N Depending on the intended use of
the vacuum, fit the crevice tool (6),
all-purpose tool (7) or floor tool (8)
onto the extension tube.
The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Extension Cords
Make sure your electrical cord set is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized
extension cord may cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size (AWG) to use for your
machine (Cord types SJW or SJTW)
depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment or from your STIHL dealer.
Connection to the power supply

Vacuuming dry materials
Always make sure that the filter bag has
been fitted in the container before
vacuuming dry materials. The
vacuumed material can then be
disposed of without difficulty. Dry
materials can also be vacuumed without
filter bag.
Vacuuming liquids
Always remove the filter bag and check
operation of the float before vacuuming
liquids. The float switches off the air
stream when the container is full. If the
machine is exclusively used for wet-
vacuuming, the filter element should be
replaced by a special insert (special
accessory).
The filter element is damp after
vacuuming liquids. The filter element is
likely to clog up more quickly if dry
material is vacuumed while it is still
damp. For this reason, the filter element
should be dried or replaced by a dry filter
element before vacuuming dry
materials.
