Operation
Power take off socket operation
Note:
This vacuum cleaner can be used to power another electrical device, e.g. a power tool, up
to 2000W.
1. Check that the ON/OFF Switch (12) is in the '0' (OFF) position
2. Connect the vacuum to the mains power supply
WARNING
: If the device has a power switch, make sure it is switched OFF before plugging into the
Power Take Off Socket (13)
3. Plug the device into the Power Take Off Socket (power will be automatically provided through the
PTO Socket)
Note:
If using the vacuum cleaner as a dust extraction device, connect the Flexible Hose (2) to the
tools dust extraction port, before powering ON.
4. Press the ON/OFF Switch to 'II' (ON) to start the vacuum cleaner
5. Turn your power tool ON and commence work
IMPORTANT:
There is a deliberate 20-second start-up and shut-off delay on the vacuum when using
a power tool connected to the PTO socket.
• The Power Take Off (PTO) Socket (13) provides power to external devices. The PTO is designed to
be used in conjunction with an external machine that requires dust extraction
• The vacuum will power itself ON to work in conjunction with the machine that is connected
• When the machine connected to the Power Take Off (PTO) Switch is switched OFF the vacuum will
simultaneously switch OFF
