WARNING

After wet vacuuming, please proceed as 
described in the section entitled "Dry 
Vacuuming" before you dry vacuum again.

WARNING

Keep bystanders clear from blowing debris.

WARNING

Wear a dust mask if blowing creates dust 
that might be inhaled.

  

Make sure the container is empty before using 
as a blower.

  

Remove hose from the vacuum port.

  

Screw on the large end of hose into the blowing 
port on the back side of the power head. 

     (Fig. 23)

  

Fit the desired extension wand and / or nozzle to 
the vacuum hose. 

(Fig. 24)

  

Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position 
before plugging the power cord into the outlet. 

  

Before turning on the motor, firmly hold loose 
end of the hose. Turn the motor on by flipping 
the switch to the “I”ON position. 

  

Switch the motor on (ON/OFF switch in position 
"I").

  

When you have finished wet vacuuming, switch 
the motor off by putting the ON/OFF switch into 
the "OFF" position (position "0").

  

Unplug the power plug.

  

After use, empty and dry the tank.

  

Tip: If you want to vacuum up a large quantity of 
liquid from a sink or a tank, please don't put the 
entire suction nozzle in the liquid; rather leave a 
little space so that some air can also be drawn in 
along with the liquid.

  

The appliance is equipped with a float switch 
that will stop the vacuuming when the tank is full. 
You will notice that suction has stopped by the 
motor now running faster. In this event, switch 
the appliance off and unplug it.

  

Be aware that the full tank can be very heavy. In 
this event, place the appliance over a drain and 
carefully open the outlet screw. 

(Fig. 20) 

The 

contents of the tank can now drain out to a great 
extent. 

  

Remove the upper section from the tank and 
pour the rest of the liquid into a suitable tank or 
drain. Then, you can continue vacuuming after 
you have replaced the upper section and drain 
outlet.

  

After wet vacuuming, switch off the appliance 
and unplug it. Empty the container and clean/dry 
it inside and outside before putting it away.
