4.2.3 Suction power control
The motor speed and the suc-
tion power can be varied with
the suction power control. This
allows precise adaptation of
the suction power for different
cleaning tasks.
4.3 Cleaning the filter
element
If suction performance drops:
1. Close the nozzle or suction
hose opening with the palm
of your hand.
2. Press (3x) the operating
knob for filter cleaning. The
resulting stream of air re-
moves deposited dust from
the slats of the filter ele-
ments.
