4.3
To use as an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
4.3.1
Firstly attach the hose connector elbow (fig.2-9) to the plain
end of the black flexible hose (fig.2-10). To do this, push the
hose into the open end of the elbow and turn the rotating
sleeve anti-clockwise until it threads tightly onto the hose end.
4.3.2
Referring to fig.6, assemble either the carpet insert (6) or the
brush insert (7) into the floor tool body (5). Place the insert
into the lower opening of the floor tool body and snap the
tabs at either end into place to secure it.
4.3.3
If still in place detach the “Y” connector from the unit by
using the red ribbed release catch. See 5 in fig.3. Insert the
black vacuum hose directly into the unit intake until it snaps
into place.
4.3.4
Attach the required accessories to the hose connector elbow.
4.3.5
Plug the unit into the mains power supply.
4.3.6
When the switch is set to manual (I), see fig.5, this will start
the suction.
4.2
Connecting an Electrically operated tool.
IMPORTANT: If a compressor or a workshop air supply is
connected to the unit disconnect it now.
4.2.1
Take the 'Y' connector, see 3 in figs. 2 & 3 and insert it into
the intake socket at the base of the machine as shown in
fig.3. Close off one branch of the 'Y' connector using the cap
on the chain as shown in fig.3-4.
4.2.2
Take the light grey combined suction and air hose (fig.1-11)
and push the rubber fitting onto the other branch of the 'Y'
connector as shown in fig.3-2.
DO NOT connect the air line
hose to the unit.
4.2.3
Connect the other end of the suction hose to the electric tool
as shown above in fig.4. If necessary, tie or tape the
redundant air line to the suction hose to keep it out of the way.
4.2.4
Lift the socket cover and plug the tool’s electrical cable into
the vacuum system’s power socket as shown in fig.5-1&2.
WARNING! DO NOT
plug the tool into any electrical supply
other than the vacuum system’s.
4.2.5
Take the vacuum system’s electrical cable and plug into the
mains power supply and switch the power on.
4.2.6
Press the operating switch to the “Automatic” mode (II). The
red standby light will illuminate. See 3 & 4 in fig.5.
4.2.7
The unit is now ready for use and will automatically activate
when you turn the tool on.

The recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.7.
WARNING!
Ensure correct air pressure is used, maintained
and not exceeded for the sander attachment.
Air supply should be adequate for a minimum of 10.6cfm free
air delivery to the sanding tool. This should be a minimum of
13cfm free air delivered to the air inlet of the dust free
vacuum system. We recommend use of a 3hp (or more)
compressor to operate an air tool.
Air supply must be delivered through a 3/8” internal diameter
air hose and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
If you use a 5/16” internal diameter the performance of the
tool may suffer.
5.1
Ensure the air valve is in the "off" position before connecting
to the air supply.
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply does not exceed 90psi
while operating the sander. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear,
and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
5.2
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
5.3
Clean the air inlet filter screen weekly.
5.4
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
5.5
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses
for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
