OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical tool connections

- if the tool is equipped with a vacuum device, connect it to the pipe-union (13)
using the hose (24) (fig. 5); connect the other end of the tool (26) (fig. 6a);
- do not connect tools with loads over their rated capacity
(1x1000 W max)..
Pneumatic tool connections (only EP versions)
- Connect the compressed air supply hose to the vacuum quick coupling (19) (fig.
4); connect the other end to the tool (232) (fig. 6);
- if the tool is equipped with a vacuum device, connect it to the pipe-union (13)
using the sleeve (optional) (24) (fig. 5).
Preliminary checks
- Check that the dust bag is in the container and that the filter is assembled;
- Check that the vacuum hose is properly fixed and does not hinder tool move-
ment;

Only after having performed connections should you proceed with a brief operating
trial of the tools following their instructions.
Suction adjustment function
When the machine is set to automatic, by rotating the selector (3) from min to max
suction is progressively adjusted from minimum to maximum.
Air exhaust (16)
By connecting the sleeve (24) to the exhaust (16) (fig. 13), a powerful jet of air is
generated to blow, dry, inflate, etc.
