OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired extension wands or nozzle to the vacuum hose. (fig. 3)
4. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF position before plugging the power cord
into the power socket. (fig. 4 & 5)
5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the 'I' ON position. (fig. 6)
6. After use, flip the switch to the 'O' OFF position and unplug the power cord from
the power socket. (fig. 7 & 8)
7. Empty the container into a suitable receptacle or drain. (fig. 9)
8. To rewind the cord, hold on to the plug and press the cord rewind button. Do not
allow plug to whip when rewinding. (fig. 10)
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the
nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening 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 into a suitable receptacle or drain.
To continue vacuuming, refit the container with power head. After wet
vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty
the container, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a
cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

machine is used without the cartridge filter, the motor will burn out and the
warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.

stop small dust particles. The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up
