4.4 Emptying the dirt trap (2.10)

Always remove the upper part of the

vacuum cleaner before emptying the dirt

container!

- Open the vacuum cleaner,

- Raise the upper part slightly, depress the

support (2.5),

- Raise the upper part to the stop (vertical

position),

- Remove the upper part by moving it for-

wards horizontally,

- Empty the dirt container,

- Replace the upper part. Warning: Make

sure that both upper-part pins are fully

inserted in the recesses (1.5)!

- Close the vacuum cleaner.

4.5 Stand/Brake

The wheels can be blocked by the brakes

(2.8), thus preventing the vacuum cleaner

from rolling away unexpectedly.

4.6 Hose depot (partly in scope of

delivery)

Securing the hose depot on the dust extrac-

tor: see Fig. 4. When work is complete, you

can guide the extractor hose through the

opening (4.1) and deposit the hose in the

depot. Similarly, the mains cable can also

be guided through the opening (4.2) and

deposited in the hose depot.

5 Application

- A systainer can be ﬁ xed to the storage

area (1.12) with the two clamps (1.10).

Tools or accessories can also be stowed

on the storage area and in the storage

compartments (1.6, not with CTM 22).

- A hose coupling (1.11) (487072) can be

plugged into the opening (1.8). The suc-

tion hose is connected to the tool from

above with the hose coupling. Alterna-

tively, a hose clip (452998) can be ﬁ tted

for coiling the suction hose.

- The push handle (2.11) (452921; supplied

ready with CTM 44 and CTM 55) makes the

vacuum cleaner easier to move. Acces-

sories (e.g. vacuum accessories) can be

ﬁ xed to the push handle batten (2.9).

- An air blast is obtained by inserting a suc-

tion hose in the blast opening (2.7).

5.1 Vacuuming dry materials

A ﬁ lter bag must be used without

exception when evacuating noxious

substances!

Before using the vacuum cleaner to evacu-

ate dry substances, a ﬁ lter bag must always

be inserted in the container.

Then the evacuated material can be dis-

posed of easily. The ﬁ lter element becomes

damp after evacuating liquids. A damp ﬁ lter

element suffers more wear and tear if it

is used for dry materials. Accordingly, the

ﬁ lter element should be dried or replaced

with a dry one before dry operation.

5.2 Vacuuming liquids

Do not evacuate combustible liquids!

If foam or liquid escapes, stop work

immediately and empty the dirt con-

tainer.

The ﬁ lter bag has to be removed before

evacuating liquids. We recommend use of a

special wet ﬁ lter. When the maximum ﬁ lling

level is reached, a bag-full indicator (2.12)

automatically interrupts extraction.

5.3 Volume ﬂ ow monitoring

If the air speed in the suction hose drops

below 20 m/s, an acoustic warning signal

sounds for safety reasons.
