Metabo ASR 35 L ACP Original Instructions Manual page 19

Note: If you need to turn the rotary switch (5) to a
lower value because of a machine generating dust
(e.g. small diameter of suction canal in the machine
generating dust, compared to large suction hose
diameter), there is no guarantee that dust will be
conveyed adequately in the suction hose. The
suction hose must be removed from the machine
generating dust after every operating sequence, so
it can be vacuumed clear.
8. Use
8.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, dry device and dry
accessories only. If the cartridge is damp, dust may
stick and form a crust.
Always use fleece filter bag (7) or PE disposal bag
(6) together with pleated filter (17).
8.2 Wet vacuuming
Never operate the machine without inserting a
filter cassette (17) first. The machine may be
destroyed and water may also escape.
You can use either fleece filter bags (7) or PE
disposal bags (6). The filter cartridges (17) are
suitable for wet vacuuming.
Before carrying out any wet vacuuming, remove the
dry vacuumed material. This process will prevent
severe soiling and encrustation.
The integrated water sensor switches off the motor
when the container is full. Empty the device. If the
device is not switched off, the restart protection
device remains effective. The device is not
operable again until it has been switched off and
switched back on again.
After switching off, some water may run back out of
the hose.
Before emptying, first of all take the suction hose out
of the liquid.
If you are then going to dry vacuum, insert a dry
filter. If there is frequent switching between dry and
wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of a second
(replacement) filter (preferably Polyester filter
cassettes). Allow the filter, container and
accessories to dry: otherwise dust may adhere to
damp components.
8.3 Special instructions for ASR 35 M ACP,
ASR 35 H ACP
Use as industrial vacuum cleaner (IS):
Turn switch (2) to the "AR" position.
Adjust the rotary switch (5) to a diameter of 35 mm.
If the volume flow falls below the set value, the
volume flow control display lights up to indicate that
the container must be emptied, or that the fleece
filter bag (7) or the PE disposal bag (6) must be
replaced.
Use as a dust extractor (ENT):
The dust extractor must not be connected to more
than one dust source.
Turn switch (2) to the "AR" position.
Adjust the rotary switch (5) to the hose diameter of
the suction hose fitted. For more detailed
information, see section 7.5.
Connect the power tool (deactivated) to the plug
socket (4). See chapter 7.2.
If the volume flow falls below a set value, the filter
cassettes (17) are automatically vibrated (without
any reduction in suction power). If the value remains
too low, the volume flow control display lights up
and an acoustic signal is also issued: indicating that
the container must be emptied or the fleece filter
bag (7) or the PE filter bag (6) must be replaced.
8.4 Transport
In the case of the ASR 35 L ACP, leave the hose on
the device to prevent dust accidentally escaping.
For ASR 35 M ACP, ASR 35 H ACP: In the case of
ASR , seal the suction opening (13) with a sealing
plug (12) and join the hose ends to prevent dust
from escaping.
Wrap the suction hose about the vacuum cleaner.
Place the accessories in a suitable plastic bag and
seal the bag.
Suspend the mains connection lead on the cable
holder (11).
The upper part (8) must be securely sealed to the
container (10) - check that the snap locks (9) are
closed.
