Check the dust bag regularly and change it when it is
2/3 full. The bag is designed such that only air, and no
dust, can pass through the paper. Therefore a used
dust bag may not be reused again.
NOTE:
Don't use the dust bag for vacuuming up
objects with sharp edges or wet objects.
CARTRIDGE FILTER
When using the cartridge filter, no dust bag is
necessary.
Place the cartridge filter on the filter basket from the
top, turn on the cartridge filter cap. See figures 21 - 22.
After extended use, it can be cleaned by tapping out
or brushing out.

WET VACUUM CLEANING
WARNING
It is absolutely necessary for you to read, understand,
and observe the section entitled "Safety Information
and Warnings".
NOTE:
Never vacuum up hazardous materials.
Make sure that the appliance is not plugged into the
power mains.
Check to make sure that the tank is free of dust and
dirt.
Remove the dust bag and only leave the foam filter
over the filter basket. See figure 19.
Place the upper section on the tank once again and
close the clamps. See figures 10 - 11.
Place the large end of the hose on the front air intake
stub on the tank. See figure 12.
Select a nozzle or the wand and slide it over the
vacuum hose. See figure 13.
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the appliance is
in the 'OFF' position (position "0") before you plug the
power plug into the receptacle.
Plug the power plug into the receptacle.
Switch the motor on (ON/OFF switch in position "I").
When you have finished wet vacuuming, switch the

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. See figure 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.
WARNING
After wet vacuuming, please proceed as described in
the section entitled "Dry Vacuuming" before you dry
vacuum again.
BLOWING: VC30A
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. See figure 23.
Fit the desired extension wand and / or nozzle to the
vacuum hose. See figure 24.
Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before
plugging the power cord into the outlet.
