switch on the power tool, the vacuum cleaner will also switch on. Once the electrical appliance
has been switched off, the vacuum cleaner switches off following a time lapse (around 5
second) to allow the suction tube to be emptied.
3. Dry & Wet Vacuum Operation
WARNING:
ENSURE YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SECTION ENTITLED
‘SAFETY INFORMATION’.
1) Verify that the correct filter is installed for wet or dry vacuuming and the container latches are secured.
2) Secure the locking end of the hose into the vacuum suction port.
3) Push the desired accessories onto the hose nozzle.
4) Plug the power cord into the power socket.
5) Turn on the motor by assigning the switch to the “I” ON position.
6) Once you have completed vacuuming, switch to the “O” OFF position and unplug the power
cord from the power.
For Dry Vacuuming:
WARNING:
BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED AND
SWITCHED OFF.
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for dry vacuuming, install the cartridge filter over the filter cage
with the flat end of the filter towards the vacuum power head. Carefully push filter until it sits
flush forming a tight seal.
2) Place the filter retainer cap on top of cartridge filter over the raised lip and tighten the retainer
lock clockwise to secure against the internal filter cage (Fig. 6).
3) Optionally, fully fit the dust bag flange onto the inlet stub. The Vacuum cleaner can we be used
with or without dust bags.
IMPORTANT: Check the filter regular for optimal performance. An old or blocked filter will reduce
suction performance.
For Wet Vacuuming:
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet vacuuming, remove the retainer cover and the dry use
cartridge filter.
2) Carefully install the supplied foam filter over the internal filter cage, making sure the whole cage
is covered (Fig. 7).
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR WET VACUUMING.
DO NOT USE A DUST COLLECTION BAG FOR WET VACUUMING.
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely;
leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that
stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an
increase in motor noise. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply,
and drain the liquid.
