Emptying the drum

Take care, the tank
may be heavier than you think.
1. Switch off the unit and unplug
from the power point.
2. Remove the lid (5) of the
vacuum by pulling outward
on the release clips (3) on
each side of the vacuum.
Lift off the lid.
3. Empty the drum contents into an appropriate waste
disposal container.

Replacing the filter
WARNING.
Always ensure that
the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the
power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
Your filter should be cleaned
often to maintain peak
performance.
1. Squeeze the filter bag clip
(6b) in on itself.
2. Remove the filter bag (6a)
from the filter cage.
3. To clean the filter bag (6a),
gently brush away small dirt
particles that may have stuck
to the material.
4. After cleaning check the
filter thoroughly for tears or
small holes. Do not use a
filter with tears or holes in it.
Even a small hole can cause
a lot of dust to come out
of your vacuum. Replace it
immediately.
5. Before installing the filter on
the vacuum clean the area
of the lid so that the filter bag
clip (6b) will seal the bag
against the lid and stop small
particles from bypassing the
filter bag.
6. Squeeze the filter bag clip
in on itself and place the
replacement filter bag on the
filter cage until the open end
touches the bottom of the lid.
Note.
To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor,
always reinstall the filter before using the vacuum.
Note.
Clean the filter in an open area, cleaning should be
done outdoors.
WARNING.
Do not remove the filter cage. It is fitted to keep
the shape of the filter bag during operation.
