Quick guide from the manual
The Bosch GAS 18V-10 L Professional is a cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner designed for professional use in trade, industry, and workshops. It is suitable for vacuuming non-flammable dry dusts (dust class L) and non-flammable liquids. Key operations include battery installation, proper hose and nozzle assembly, and regular filter maintenance to ensure optimal suction power.
Device Description
The vacuum cleaner features a bagless filter system (Rotational Airflow) where dirt is collected on the inner wall of the container. It includes a container, a top part with an on/off button, a battery compartment, and various nozzles (crevice, floor, curved) and suction tubes.
Assembly
Before performing any maintenance or changing accessories, always remove the battery. Attach the accessory brackets to the top of the unit. Connect the vacuum hose to the hose adapter until the snap fasteners click into place. Attach the desired nozzle or suction tube to the hose system using the clip-on mechanism.
Operation
To start, ensure the filter is correctly installed and the battery compartment cover is securely closed. Press the on/off button to start. For dry vacuuming with power tools, connect the tool to the vacuum hose using the extraction adapter. If the tool has low air feed, open the false air intake on the adapter. For wet vacuuming, ensure the container is empty and the filter is clean. The unit features a float that stops suction when the maximum liquid level is reached.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regularly empty the container and clean the filter to maintain suction performance. To clean the filter, remove the top part, turn the filter to unlock it, and tap it against a waste bin or rinse it with water if wet. Allow the filter to dry thoroughly before reinstallation. Do not use compressed air for cleaning. A technical inspection should be performed at least once a year by a qualified professional.
Troubleshooting
If suction power is insufficient, check if the container is full, the filter is clogged with dust, or the battery capacity is too low. Charge the battery or clean the filter/container as needed.
