- For crevices and tight spaces, use the crevice tool.
- For dusting, use the dusting brush.
- Cable Rewind: When finished, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Gently press the foot pedal or pull the cable slightly to activate the automatic cable rewind system. Guide the cable to prevent tangling.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.
6.1. Dust Bag Replacement
- Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply.
- Unclip the head of the vacuum cleaner and lift it off.
- Carefully remove the full dust bag by pulling the cardboard collar away from the inlet. Seal the bag if it has a sealing mechanism.
- Insert a new Numatic HepaFlo dust bag, ensuring the collar is fully seated in the inlet.
- Replace the vacuum cleaner head and secure the clips.
6.2. Filter Cleaning
The main filter (usually a large cloth filter) should be checked periodically. If it appears dirty, gently shake or brush off loose dust. Do not wash the main filter unless specifically instructed by Numatic, as this can damage it.
6.3. Hose and Attachment Cleaning
Check the hose and attachments regularly for blockages. If a blockage is found, disconnect the component and carefully remove the obstruction. Wipe attachments with a damp cloth if necessary.

|---|---|---|
| Vacuum cleaner does not switch on. | No power supply. | Check if the plug is correctly inserted and the wall socket is functional. |
