizes. See page 15.
- Fit the power tool adapter 14 or the
bend 15 (refer to “Fitting The Power
Tool Adapter Or Bend”).
- Insert the power tool adapter 14 or
the bend 15 into the power tool's
dust port (Fig. 14).
Note: When working with power tools
that have a low air feed into the vacuum
hose (e.g. jigsaws, sanders, etc.), the air
diffuser 26 of the power tool adapter 14
must be opened. This will improve the
total output of the vacuum cleaner and
the power tool. To do so, turn the ring
above the air diffuser 26 until the widest
possible opening is produced.
▶ Wet Vacuuming
Do not use to
vacuum flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive dusts, like
gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid,
varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas,
hydrogen, coal dust, magnesium dust,
grain dust, or gun powder. Electric
motors create sparks, which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
A filter must be used
when wet vacuuming.
Before wet vacuuming:
- Empty the canister 1.
- Clean the filter 27 and reinstall it into
the motor unit. (see “Cleaning/
replacing HEPA filters “, page 11).
The vacuum is equipped with a floater.
Once the maximum fill level is reached,
vacuuming will be stopped.
When the vacuum cleaner is shut off,
some water may flow out of the hose.
After every wet vacuuming application:
- Empty the container 1.
- Make sure that the filter 27 is being
emptied as well so no water
remains inside.
To prevent the formation of mold:
- Remove the vacuum lid 5 and leave it
to dry thoroughly
- Remove the filter 27 and leave this
out to dry thoroughly as well (see
“Cleaning/replacing HEPA filters”,
page 11)
Use a dry filter for subsequent dry
vacuuming. We suggest purchasing an
extra filter when frequently alternating
between wet and dry vacuuming and
swap them out as needed.
