Assembly
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Mounting the Vacuum-hose Holder (see figure A)
– Slide the vacuum-hose holders 4 firmly from above into the
retainers 32 intended for this purpose, until they engage.
Mounting the Vacuum Hose (see figure B)
– Mount the vacuum hose 24 onto the hose connection
piece 3 and turn it in clockwise direction to the stop.
Note: While vacuuming, an electrostatic charge develops in
the vacuum hose and accessories caused through the friction
of the dust, which the operator could experience in the form
of static discharging (dependent on environmental influences
and physical perception).
As a general rule, Bosch recommends using an anti-static vac-
uum hose (accessory), when vacuuming fine dusts and dry
materials.
Mounting VAC Accessories (see figure C)
The vacuum hose 24 is equipped with a clip system, with
which the VAC accessories (tool sleeve 22, elbow 23) can be
connected.
Mounting the Tool Sleeve
– Mount the tool sleeve 22 onto the vacuum hose 24 until
both snap-fasteners 33 of the vacuum hose can be heard
to engage.
– To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 33 inward and
pull the components apart.
Mounting Nozzles and Tubes
– Mount the elbow 23 onto the vacuum hose 24 until both
snap-fasteners 33 of the vacuum hose can be heard to
engage.
– Afterwards, mount the desired VAC accessory (floor noz-
zle, crevice nozzle, vacuum tube, etc.) firmly onto the el-
bow 23.
– To disassemble, press both snap-fasteners 33 inward and
pull the components apart.
Inserting/Removing a Disposal Bag or Dust
Bag (Dry Vacuuming) (see figures D1
– D2)
For dry vacuuming of materials according to dust category M,
a disposal bag 25 or a dust bag must be inserted.
When vacuuming materials with or without an exposition limit
value ≥ 1 mg/m
3 (according to dust category L), it is possible
to vacuum directly into the container.
Note: When using a paper filter bag, the automatic filter
cleaning (AFC) (see “Deactivating the AFC”, page 21) must,
and when using a fleece filter bag, should be shut off.
The vacuum cleaner contains materials
that are hazardous to one’s health.
Have the emptying and maintenance, incl. the disposal of
dust-collection containers, carried out only by specialists.
Appropriate protective equipment is required. Do not op-
erate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter sys-
tem. Otherwise there is danger to your own health.
Inserting a Disposal bBag
– Unlock the latches 13 and remove the vacuum lid 12.
– Insert the disposal bag 25 into the container 1 with the fill-
ing opening toward the front.
– Pull the filling opening over the connection flange into the
recess of the connection flange.
– Make sure that the disposal bag 25 faces completely
against the interior sides of the container 1.
– Fold the rest of the disposal bag 25 over the edge of the
container 1.
– Reattach the vacuum lid 12 again and lock the latches 13.
Removing and Closing the Disposal Bag
– Unlock the latches 13 and remove the vacuum lid 12.
– Pull the full disposal bag 25 toward the rear off of the con-
nection flange.
– Carefully remove the disposal bag 25 out of the vacuum
cleaner without damaging it.
When doing this, pay attention that the disposal bag does
not get caught or ripped open against the connection
flange or other sharp objects.
– Pull the cover off of the adhesive strip, close the disposal
bag and tape it shut.
Afterwards, tie off the disposal bag 25 below the filling
opening with the pulled off cover of the adhesive strip.
Replacing/Inserting the Dust Bag (Accessory)
– Unlock the latches 13 and remove the vacuum lid 12.
– Pull off the full dust bag from the connection flange toward
the rear. Close the opening of the dust bag by folding down
the lid. Remove the closed dust bag from the vacuum
cleaner.
