To comply with regulations, only
approved dust producing tools
should be connected.

4.3.2 Cleaning the
filter element
" XtremeClean "
(ATTIX 963-21 ED XC,

If suction performance drops:

Turn switch to position "II" (maximum suction power).

1.
Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your

2.
hand.
Press the button to start filter cleaning three times. The resulting

3.
stream of air removes attached dust from the slats of the filter
elements.

Only for vacuum cleaning without a
cloth insert filter.

To ensure that suction performance is always at its best, the filter
element is automatically cleaned during operation. We recommend
complete cleaning if the filter element becomes extremely dirty.

Switch off the vacuum cleaner

1.

Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your

2.

hand.
Turn the switch to position „I“ and let the cleaner operate for ap-

5 Applications and techniques

ATTIX 9 STD

english

5.1 Techniques

5.1.1 Picking up dry
substances

If used correctly, additional accessories, suction nozzles and suc­tion hoses can enhance the cleaning action and reduce the cleaning
effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if you follow just a few guidelines in
combination with your own practical experience in special fields.

Here are some basic tips.

CAUTION!

Do not pick up flammable substances.

Before picking up dry substances, always ensure that a filter bag is
inserted in the tank (see section 9.6 "Accessories" for order number).
Disposal of the picked up material is then simple and hygienic.

After picking up liquids, the filter element is wet. A damp filter ele­ment clogs more quickly when dry substances are picked up. For this
reason the filter element should be washed and dried or replaced by
a dry element before dry substances are picked up.

5.1.2 Picking up liquids

CAUTION!

Do not pick up flammable liquids.

Do not use the ATTIX 963-21 ED XC to pick up liquids.

Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/disposal
bag.

The use of a separate filter element or filter screen is recommend­ed.

If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank.

To reduce the amount of foam, use foam killer Alto Foam Stop (see
section 9.6 "Accessories" for order number).
