Additionally applicable to UL, UM and UME vacuum cleaners
With vacuum cleaners it is necessary to make provision for an adequate rate of air exchange (L) in the room in situations where the expelled air is returned to the room. Please observe national regulations.
Wet/dry vacuum cleaner including filter element, suction hose complete with rotatable connector (at the vacuum cleaner end) and connector for accessories, PE VC 20/40 plastic dust bag, operating instructions.
UM and UME vacuum cleaners emit an audible warning tone. This warning tone is emitted when the air speed in the hose drops below 20 m/s.
In order to ensure that the warning tone is emitted correctly, the hose diameter setting must be set to the diameter of the suction hose in use.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system that removes most of the dust adhering to the filter element.
The filter cleaning system can be switched off by pressing the “Automatic filter cleaning ON/OFF” button and switched back on by pressing the button again.

The filter cleaning system is activated automatically each time the vacuum cleaner is switched on.
The filter element is cleaned automatically by a blast of air (a pulsating noise is heard).
In order to achieve continuously high suction performance in system applications (especially grinding and sanding, cutting and slitting) or when picking up large quantities of dust, the filter cleaning system must be active.
The filter cleaning system functions only when a suction hose is connected.
