Bosch EasyVac 3 Dry Vacuum Cleaner User Guide

Quick guide from the manual

The Bosch EasyVac 3 is a dry vacuum cleaner designed for private use. It is particularly suitable for extracting dust and chips from power tools. This guide provides essential information for safe and efficient operation.

Device Description

The vacuum cleaner features a hose connection, a mode selector switch, a power tool socket for automatic start/stop, and a dust container with a multi-stage filter system (fabric filter, flat-pleated filter, and permanent filter).

Assembly

1. Vacuum Hose: Insert the hose into the connection piece and turn it clockwise until it stops.
2. Accessories: Attach the extraction adapter or curved nozzle to the hose until the snap fasteners click into place. Attach the desired nozzle (floor, crevice, etc.) to the adapter or curved nozzle.
3. Dust Bag: For fine dust, insert a dust bag into the dust cup. For coarser dirt, you can use the vacuum without a bag, but clean the fabric filter regularly.

Operation

Modes: Use the mode selector switch to choose between 'Vacuuming' (manual) or 'Automatic Start/Stop' (for power tools). In automatic mode, the vacuum starts when the connected power tool is switched on and continues for about 6 seconds after the tool is switched off to clear the hose.

Airflow Adjustment: When using power tools with low airflow (e.g., jigsaws, sanders), open the air diffuser ring on the hose to improve overall performance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Filter Assembly: Remove the dust cup, take out the fabric filter and flat-pleated filter. Brush them with a soft brush or rinse under running water and let them dry thoroughly.
• Permanent Filter: Open the exhaust air cover, remove the permanent filter, rinse under running water, and let it dry.
• Dust Cup: Wipe occasionally with a non-abrasive detergent.

Troubleshooting

If suction performance is insufficient, check if the hose is clogged, filters are full, or the dust cup/bag is full. If the unit overheats, it will switch off. Let it cool for 60 minutes, unplug and replug, and ensure all filters and the hose are clear.
